Northern Virginia Roll Call

law.suit.

 

Yeppppp. Also, top of that he was conveniently harassing my roomy at the similar time, but wasn't aware we lived at the same residence. We could of def started to create some evidence if that dude stuck around.

 

Would be easy. I saw a nice setup where it was built into the front emblem. I can help if needed.

 

Can it route to the OEM screen display, or would it need an external display of some fashion?

 

I've seen it routed the the OEM screen in a 3rd gen..... my aftermarket screen has inputs for 2 screens (front and rear)

 

That would be cool if possible. I just don't know the potential of the OEM display for the second gens, I think the 3rd gen ones are more modular in terms of electrical capabilities.

 

Is anybody headed to Mobtown in the near future?

 

Not me, but if you post in the Maryland thread in the NE section, you could probably find someone. If they can get it to Waldorf/La Plata area, I can bring it into VA.

 

I received my Demello bumper. I got it all unwrapped and inspected. There is a rough spot on the driver side fenderwell end and a few scuffs/nicks in the PC here/there, but overall it made it made the journey well. The worse of the PC issues is on the inside where the mounting brackets/bolts were stuffed. They were wrapped in plastic but after 3000 miles of travel they wore through the PC. I don't have to worry about rust because I got aluminum. I'll knock down the rough spots with a file or some sandpaper and hit it with some spray on bedliner to touch up the PC.

All things considered, I would say it turned out pretty well. That's some baller shit going aluminum!

 

smart decision going aluminum.... he's a 4cyl

 

Got no complaints...just baller to afford one.

 

I need to take something up there and drop it off for some body I'll just meet him half way

 

Yeah. I'm really happy with it. With the distance it had to travel, I expected a few nicks/scratches, so I'm not disappointed. I called up Demello after inspecting everything because the mounting brackets are labelled Tacoma 12-14, and I wanted to make sure I didn't get the wrong ones on accident. They told me that they're all the same, so I'm good to go. While I was on the phone with them, I mentioned the PC wear from the mounting hardware because that's something that could have been avoided, and hopefully, they'll take steps to correct it in the future.

Yep. Exactly why I went with aluminum. I didn't want to be hauling around a heavy AF steel bumper. Also, I'm not doing crazy rock crawler shit in my Prerunner where I need a steel bumper.

Gotta shop the sales, brother. I ordered during their Father's Day Sale, so it was 20% off and FREE shipping. The free shipping was like getting another 15% discount.

 

Agreed man, I know another cat who snuck in on that deal. Def a good one to go for. Shit my bumper is just slightly cheaper than what you paid.

 

I could probably help you with this. I've got my gen 3 set up with a front camera and slots for three more cameras. I'm going to install one in the passenger side mirror and one under the truck. I'm sure your display can handle more than one input if we figure out the wiring. My set up cost about $100 all said and done.

 

Yea man I would def be game for checking it out and trying to understand what all you did to achieve that. Would be great for an approach angle camera.

 

I'm about to walk out of the office now and I'll be traveling all week starting tonight. I'll do a little research on gen 2 displays and I'll send you some information on what materials I used. I'll put together a list of what you might need and you can decide if it's something you want to do. Then if you provide the beer I'll help you install it.

 

Yea man beer is the easy part haha! Sounds good man, looking forward to seeing what you can come up with!

 

I might be interested in that, i can certainly pay in beer. I currently have an after market headunit.
