Northern Virginia Roll Call

they vibrate a bit when driving. I can see them moving when I am driving. I havent driven with the lights on though..

 

I am thinking of selling the Toytec ULK front coilovers and buying Icon to match the rear shocks.

Besides, being 100% honest with you, I'm not happy with the coating... I'll show you in person.

Lol no sir.

Although Karen is trying to convince me to buy a Prius when I sell the Miata

And what's worse... I'm seriously considering it. 60 mpg is hard to argue with. (Naturally I'll have Karen make me a bunch of Prius hating decals lol)

 

Yeah I think the hardware for the actual light and mount could be better cus the bracket is stout. Pretty sure we have the same bracket. I might try to find some better hardware that fits and is less shiny. But we will see how this works for now and if it bothers me.

 

I got my bed stiffeners installed!!!

 

Here is what would happen with your design.
1) You put the truck in reverse and no picture shows on the display.
2) You push the button while in drive and no picture shows on the display.
3) You push the button while in reverse and it will show the forward camera.

If that's what you want to happen, then yes it works.
It is possible to use a two pole relay and a single button but I wanted the option of turning on my rear camera while in drive. That's why I went with two switches.

 

Were you able to get all of the bolts in without modifying the brackets?

Mine didn't move around at all hauling ass up/down Flagpole with @Coot83 and @misdirection1982. I don't notice any movement when I'm DD'ing the truck either. Is any of your mounting hardware loose?

 

not sure. I will have to look. It doesnt bother me though

 

@boogie3478 here is why....

Picture 1: there is bubbling in the powder coat already

Picture 2 and 3:
I feel like it scratches way too easily (I literally barely touched it with the shovel for these scratches)

 

Def interesting...Im sure it will sell quick though.

 

yea man.... I can mount all my stuff in the bed for now.... I'm not sure what I'm going to do w/ the money.... part of me says buy Icon coilovers... part of me says buy a cap on CL

 

That is incorrect sir. Using my wiring, while the relay was energized, the display would be on with front camera video. No matter what the shifter was doing. While not energized, the display would act normally, meaning reverse camera while in reverse. I do low voltage electronics for a living and basically get paid for relay logic design. I promise it would work. If i labeled something half-assed on my diagram, i apologize. Id gladly explain it better if necessary.

 

I would assume that decision would be determined if there is availability to a cap in your color on CL.

 

lol, why didnt you paint them outside of mounting them on your truck??

 

but you cant mount the recovery boards

 

yea I'm not sure what I'll do honestly... I'm sure it'll be something fun. haha

I did.... I just hit them again with a light coat when I mounted them up...

 

hahahaha youre right...

I was thinking I can make a bracket that mounts them to the roof rack

 

Also, if you switched from a 2 pole in my design to a 3 pole, it would be possible to use a 3-position, 2-pole switch so as to maintain factory function as well as be able to use either camera at any time. I like your idea there. Ill work up a new wiring schematic.

 

Have you contacted Voodoo about the coating issue?

 

I'm sure there's an inside joke I'm missing, but just mount them on a rack on top of the cap or build a mount for inside. I'm building a rail mount for my TredPro boards.

 

inside joke.. he got all the mounting materials to mount it horizontally on his 3rd gen in the front of the bed, by the cab. But when we went to test fit, there was no space in front of the wheel wells (like in a long bed)
