DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Yea... only reason the switch got installed for the locker in my truck was A. i had a shady parking spot B. the power went out in the neighborhood, so it was inside with no AC or outside with no AC

 

Yeah but i need it to work with my switch-pros...

 

can they do momentary double pole double throw switching?

 

Yeah i would have been outside also.

 

Won't lie...

 

not 100% sure this is the one you have but if it is then switch #8 might work... i will take pics of my wiring tonight see if we can reverse engineer it and make it work with yours.

 

Ive been thinking of getting this set up, any one have any opinions on it?

Looks fine but what's the reason you wouldn't just wire relays yourself. Also I think apps is only 100$ more. I think

 

Not sure... I think they do momentary, or typically like a sp/st, but i dont think they support a DP/DT switching.

 

Nah the app is free, I dont really have any reason for not wiring relays really just thought having the app would be convenient. If theirs something better do tell!

 

@Zac of all trades @ETXTacoma
Having done the rear axle swap with @rpkole I would say it's not a job you want to do twice. It could be done with Jack stands, we used one lift and one truck on stands and that was not so fun.

Some lessons learned:
Make sure you have all the proper tools before you start and that your brake lines are ready to come off. This includes brake fluid.

Have a parts truck on standby, we used a golf cart to go get brake fluid.

Make sure you have proper implements for moving the axles around. An axle with brakes installed is not light. We used a pallet jack but that barely worked for getting it high enough.

Take pictures before you take stuff apart in case you have trouble putting it back together.

It's not hard, just a lengthy process.

 

I wish I had the room for one, but I don't.

Ehhhh feel like we would hate ourselves if we attempted it using just jack stands...

Hahahaha

This is true right here, I am still about 2-3 weeks out on the Dynatrac rear shipping.

Or like my woman in a Hello Kitty Store... it is ridiculous and she is not even Japanese.

Like you would not be invited and compensated for your supervisory skills in this project....

But you will get my OEM dash switch as well for the locker.... would make that shit look factory!

 

Haha my bad I mean switch pro or spod not apps. What your looking at will be perfectly fine just didn't know if you wanted that just because of ease of install

 

I think mainly I just dont want a bunch of clutter in my cab im looking at getting the bully dog programmer too and they have a giant ass controller that most people ive seen use a suction cup mount that goes on the windshield. I like the spod with the touch screen but I think 750 bucks is a little much for something that just controls my lights and what ever else. Im always open to suggestions though!

 

You could just use OEM style push buttons (CH4x4 or Air On Board brand) in place of the factory blanks. You have a Prerunner so you should have a few. I have a SR5 4x4 and added ditch lights, backup lights and rock lights and filled all the blanks left of the steering wheel. I have 3 more in the center for Front/Rear lockers and 1 more for either Winch power or Air Compressor. Not sure I'll need more, but then it'd be time to look at the Switch Pros or sPod.

 

Oh yeah I plan on filling those up the rest of the way ive already got one in there for my light bar thats back in my front bumper. I was actually planing on putting the controller back in the cubby on either side of the bed since its supposed to be water proof.

 

You could also try the ghetto switch pros that @Tundra2Play and I saw at the auto parts store the other day. $29.99!
