    Forgive me for the music in the video below (it's all I had to work with at the time) but here's the gist of it: the interface harness plugs into the back of radio with a pin inserted into the main harness to let the radio know when it's in reverse. The harness interrupts the video signal at the A-pillar connector and sends it to the radio instead of the mirror. Quick and easy - all plug-and-play.

    I did a leaf upgrade to OME springs last fall but have been thinking recently that having additional support (thinking I should have gone for the bigger, 600lb constant load leafs) would be a good thing. Would these be a good way to go about that without replacing the leafs again?

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Rudy, this mod is done to eliminate the foam filter that is originally installed from Toyota. Over time, the foam filter becomes hard and begins to break apart failing into the impeller of the secondary air pump causing damage to air pump.

    Here’s a link to a thread on secondary air pump issues;

    Carried a load of demo'd fake rock to the dump today and put 60lbs in the ride rites (normally ~30lbs with cap and tools loaded. Nice smooth ride and didnt feel overloaded or mushy. Driving home there's some sharp steep turns where it slipped more than usual due to lack of flex in the rear. I'll be even happier with the set up when it's all push this/turn that/check a guage all from the drivers seat/done. Lift bag install is the simple part.

    Npe I should have asked the guy if i could. Like I said not really my cup of tea but I have to hand it to him he did a good job with it. All black with a lightbar across the roof. How he reworked his fenders after cutting I would have never known if he didn't tell me. I can always appreciate good work even if the vehicle isn't my personal thing.

    There used to be harnesses you could by off eBay to do it. Plug n play. Probably still on there.

    Edit: you lose the lines though, they are part of the rear view display itself, not the camera.

    I would contact them. They make custom lengths as well for lifted applications along with different densities for hauling needs. My rear is at stock height so their off the shelf application worked for me.

    Since I've only owned it for 24 hours. . . Ordered WeatherTech floor mats, converted 17 gallons for gas to carbon monoxide, and picked up a new antenna for the AM/FM radio.

    I'm having a hard time finding the connector on your website. What is the part number, or what should I search for? Basically we probably all want to know, how much is it??
