"Tired of same old builds"

Bed rack, RTT, jeep metallic green paint job.,.....

 

That a personal xray?

 

Lol, hell no that ain't me!

 

Is that where the phase "dumb as a bag of hammers" stems from?

 

Some old film saying, apparently.

Anybody ever convert their regular rear view mirror into a power mirror with temp.and compass and auto dim etc?

Which mirror did you use and where.did you get it? What's a fair price? How was the install?

I'd like to do this to my 06 Tundra

 

@BartMaster1234
It’s just 3 wires, constant 12v, acc 12v and ground

My Corolla and Avalon both have ones out of Avalon’s. If you get one from a 2005-2012 avalon you can get the factory kit for said Avalon that’ll have the wire harness for it

 

Whats the consensus on aftermarket repair manuals? Chilton or Haynes?
Edit: I dont even see Chilton making one for our trucks.

 

Try to find an Toyota one. More accurate info

 

You love my sauce.

 

Their like over $100. Dont really "need" one, but my mom wants to start Christmas shopping early and needs some ideas.

 

Cocaine

 

I’ll have One someday, but the rack will go to the top of the cab.

 

No idea, haven’t got that far

 

Like @1stgenyota2014’s but maybe no rack, or bumper, and different taillights

 

You need a manual?

I little bird told me that TW won't host the material (being copyrighted and all), but you can find the Toyota factory service manual for free if you look for it....

 

I think if you did something with round tubing it might look a little cleaner, doesn’t look terrible but I dunno

 

I probably wouldn’t use it a lot, but it’d be nice for coolers or gas cans or something, you could probably make it removable if you put some effort into it

 

I used a Gentex 313 out of a 2012 Nissan Titan. I wanted a rare configuration with with HomeLink, Ambient Temperature, Compass, and Autodim. If you want everything else without HomeLink there are sellers on eBay who make plug-n-play harnesses that come with the mirror for about $100. My mirror was about $175, and another $40 for the OEM Nissan sensor.

I had to buy the temperature sensor brand new from Nissan, and make my own wiring harness. It was five wires. 12vDC, Ground, Reverse Signal, and two wires for the temperature sensor.

 

I want to try and hack apart both the factory mirror and a homelink one and see if I can keep the factory off the glass mount style. No real reason, just want to see if it can be done.
