What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Wheelers super bumps are awesome! If you message them through TW you will get a little discount too. I just put mine on about a month ago and I’m very impressed.

 

I think the harness is included more often than not, possibly so that dealers can avoid lot accidents. My base model came prewired which surprised me but it did come with a convenience package so maybe that explains it. When I test drove it I thought it had the camera but when I picked it up it didn't. One of the more simple yet worthwhile mods. That and intermittent wipers are no brainers.

 

Yep, as others said it’s got some tubing (2 90 degree bends and a flex pipe) that runs behind the fender, the safari runs outside the fender further and then goes right to the intake

 

Finally got this pain in the ass done, next weekend I’ll work on the fenders

 

My retrofit doesn’t have the parking lines either using an oem ‘11 camera. The lines are generated by the camera, not the radio. You’d have to use an oem camera from a newer truck.

 

Why aren't the leaf packs arched

 

Probably saggy ol stock ones.

 

I didn’t buy a camera yet. I just became aware of the prewiring today. This seems popular on TW.

 

Did you install the the camera? One thing I didn’t think of originally was software compatibility.

 

Starting the process of making my own tailgate skin and cap!

 

The part number I used is from a 2012'ish model. If I get a newer part number I would have to change the harness in my tailgate to the 6-pin one.

 

Wash, compound, wax, polish, tire dressing, trim dressing

I love truck cleaning day

 

Installed the bass knob for my JL Audio ACP110LG-TW1, which fits perfectly behind my seat on the floor. Since no one is ever gonna sit there anyway, took out the floor mat and seat as it renders the cubby useless if I had left it in.

 

Just noticed that the wire was plugged into the blank. Didn't see that before.

 

Wash day!

 

“The blank?” I don’t understand

 

What fog lights do you have

 

The piece of plastic that the wire plugs into if you don't have the camera.

 

Yes, there isn't really any software issue, it's just a digital video feed. I bought mine from camerasource.com because it came with the correct plug to match the one under the frame behind the tailgate. All I had to do was open the tailgate skin, feed the wire around, screw the mount to the latch, and screw it back together. Then reach underneath and plug it together. The camera comes on in reverse just like it's supposed to. I've since added the anytime mod and a front camera and those both work just fine with my stock base entune head unit.

 

The camera I bought from camerasource generates the side lines, there's a loop of white wire in the harness you can cut to disable them though I suppose you could connect the cut ends through a switch to have the choice. I kept it intact since I find the lines useful in determinig wheel to curb distance.
