Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Theres a pretty big difference between the first and second/third gen tundras

 

I’m about to order some 37X12.50x17
Someone talk me out of it.
Or words of encouragement

 

Not necessary.

1 less of the 10 to fill

 

Take one for group and do it and then tell us how it fits and how much more truck needs to be chopped. I will try to go with 37's once these 35's wear out.

 

Hmm, like a PTT switch? I never even considered that before. Always assumed id be using the standard wired mic to the mobile unit.


Will need to look into this idea!

 

I’m not worried about cutting. I’m more worried about the steering rack shitting the bed.

 

I've already snaked wiring for my microphone and dash cam up the pillar and over to the mirror; I didn't pull the headliner down to do it, and would probably be able to run these wires the same way.
What center console do you have?

I've already filled the lower left section by adding two light switches:



I've considered adding the two ARB switches to the outer edges of the tray shown above, and may still do it.


I had these two blanks on the left:

...and thought they'd go down there, but Don reminded me of why this might be a bad idea. I do have a dual-USB (power-only) unit to go into the right blank.



I do have two sunglass holders, but they're the '12+ model that presses to release, so I guess I'm concerned about flush mounting the switch panel there, and having the whole door release and pivot down when I press a switch.

 

Marlin crawlers new Mar-Rack an option?

Expensive but seems like a good idea.

 

I’m from Visalia lol

 

True. Wasn't bigmike working on the new steering rack and LT suspension?

 

I like that this is modular, and I could add just the two I need now, and the rest later (after cutting the hole bigger) when I need to add more switches.
Plus, it's Prime, and I could have it in time to install this weekend.

super quick setup. toss your bag in, sleep.
used once in Bodega bay by my daughter

 

I was actually just looking at that one. It's an option. Saved it my Amazon cart for the time being.

 

I also have these little guys to find homes for...

 

Tell me more.

 

I went in there and explained what i was trying to do and what my setup was. Had my water setup, toilet etc....
The guy looked at the truck, never even opened it up and switched the classification from commercial to passenger or whatever

 

All this lightbar talk and I’m being blinded by this asshole this morning.

 

I've got the Iggy one. Currently disassembled but looks kinda like this when truck is cleaned (which is never...)

Ahhh yes. That's a nice spot, but I use that cubby.
I believe I'm going to use one of my sunglass holders up top,
