    Ah, I wish they made actual mounts for 36. Seems like screwing it in to the crash bar is the only way

    second that. I have mounted a front camera and want to wire it to a selector switch using the "anytime mod" concept from CROMs post back in Sept of 2011. The power side looks pretty easy but I can't find anything about the signal connections. Where is the video feed input wire to the HU?

    This por15 frame project has been work. The product is great. The applicator, aka me, is what is holding this project back. It's not a show truck but there are just so many spots I couldn't get to. Here are the progress pics after 1 coat. 1 coat then a top coat to make me feel better about myself.

    This would be great for a frame off project or parts you can take out. Would I do this again? No. It just puts makeup on a pig in my opinion. The spots I couldn't get or didnt get good enough will still rust away unfortunately.

    A thing or two...
    The video feed and HU trigger use the backup camera connections. You need a video switcher that will feed the correct signal to the HU based on the trigger that it sees. Here's an example of what you're looking for that will support 4 cameras. https://tailgatecamera.com/collections/backup-camera/products/intelligent-4-camera-switcher

    Hit the entire frame with fluid film or something and those rust spots won’t grow too much.

    I've been fighting a vibration at takeoff after my lift. I wanted to just get a double cardan driveshaft and not mess with shims by couldn't justify the cost. Went playing in the rocks yesterday and now I have justification...

    Spark plugs, cleaned MAF and TB. Then general clean up under hood.
    The cleanliness of this truck still amazes me. 161,500 miles.


    Then I cleaned my girlfriends 100 series MAF/TB and engine bay. 215k miles.

    Today has been a good day.

    Installed ditch lights this weekend. I don't go off-roading. I did it because they look cool. Using inexpensive lights for now, but plan to upgrade when/if condensation sets in.

    Holy Molly, Replaced shift knob with a TRD one and I got 10 more HP :) Took a trip after all the maint I did and under almost identical everything got 21.1mpg as before was 19.4mpg.

    Been busy this weekend doing mods on the camper and getting it ready.

    Got to find time to get those front 5100’s installed. There in the living room. And wire up those ditch lights. I decided to put the switch in center as a zombie light switch from CH4x4.

    Finally got my @salex Vehicle OCD center console organizer installed. Trimmed ~2” cause I didn’t love how tall the cubbies were. The messy console drove me nuts. Not any more!


    Also love the glovebox organizer

    Cleaned my shifter assy.
    Ran the wires for my CH4x4 switches.

    Found this when I removed a bolt, PO had a XM radio in the car and this is how they grounded it (removed the XM the same week I bought the truck but didn't see this).

    Cut my hand when routing the wires under the dash, not sure on what but it won't stop bleeding so I had to call it a day :mad:

    Scored today! Got a bed mat for free 8E111817-FE5E-42DF-838F-20AA9E08638F.jpg

    My daily kijiji checking had been paying off, 3 weeks ago it was a tri fold and today the bed mat both free and both local.
