A 2nd Gen Resto(ish)/Build(ish)/BS(ish) thread..Taken over by another Tundra, and a Tacoma is back

Got this all together this morning, very stable. I’m probably going to switch to a shorter arm so the iPad tucks a little tighter into the dash, and swap the end caps on the mount for smaller ones. Overall the concept is very sound, and I like it though.

 

Morning Kent! Love that mount you added

 

Thanks man, I’m hoping I get to use Gaia on a run here real soon!

And good morning!

 

Id really like to add some kind mount for my phone. I always use GPS on it but dont have anywhere to put it that makes it easy to see

Have a great friday buddy

 

You too man!

 

Good Morning Kent

 

Good morning Maner, well it’s morning after too many light blondes last night anyway

 

Howdy Kent
Yall cook and drink yesterday

 

No cooking, but plenty of drinking lol. A old friend of mine played at river road ice house last night, so we got a group of long lost friends together to surprise the singer.... we got a touch out of hand.

 

Good Morning Kent

 

Morning Maner!

 

How will you be wiring the mirror up? Been trying to figure that out. Got the same mirror myself

 

Simple chassis ground on one leg, the other I already wired up my CH4x4 switch to a relay and have the wires behind the dash for the positive leg. I’m thinking they won’t draw more than 20 amps but couldn’t find any hard data. Without a timer I will have to make sure to turn them off after 20 min or so, but I am ok with that.

 

Welcome to TW by the way!

 

Thanks.im not very electrical savvy if I’m being honest but I figure the wiring scheme has the be the same as my ditch light.

 

Should be the same as long as you used a fused source and powered it through a relay. You definitely don’t want to run the load of the heater through the contacts of the switch.

Something like this but obviously mirrors instead of lights. The colors may be off depending on your switch but everything else would be the way to go.

 

Hey man, I’ve been wanting to ask how you replaced the steering wheel emblem. My emblem has chrome paint that is chipping so I wanted to take it off and give it a new coat either matte black or shiny gold like on the older Toyota’s with gold emblems

 

I took the steering wheel apart and drilled the rivets out of the airbag to get to the back side. It would be hard to put the factory emblem back in, but if you are careful how you cut it out, you could superglue it back in.

 

Thanks man. You know how to wrap in para cord? Kinda want to wrap my oldie steering wheel since the rubber or whatever tf it’s made of is chipping and sticky from the heat.
