What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@Tullie D You're unbelievably helpful. Thank you very much!!!

 

Borrego Springs, CA

 

Today I installed my Mobius ActionCam and V1 radar detector.
V1 was mounted with a Blend Mount

$125 BV1-2001R BlendMount Aluminum Radar Detector Mirror Mount for Valentine One - Compatible with Most American and Asian Vehicles - Made in USA - Looks Factory Installed, BV1-2001R

BV1-2001R that I had lying around in the garage, and power was taken from behind my RV mirror with my home made mirror tap.
The Mobius was hardwired, wires of course tucked under the headliner and down the A-pillar to the under dash fuse box.
Power was taken from the P1 fuse using an add-a-tap. Everything goes on and off with the ignition.

 

Sweet. Is that a modified Go Pro apparatus that attaches to the Go Pro mount? I've been trying to figure that out myself.

An adapter I got from Amazon.

Thanks, I was more referring to what actually clips into the windshield socket, but that helps!

 

Not much on the Tacoma this weekend, but in a semi-related effort I did get Momma's Land Cruiser new Rotors, Pads and a Brake Flush. By the way, my QuickJack is awesome This was the last (and by far largest) vehicle in the fleet to try it out on.


P.S. A little birdy told me too that I can use the Tundra OVTune for Momma's LC Now she thinks I've completely lost my mind

 

Any wood turners in your area? You could have a pretty bowl/platter/hollow vessel turned out of that stump.

 

Did a huge modification today

 

Dang it! I quoted before I read further. Great minds, I guess . . .

 

Going to be a lot easier to find! LOL

 

Yeah, agree. It actually looks pretty decent for so many lights. Just wanted to poke the fact that it’s a lot, mainly because they are individual and not a light bar though.

 

I have always wanted a quick jack. Are they really as good as advertised? Any pictures of you using it on your Tacoma?

 

I did not take a video when I did the brakes on the Tacoma, but I do have one with my car - much lighter of course, but I could post it if you cared. Later this spring I plan to hit the Diffs, Transfer, and M/T on the Tacoma and maybe I can grab a quick video then.

To me the lift is as advertised and worth the investment. Jacking up and getting the Tacoma on Jack Stands is exhausting all by itself, not to mention a little sketchy. The QuickJack gets all 4 tires off the ground and mechanically locks very sturdy, safe, and level. Which makes the brake flush really easy. The only issue that I had was one of the two lift units had a little damage to the hinge in shipping and at first is went up and down a little rough. Now that I've used it a few times (maybe 10), its pretty dog on smooth. I've used it now with a BMW 128, BMW 440, Nissan Xterra, Toyota Tacoma, and Toyota Land Cruiser without a lick of trouble. I did buy the SUV/Truck Adapters and the BL-7000SLX model. I think I got them online through Costco if I remember right.

 

It is a lot of light. And I do a lot of backroad, night time commuting. I work the graveyard shift and too many people have smacked either a deer or a pronghorn out here. I wanna see them bastards. Lol.
"Finally" was because I've been sitting on the light bar for weeks. It was finding the mounting brackets for the Tacoma that was a real PITA. But, finally.....lol

 

Here are a couple of pics that I took when I removed the module. Not sure if you can clearly see the factory wires that connected, but hopefully this helps.

 

Did you Plastidip while still on your vehicle or take them off?

 

Almost finished my bussman setup
