Nice! Wish SSO would make both @RallySOP (Tom) and myself one with a 2" receiver tube. We'd both drop a on one in a heartbeat! Hint, hint, SSO Off Road.

Turned the heat up full blast. Does that count for doing something? Real feel temp was -18 this morning. Tomorrow I heard around-30. Good Christ that’s cold!

Installed the Germes Lab / Car Solutions module for anytime front and rear camera. Bought the Natika camera off of Amazon. Installed this on a 2020 grill and couldn't quite get it center due to the tabs on the emblem (this bothers my OCD a bit). None of the shims were used as it was already pointed low enough on the grill. But I'm really happy with how easy and functional this mod is!

Just in case you haven’t noticed, your rear camera isn’t centered either. I found Longitudinal symmetry in the cameras “balancing” each other out. At least that’s what I told my OCD.

Got looms made up. Got all my wiring ran, but not landed. Lots of breaks for weather and cursing.

No pics cause it got dark on me, but I mounted an old iPad using a hondo mount, and I set up a wireless lan network with 2tb of storage using a cheap Chinese flash drive and an old WiFi disk I got on eBay. Hoping I can use my phone’s hotspot feature to do some cool WiFi passthrough stuff.

2018 Tacoma Off Road Cement Grey

I have had it since feb 2018 and last month got a check engine light at 35,000 miles (P11EE00) they sent off my cylinder head and they recommended a new one(under warranty) and they also replaced oil pan and timing cover for some reason. got my truck back and now there is a strange sound coming from my dash that sounds like a vacuum leak or screech when I get to 3,500 - 4,000 rpms going 40-50mpg so ill have to take it back.

Last year we had a terrible sand storm (Coachella valley) and I drove very slowly through it but still caused a bunch of damage. I had to have the windshield replaced, all front black plastics looked sandblasted so they painted them, front emblem and grill were all replaced, both healights, front black bumper, and lastly, the right side mirror housing was replaced almost everything in the front right of my truck looked light someone sandblasted it.

Now for the good, I installed a dashcam (apeman C860 great unit but the brand is trash-talked within the dashcam community) with that awesome adapter on Amazon (simpleUSB mirror to dashcam power) that uses the mirror power to power a usb dash cam, then ran the rear dash cam under the trim in under 5 mins which was insanely easy to do.

Installed front facing cam under lic plate

Installed a new head unit (pioneer W8400nex) which was easy and way better than stock, along with all new speakers ( the ones everyone recommends here) and now music actually sounds good.

Installed always 400w mod for power inverter and added a plug inside the center console.

Replaced all interior lights with leds as well as reverse lights.

Added raised black letters for tailgate.

Order some meso chrome delete for all the interiror

Any feedback as to what caused the bad cylinder head? Just one?

Thanks

Here are my first mods, liking what I've done so far. Looking to do LEDs all the way around soon.

Cleats, Bed Mat, Shifter, Exhaust tip and Kicker speakers.

I bought the vent ring kit from Meso but didn't have time to install. How long did it take you?

Finished up the install on my wireless crux box for AV function. The wireless model comes with a wired plug in to so I made some holes in my glove box for an HDMI pickup and USB power so I can run a SNES classic mini in the truck.

Managed to find the Crux WVITY-01 on Amazon for 60$ so couldn’t say no, just needed a 20$ HDMI to rca converter to finish the build, took a couple weeks to source everything but I got it done.

Mounted the two boxes behind the leather panel on top of the glove box, there’s a significant void there and a little bracket with a mounting point so I fabricated a little aluminium bracket up super quick and dirty, will never be seen so it’s good enough.

Final product of the glove box, switch is for the crux box to toggle between wireless and wired video inputs. Not much space behind the glove box for all this but I managed to squeeze it all in there. Mounting everything into the ceiling of the glovebox woulda been an easier option but I wasn’t into it, prefer the ports on the side.

SNES games look pretty good on the trucks head unit.
