    IMO, 8 gauge would seem adequate enough to handle the current draw that the compressor has. I don't think 15-20' of wire would cause much if any voltage drop.

    Yea it's probably fine. I plugged all the data into a calculator online and it claimed I would see an 11% drop in voltage with my setup.

    The length of wire the way I ran it actually came out to 24 ft, which is kinda long.
    8 gauge OFC
    Compressor is rated to 45 amps.

    I ran it for a few minutes yesterday and didn't notice any of the wiring getting warm, which is a good sign.

    For the dome light I'm using this: https://www.amazon.com/LUYED-Lumens-Extremely-Bright-Chipsets/dp/B07JRH8916 at least until the new Meso dome light is available.

    For the map light I'm using this: https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Interior-Lighting-License-Contains/dp/B01A77TXNK
    Same Meso wait.

    It's pretty beastly. It's ever so slightly slower than the dual arb but very close. I do know of another compressor on the market though that trumps both of those and is rated to 90 amps!

    Haven't tried it yet but you may get the same harness adapter if you were ordering speakers for your Camry

    Local place in Puerto Rico, did not come with instructions but I used a youtube video for a Bakflip model... almost the same. The company has a website, but very basic. Still trying to figure out if it’s a rebranded product, but they offer a three year warranty and reviews from locals were great.

    Nothing fancy.
    Disconnected the battery, dry cleaned, wet cleaned, dry cleaned, replaced battery.

    here’s a pretty straightforward and well known method:

    I'm with you. Love my Sunday afternoon races. Almost bought tickets for the Atlanta race that was scheduled for today but held off because I had a feeling they wouldn't race. Buddy got free pit passes and isnt happy about the cancellation.

    Thanks. Kind of looks like a Bakflip.

    Spent the day with my dad for his 77th birthday. He also is a die hard Toyota fan. Lost count how many he has owned. He has a t100 with 400k that the transmission just went out in. I got a picture out front of his 96 taco with 300k. IMG_20200315_112227578_HDR.jpg IMG_20200315_112244750_HDR~2.jpg

    The cats like to steal them from the kids, then play with them in the basement... I find them everywhere.

    In other mildy tacoma news, I got a kayak for free today... Thought it was blue, ended up being orange to match the tacoma.

    Going to make some bed bars so it fits in the bed with the tailgate closed.

    I bought this rack system from a fellow Tacomaworld member just recently that I think would work for you.
