Official Tennessee Thread

Dave make you jealous?

 

I just sold my DCSB 6 speed. It was awesome and will be missed.

 

A little. I just need something bigger than 33’s but not sure I’m ready for the commitment of 37’s.

I just ordered gears and 35’s. Should have tires next week and gears in a few weeks. I’m pretty sure I’ll clear them without swapping uppers, but I’m sure I’ll find out differently once they’re on and I take it wheeling.

 

Hey yall, Sgt. Taco here... I started with TW back when I lived in the Phx. area and then moved to ABQ. I was always super active with the pages. I had a 2007 TRD OR that was decently built but my wife rolled it back in 2014 and since not been actively on here. Well- im heading to New Mexico to pick up a truck that my friend is selling. I'll post up info about it once I have it for sure and back in Tennessee. But, can you say boosted!

 

MERICA, FUK YEAH!!
Filled truck and lawn mower for under $6.
(using kroger points)

 

If one of you has the old style TRD cold air intake or the AFE Magnum cai (same as trd basically) on 2nd gen V6, i have a prefilter sleeve you can have. Nearly new, been in a box in garage close to 2 years now.
I forget dimensions for what other cone filters it might fit.

 

I may be interested in that offer. I just bought new ball joints for them but haven't installed yet. Which ones you got? What kind of shape are they in? As @Newlife knows I am slow to make decisions sometimes, (then go buy flooded FJs on a whim, idk). But I am interested!

 

He’s talking about UCAs not lcas

 

Yeah I know. Lol, I have the LCAs, figure if I am taking the front end apart, might as well explore my options.

 

They’re icon tubular upper control arms for a 2010+ 4runner. 30k miles on them but I don’t see any indication of play in them. I lube them monthly at least. Normally bi-weekly.

 

Does anyone in the memphis area run an air on board switch, dd ss3 fogs, or a car solutions anytime camera mod? I'm having some issues, and was kinda hoping I could troubleshoot the issues with someone locally, so I can confirm if I have a hardware problem, wiring problem, or something else.

 

Tell us what's happening and a panel of experts will weigh in.

 

First off, the switch:

I picked up a switch from AOB and the diagram they included is confounding me. I would assume on an 18, that I'm switched negatively and should use the bottom layout. That said, black is chassis ground. Does green go to ECU 26, and which is green/beige illumination? I know these trucks tend not to tolerate reversed polarity well.




Next is the Fogs:
I'm usure of the polarity of the engine bay harness. I'm connecting dd ss3 pros to the factory harness using the supplied adapters. The adapters have a positive and negative terminal marked, but will attach to the factory harness in either orientation. I'm trying to make sure I use the correct polarity when hooking them up. And speaking of harnesses, my harness on the inside of my engine bay seems to have overspray on the terminals where the fogs harness attaches. Any ideas on how to remove it before I let the body shop take a swing? They seem to break more shit than they fix.



Last is the Car Solutions Anytime Camera mod:
So I hooked everything up today, and I lost camera functionality all together. The radio works, but when I put the car in reverse nothing happens, nor does anything happen when switching into drive. I even tried manually engaging the camera from the steering wheel, and nothing. I put everything back to stock, and it works just fine.

Details on my setup:
I'm using the square natika 720p camera with the black and red power unused, and the trigger from the red D/C connector soldered to the red trigger from the yellow video wire at the camera end. White wire has been cut, and ends have been separated as to not cause a short. On the other end, I used the supplied connector to connect the red trigger from the yellow video wire to the 12+ out from the CS harness. The red wire seemed super small for the connector, so I doubled it on itself, twisted it shut, shoved it in, and then crimped the connector. After a tug, it didn't give any slack, so I assume it's a solid connection. My truck is an SR, so only the two larger connectors of the CS harness were used. I don't have a connection for the small connector.



Does anyone have any insight wherein lies the issue? I'm assuming it's a controller problem due to no camera functionality, front or rear, but that's just my best guess.

Any help on any of these issues would be much appreciated.

 

I can only speak on the ss3’s as that is what I’m running on my 4runner... they’ll only come on one way. So hook them up and see if they come on. If not, flip the plug. It ain’t gonna hurt them to hook them up backwards for a second.

 

As many issues as I'm having elsewhere, I was trying to eliminate possible troubleshooting steps if they don't turn on when I finally get them hooked up

 

Are you wiring lights on fresh lines you ran or are you trying to use factory wiring from oem fog lights?

 

I have an SR, so I'm adding the factory fog harness to run the fogs with

 

If you only want fogs to work with highbeam headlights, thats what the diagram does. I think. Most people want ability to turn on lights anytime.
My instructions allow lights anytime independant of headlights and sort of follow diagram 1. Try if you are ok with that.

Someone double check me here.

* run 12V+ with 10 or 15 amp inline fuse to relay pin 30.
* run 12V+ with 3amp inline fuse to red switch wire. From battery will make lights work regardless of key position. If you use an add-a-fuse to tap a switched source in cab fuse box like stereo maybe, that provides switched power so lights will only work if key is turned to ACC or on. Your choice.
* run Green switch wire to relay pin 86.
* Disconnect and tape over blue wire on switch. That just makes the switch light up with dash lights. Deal with that later once lights work.
* Ground switch black wire.
* Ground the relay pin 85.
* run line from relay (pin 87) to + on light.
* Ground light to chassis ground.

Switch should light up in on position.

If you have extra harnesses or wires doing connections other than what i described, then it's trying to link fog operation to headlights. Up to you if that's what you want.

Edit: If that factory fog harness is preexisting in truck, I don't know how it is wired. @dirty deeds did you add fogs on your SR?

 

Idk that I can follow all of that. I was hoping there was a way to make this switch work with nitoris fog light method. But thank you for providing options

 

Yeah, I had another thought and put an edit at bottom of the post.
