NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Am i doing another solo wheeling trip on Sunday?

 

@msgs350 @Bertw192

 

Already have family stuff planned with the family this weekend.
I'm free next weekend though.

 

bummer....i'll be in cali for work but def get out there!

 

I don't have one in my truck right now.


If I wasn't slightly missing the SWC, I'd probably not bother putting one back in. Trac/VSC all that shit is off at the moment due to not getting a steering angle reading via the spiral cable. Oh and the air bag.

 

China has em for like $21.

 

I figured the trac/check engine may have been from it being 93* when I turned it off and being 50* this morning when I started it. I cleared the light with the battery trick and I drove about 130 miles today since and it’s still happy. The airbag light... would it only effect the passenger side.. asking for a friend of course

 

What's the draw of Gallagher lake, just the easy of access from the Seattle area?

 

Fun low impact of damage trail. Great lake beautiful scenery

 

Can be like I-5 at 4pm on a Friday, from Tacoma dome to Tulalip.

 

It’s a good easy trail for “overlanders” to try to become Instagram famous from

 

Want to go but Walmart sucks at delivering stuff and my TV is supposed to get here Sunday instead of last Friday. Meh.

 

anybody have any tricks to get steering wheel controls working for aftermarket stereos? starting to feel pretty dumb...

 

Some of the times you HAVE to use special wiring harnesses. What radio?

 

Just sticktoyourguns and you’ll get it working.

 

its an atoto A6. the Chinese special

 

should i get any reading on a multimeter when i volume up and down?

Have you watched this? He doesn't say anything useful in the first 1:50, so just continue from the timestamp if you haven't seen it. He's working with a 2006 Tacoma.

 

Is that like the joying Android HU's? When I hooked mine up I remember something about a pink wire and a brown wire. Then train the buttons in the headunit configuration. I didn't use any of that swrc adapter bs, just directly connected.

I drove my work truck home tonight, but can get you a picture of how mines wired up tomorrow.

 

Keep in mind, Toyotas wiring is 99% of the time ground switched. If your checking for power with one test lead at the switch wire, and the other at ground, you'll get a big fat nothing in the multimeter.
