For Stock Rigs Only

...dash camera. For dipshit drivers/accidents.
Ive been a witness to a bunch, for some reason. But the most common are ‘their blinker wasnt on’ and ‘my light was green’. I’m doing a dash cam for CYA because people are generally liars.

 

I've been looking at this one.....along with the optional parking power cable.

I looked at that a while back. I believe there's a adapter where you can plug right into the rearview mirror.

$33 Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (12-pin for '15-'23 Toyota Tacoma. Also Compatible with Select Sienna, Honda, and More), Connects to Rearview Mirror, Built-in USB Power Source, Easy to Install

Unfortunately mine doesn't have the auto dimming mirror. So my choice is to either hard wire it to an ignition source or wire in a 12v male plug and use one of the 12v ports.

There's an optional parking wire harnesses that ties into a constant power source. That way when the vehicle is running the camera will too. But when you shut off the truck the camera automatically goes into motion activated mode

 

Ratz!

Ive read those adapter plugs can screw the ecu up or flake the elctronics out I guess, wasnt gonna find out if my truck was one of em.

 

Interesting distinction within the 2.5 gens. Amazing where Toyota found to save a couple bucks on these trucks

 

I've got an auto dimming mirror sitting on my dresser I was going to retrofit into my 09 white truck (rip.) since it had a backup camera but nowhere to display it. Should probably get around to selling that thing sometime...

 

I recently dropped my tank and well. My fuel gauge was all over the place for a week then it just stopped working. While I was in there, might as well replace the pump.

 

Replaced my Michelin LTX M/2's with some Continental Terrian contacts A/T's. Really happy with them, nice and smooth and quiet on the highway. I went up one size from stock, 265/75/16. Still rocking all stock suspension.

 

Looks great. That one size up makes a big difference. That's the size I run on my snow tires. My DD tires are +1 as well...265/70/17

 

It really does make a difference, are you running your snow tires on steel wheels?

 

Yes sir.

 

I have this one. I'll try to remember to take some pictures and pull a sample driving video for you this week. I like that I forget it is there, hides completely behind my rearview mirror being so small. I don't have a powered mirror either so I ran their parking mode kit in the headliner and down the a pillar to power.

 

Hi @BassAckwards, I see you

 

Evening buddy, been trying to catch up, this thread is moving!

 

It almost always is. I have to check it every day just to keep from spending too much time catching up. How's your "stock" truck doing?

 

Mornin Critter, odd callin me Bill but I'll take it! Definitely been called worse things...

 

Speaking of morning, I'm going to sleep! See y'all in a few hours... too soon
