    @daveeasa to @caribe makaira and @Puppypunter well done. THIS is one of the reasons I bought a Taco. Huge aftermarket with a huge enthusiast following that have a tremendous knowledgebase.

    This is badass. Well done, I'll be doing this mod.:cheers:

    I believe @Puppypunter is progressing but nothing available at this specific time. I think they will likely be sold through Hotshot so you can bug @memario1214 for updates on timeline :)

    @Puppypunter just wrapped up the first run of another project here (his poor hands), but I would absolutely like to house this one as well!

    Hmmm. Great idea.

    I will just intercept the positive wire going to the plate bulbs and run it through a standard Bosh style relay that is activated by the reverse signal.

    I would recommend to all of you to own a multimeter and know how to use it. With that you can do so much....

    That’s it. Just tie it to the NC contact, and activate the coil with the reverse light. It’s a fairly simple circuit, just making it plug and play is where the costs come in.


    I’ll PM you :)


    The plug and play option will with Meso total tails, no issue

    I’ve ordered from them, no issues. I believe it is a small business run by an ex-pat. Seems like a good guy. Where they and hi1000-ec kill you is in the shipping. Not cheap to get stuff out of Japan right now I guess. I e not checked to see if they have all the parts for this, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did.

    I’m in. I’ll be doing this by October.

    I back in every night at home. It’s light during the summers but once you get into the winters it blows. October is still warm enough to tinker without hating your life and losing a few digits. So hopefully there’s a PNP by then!

    I am doing a very small run of these (like 3 for now), still deciding on a price. The parts aren't cheap, and they are fairly time consuming, but I try to be reasonable.
    @tonered @GarlicFarts @s7726 @kwill @pwgunny @Watkinseli91 @TurdTaco64 @Tacotoast @mdh_us
    ...that list is a lot longer than 3 people.... So don't sweat it, there will be more.
    @daveeasa for the FYI, and @surfdoc81 can provide a review as well. And @MGMSangTaco will be able to as well as soon as I get off my ass and finish his (Sorry man, haven't forgot you, I swear!)

    I’m game to carry the torch once we have a plan for sourcing all the parts at the best pricing to keep costs down. I think the low volume here might suit me and I’m working on improving my crimping in the meantime.

    I figure PP slams the lid on the final design and then I can be the mouse spinning the wheel for a bit.

    Haha! I was meaning to reach out to you soon. No worries man I am slammed with grad school right now anyways, you also already went out of your way to help me with that cam shaft sensor. No rush at all. And that whiskey was damn good too! Thanks again.
