Recommendations on the best place to mount the SunPass transponder? Is it okay to put it on that tint mesh?

 

I put mine on the passenger side right below the mesh. The rear view mirror blocks most of my view of it.

 

Thanks! I tried it with multiple light settings and auto-start. Nothing. Might just have to be replaced.

 

I did the DSIM module as well. The only problems that I have had were my fault. I had a grounding issue and a couple of the lights occasionally fail due to moisture. They are cheap and it doesn't take long to replace them. I will use silicone on the next one that fails to see if that will extend their life. I installed 8 lights total. 2 in the front bumper area, 2 under the front doors, 2 under the rear doors and 2 under each side of the back bumper. I have replaced 3 of them so far.

 

What I like about the DSIM module is that it is completely reversible, no splicing or modifying factory wiring.

Thanks bud, I'll have to shake your hand thanks at the coffee meet up at Timmy's when is that next month? I should be back in Toronto by then.
I'm pretty sure we've met before at the one a couple years ago.

 

NP.
Most likely have met briefly. If that pick was last spring is was DAMN cold. Hope the 1st meet this spring is not like that.

 

Will I get rub or should I just trim my bumper and be done with it

 

I mounted my ezpass on the passenger side top corner of the window on both my cars. No issues with any ezpass toll or Florida tolls when we were down there for Disney.

 

Jason (@Speed Freek) did my CMC and some other basic maintenance. Can’t say enough good things about his work!

 

Noticed Sunday night I had a busted outer Cv boot and was flinging grease everywhere.

OEM Axles are on backorder I was told anywhere from 4-12 weeks from 3 dealers locally. Wanted to snag OEM to swap out and then also have a spare for the trail but instead ended up getting a sNAPA axle to get me back on the road and picked up the boot kit from the dealer. Waiting on the clamp pliers to show up before rebuilding the stock axle and swapping it back in.

Zip tie in picture was only there to contain grease while removing the axle.

 

Boom

 

Are you a local to Santa Barbara?

 

Yeah bro, Live in Goleta

Reference the cheap light covers:

 

Probably for the best. My front camera stopped working 3 months ago and after extensive diagnosis I have found the front camera to be defective. R4T tried getting them to contact them and even direct messaging from me yields no customer support whatsoever. At this point I wish I never installed it on mine. Of all the mods I have done this is the worst. One of the female RCA's in the harness was full of plastic from whomever manufactured the harness. This is the only mod I would take back and never have done.

 

That's serious business right there !

 

You'll be fine, just take off your mudflaps.
