What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

When installing a reverse camera through the head unit, where is the reverse lamp harness that I splice into with the wire from the head unit?

 

By the tail lights..only harness back there.

 

Yep. That said, this thing will climb hills all day long in 4Lo/1st gear

 

But is there a wire in the can near the dash I can splice into cuz the wire out of the headunit is only 3-4 in. long

 

Yea you are going to have to make it longer.

I thought you needed power for the camera at the camera.

Otherwise it should be the same as what Jason said.

 

Your camera kit should have a wire long enough to go from tail light to the head unit.

But honestly do what I did and hook it up to a switch so you can use the camera whenever, not just in reverse.

 

How exactly you do that

 

Instead of wiring to the reverse light circuit, with into a switch.

 

1. I can say without ambiguity that it is green...and possibly some other color...fuck I guess this doesn't show it well.


2. LOL. Like, so outside the box, man!

 

The power going to reverse was this one for me:



It was black and red.

 

Exactly^^

It's just like hooking up lights. Do it that way and you don't even have to fuck with the reverse light curcuit.

 

Just follow the wire out of the light and trace it back

 

All new front brakes today. Calipers, rotors and pads. Was easier than I thought it would be.

 

If it were me, I think I'd want both. For maximum safety, have the reverse light circuit wired up, and wire the manual switch in parallel, so you can optionally flip it on.

 

If anyone wants a DIY weld rear bumper I have a few ready to go. 2 of them have a hole for a tire carrier spindle on the right side, 2 don't. It will look the pic below, but with end caps. No wrap around has been designed for these yet, so if you want that it's all you. $275 plus shipping for the 9 pieces needed. If you also need the 2" square tube to tie in the hitch to the mounting brackets, that is $15 extra. PM me.

Main structure is 3/16", the mounting brackets are 3/8", and the shackle mounts are 1" thick.

I will get more pics when I get this welded and the truck gets here to install on.

 

Me too! Wanted to do the Tundra swap but don't have the time, money or extra weight to justify it yet. Plus I don't plan on keeping the spacers forever and didn't wanna have to deal with it till I get new wheels.

 

What clip conversion is this
Doesn't look like fiberglass

 

Those look good ! Glws!
