What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I may be wrong but I thought his thread focused on headlamps. The reverse lights are insanely bright. Much brighter than the incandescents.

This is the link I used. https://tacomabeast.com/products/tail-light-stage-1-conversion-kit

I like amber turn signals because they are safer. I also prefer LED lights on signals, brake, etc.

 

Fyi, the RMAS system is adjustable so if you get a bigger boat you can can increase the spring tension accordingly.

 

I have that exact set up and did add relays and switches for each. So far it works, but I’ll be adding timers to each that will shut off power to the load in the even each or any is left on longer than 60 minutes, this is especially important for the bed lights if switched on by accident during the day light.

edit here is a link to the

$35 Small Miniature Timer on Off Cycling delay Relay 0.1 sec to 9999 Hours. 3V 12V 18V DC 5A. Power On Off delay, Cycling. Industrial Control and Hobby. and Programmer

timers I will be adding to each circuit.

 

First question is if you disconnect the battery from the fuse box, how will the security module work? Remote start, key fobs, gps and heaven knows what else. You going to flip this switch each time you go to the truck?

Those little timers are super handy! Great idea too!

 

Those circuits you mention all stay on the OEM fuse cluster. The additional 6-banger is for add-ons as such.

 

Probably a ground. That was the perfect world I was talking about in my post. LOL

Gotcha.

Thanks @Rottencotton for answering the question...I was under a K5 Blazer today and not near my phone.

Yes, the hydros are far less severe than the rubber stops and mitigates most the harsh bump when bottoming out. So smooth and controllable without needing stiffer leafs. I'm running Icon RTX leaf packs in the stage one config and with summer camping gear it rides beautiful. With winter camping I carry more bed weight than usual so having a smoother bottom out experience was what I was looking for.

 

That's what's great about the

$76 Blue Sea Systems 7635 m-LVD Low Voltage Disconnect

LVD, it shuts er down whenever I'm overzealous. No matter what, I come back to a truck that starts, but the LVD might also be causing the draw.
Stand-by current draw is:
95mA (Connected)
4mA (Open)

 

Thus the beauty of a dual battery setup with an isolation relay. There are a lot of ways to make it work.

 

My parasitic draw was because Our builder hooked up the truck battery to a terminal post that was also connected to our lithium camper battery. Those two different battery types have different voltages caused a parasitic draw that took me a couple of months to isolate. No thanks to my lack of 12 volt electrical skills

 

Got some new meatzz! Ditched my 275/70/18 Wildpeaks for some 295/70/18 Geolander G003s. Fills the wheel well much betterrr!

 

I can't believe it took me this long... sway bar delete.

 

Nice! What suspension setup are you running?

 

looks great! What wind deflectors do you have?

 

Good decision with a good suspension. Can’t go wrong with Kings!
I got up in the attic in November to get Christmas stuff down and saw my sway bar hanging in the rafters where I put it 2 years ago. I had forgotten about it. Took it off after I installed my suspension.

 

Thanks! Yeah, it took me a while... but now that I have the 700lb springs, it was a no-brainer!

 

I put my AVS vent shades and my Tacoma tail gate letters on back in the warmer fall months. I pre heated all of the 3M tape surfaces with a Wagner heat gun before applying. They all stuck really well. Just heat them up slightly....nothing really hot

 

My wife had a big laugh when I installed my GasHole......I think they are cool and do the job intended. I'd bet that tether will fail some day.
