Got my garage door switch installed. Love how it looks. The lights don’t completely match the others, but it’ll be fine. Also got my coin holder/cup.

 

Today I went to the storage unit and got everything ready





There's no way I'm going to work on the truck during the day under 100F weather outside

Tonight is the night. First 500-mile break-in oil change, TRD Skid Plate, Miller Catshield will go on.

Not my first rodeo, it's going to be a PITA to get the TRD skid plate on solo.

 

Can you please share more on this garage door switch? (How it’s wired, parts, etc.) Would like to do this on my truck sometime too. Thank you.

 

I laid on the ground with the TRD skid resting on me and lined it up somehow. I must have been determined since I told my wife, it was already there when she noticed the Air Dam was off! lol

 

Do you have ramps? This worked for me.


I layed down on the creeper, then layed the skid plate on me and rolled under. Get the 2x rear partially in first, then middle and front.

 

if you combine the Tacoma with Hilux, it’s easily the best selling mid size truck…by a wide margin

 

Last time I didn't have ramps nor creeper, I had floor jack and some cardboard on the ground, it took me forever to line up the bolts

This time I have ramps and a creeper, hopefully things can go much easier

 

Got the Tacoma paid off and received the title today

 

Yes, but that isn’t what you originally said.

 

I wish I had taken more pictures of the install. It is really just two parts you have to buy. The switch (eBay) and the harness that plugs into the cargo light switch on the left side of the steering wheel. The entire cost was around $45. You have to open the garage remote and determine which posts to solder the wires to. To do this, locate the button on the remote PC board that operates the opener. There are usually four posts on the button that are soldered to the board. I used a single wire, stripped on both ends to figure out which two posts operate the opener. Touch one end of the wire to one of the posts, and the other end of the wire to a different post. When the garage door activates, take note of which posts you touched. These are the ones you will solder to the green and black wires from the harness.

This guy does a decent job of explaining how it basically works. He doesn’t use the harness though. I just used the harness because I didn’t want to splice into my factory wires. https://youtu.be/8CSv2dPfUh0

Drove it to work on and clean our the race trailer and wash the Dodge, Replace the O2 sensor im my dads Camery.
Sat back with some Jack n Coke and relaxed.
Received my helper springs box damaged and empty. waiting for Amazon to make it right.

 

How could I forget the ramps?

That's how I did it and I have the crawler too!

 

I guess I just assumed since we’re on the largest Tacoma forum on the planet…but I digress

 

I did the same in order to patch my Paradox security system to the remote garage door opener.

 

Nope, it’s all about facts.

Just so you know, the Tacoma ISN’T the most powerful truck sold either

 

I finally caved. For such a minor change, I’m pretty impressed.

 

Trail gear kit, no parking brake.

 

is that why you added forced induction?

 

Have you seen these? Works with your phone and $30.
