js312's 2011 DCLB 4x4 TRD Sport Mild Build

Finally took the time to direct my camera to my headunit. It is true that there is a little quality loss from splitting the signal, but the image on the mirror is just as good as before. The image on the headunit isn't perfect, but it's really not bad at all. I can read a license plate on it if I'm backing up to another vehicle.

Some of my wiring isn't exactly the neatest. Problem is, I do everything as a "proof of concept" to make sure it works before I put a huge amount of effort into making everything pretty. I always plan to go back and improve the wiring later then I never do. Some day...

 

Nice UG mounting spot. I went on top of the steering column, the wire is exposed but more useful for how I use it IMO

 

I tried a bunch of places before I settled on where mine is. I've also tried many different gauges before I settled on the ones I currently have.

This last move was because large bottles/mugs in the cupholder were tall enough to hit it. It's totally out of the way now. I ended up moving the brake controller because my keys would knock against it, so that freed up space for the gauge.

 

Added an interior 120v plug. Used a Leviton 1374-1.

 

Made it 40k before I blew up one of my rear Bilsteins. Put two new ones on.

There was fluid all over the bad one and if I compress it by hand it just stops about half way. I expect the truck was about to force it past that and that's when I got noises from it.

The other one was okay, but looked a little lousy from two New England winters, so they look nice and new now.

 

How are the heated seats holding up? Pretty sure those are moving up on my list of projects.....

 

Very well. Driver's side doesn't warm up quite as quickly as it used to (takes maybe 5 minutes instead of 2-3), but still gets very warm if you give it enough time. Passenger's side is perfect.

 

One more day!

Well, for you anyway. But breaks are always a nice change of pace for me.

 

Yeah, I hear ya. I need this one.
I am exhausted. Long stretch.
Hope all is well.

 

Yup, March and April are always tough.

All is well with me, hopefully the same with you!

 

Is this factory? Where can I get one? Been searching but can't find one that looks like oem.

 

I don't know if this is the exact one, but it was something like this: https://www.ebay.com/p/Griffin-GC23...SB-Devices/1000021981?iid=332591242107&chn=ps

I replaced my Tacoma with an F-150 and it already has 4 USB charging ports. I might have that 12V adapter somewhere. If I can find it, I'll let you know and I can send it your way.
