yup, they didnt have time to do my reflash, my gf rav4 service, or my friends fj service. i couldnt wait so i dropped it off to them and told them if they can fit me in then get to it asap. i did notice all servcos were giving me different dates, try calling around.

 

It's gotten me out of quite a few jambs on my truck

I get all my projector crap form http://www.theretrofitsource.com/

I have done the Mini D2S's, FX-R's, and now TL's on my truck. And Mini H1's in my fog lights, and my friends 00' Kawasaki.

Looks great!!!

 

yeah i dont know whats going on. most of it is just routine service lot of cars were sold haha. part of the 2 years free maintainance we got going on i guess. If u like i can ask one of the service managers but most likely will go on stand by. PM me

 

that site has so much stuff. i dont know where to start. im looking to get halos with projectors

 

Easiest and cheapest is going to be the Mini H1 stage III kit: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=227

Just helped my friend put one in his bike. The LED halos are crazy bright! And eh said the projectors put out 10x more light than the HID's he had just tossed in the stock lights.

Only problem we had was that the projectors didn't want to align perfectly with each other.. Easy fix with a very small file. Just have to check before you finalize everything

 

Order my skid this morning, said it will ship tomorrow. Hopefully will be here quickly.

 

Thanks man . Its cool. I'm glad their busy, you know.
It's been making noise for a little while. I'm patient.

 

raja lemme know if anything. always happy to see what i can get done yea

 

I don't have projectors yet . Rotha got his off Amazon for about $150.00

 

i could have swore you did.
my bad, i know ratha has some crazy double halos. i just want single

 

After a couple weeks of gathering supplies and what not, planning it out, reading through various infos on TW. I finally got to install it and got it working. It was pretty much a bi*** and PITA to do. Lots of mistakes that I had to correct a couple times. I didn't have the proper tools that I wanted or needed, but I made of what I have. Dremel tool goes a long way hahaha. It's not 100% complete yet, cause there's various things that I need to tweak. Not to sound selfish and what not, but there's no way I'll do a write up on it. This thing was pretty much a trial and error, either it was going to work, or a big failure on my part. Hopefully I don't get flack for it seeing that there is member here that pretty much got this thing down. If you guys do have question(s), I'll be happy to answer them.

here's a not so perfect video haha. you guys got the idea

i saw one that was purchased once, he put the switch near his right leg under the head unit. and the latch on the non sliding glass was removed.
man that is awesome! ive been dying to do mine but dont know where to get the parts. if you could help me out there id owe you haha

Thanks man. It ain't perfect but it'll get there.

Most likely I'll just put the switch where the 4x4 switch is suppose to be, since I don't have it. As for the latch I'll prolly just disable it instead of removing it.

Here's a list of the parts that I use.
Honda Ridgeline rear glass regulator. It's a lot cheaper to buy it from a honda parts web site than eBay. Got mines 62.93$ shipped.
Switch- got mines from eBay. There's so much options out there. Your decision on what switch you wanna use.
Bicycle break cable, and cable housing. Got mines from the bike shop in aiea.
Then you need wires. Got mines from RadioShack.

The hardest part of this thing is that you need to fab your own bracket that'll clamp on to the rear glass. Second hardest part is finding a way for the cables to hook on to the bracket. That's why I said it was bi*** and a PITA to get this thing done.

Since you have a DC, It'll be your decision on where it's best to mount your motor.

Regulator


This is where I ran the cable on both the passenger and driver side. There's like this open gap, drill a hole and ran the cable.

Mounted the motor on a piece of aluminum plate, drilled 2 small holes, and use the smallest nut and bolt I got lying around.



It's not as detailed as it should be, that's why I don't want to do a write up on this thing. But you'll have an idea on how everything goes. I'm pretty sure anyone can do this, if they have the proper equipments and tools. Anyone can tweak some of the stuff, if it's easier to do it this way and that way blah blah.

 

Thanks man awesome job and description. Thanks for the info

 

Mean bro!!

 

Looks Cherry! great job bro

 

Love it! I want one so bad

My friend put one in his Frontier last year. Took a lot of milling to work, but it made me wish I had the opening rear window bad!

Awesome job man!

 

Idk bout you guys but I wish they made the Tacoma have a roll down single piece back glass the the 4runners and tundras I think that be an awesome feature that I'd definitely add as an option

Haha sunroof would be cool too but that's just me

 

Hey Brandon, I think I drove past you at about 2:30 on my way out of joint base. Back near the rear gate that connects to two bases.

 

that was probably me. i was driving around that time
