UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Sorry to bring us all the way back to this. I was just wondering if this camera stays on after the truck is turned off?

 

Kinda.

I tapped a "hot when vehicle is on" fuse so it charges off vehicle power when the key is in ac or on. Then it has a small battery onboard for when it is off. When it doesn't sense external power, it goes to sleep, but it has a "parking mode" so if someone backs into you for example, it kicks on and can hopefully catch a plate as the person flees, etc. It has 3 settings of sensitivity for parking and they are a little finicky though. High triggers it if I close my door anything short of gingerly. Medium works pretty well, but it needs to be a shock to trigger it. So if say, a semi backs into your truck near a loading dock at 1 mph and is more of a push than a crash, it won't catch it. Ask me how I know

 

Yikes that sucks. I was just wondering because my wife's work is next to a super sketchy hotel and they have had some crap happen recently. So I wanted one that will be on all the time or turn on based on movement or something like that incase someone messes with her car.

 

I have mine hardwired in for power all the time. (I have a supposed Volt cut off hard wiring kit) keeps the camera on all the time, but if you dont drive your truck for 3 weeks the battery died. Need to get my aux battery tray welded in

 

Not a bad idea. My wife's car gets driven pretty much every day unlike my truck so I don't think that would be an issue.

 

Yeah I'm game for sure

 

Managed to get my Lexus credit card key working.
If anyone needs techstream assistance Ive got the latest version working and a good obd2 adapter.

 

Smokin deal on a front e locker for my fellow 1st geners, I’d be all over it if I hadn’t just installed a front Harrop last month

Saw that too, great deal.

 

Damn! That is a killer deal!

 

Dammit, I woulda been all over that if I didn’t just buy another vehicle.

 

It's a 265/70/16 with a BFG Rugged trail on it. Never touched the road. What's it worth to you?

 

Does anyone know of someone that has designed a way to attach an axe to the bed rails?

I’m thinking this would be better than attaching it to my bed rack. In the sense of protecting it from some of the elements.

 

Something like this? https://www.relentlessfabrication.com/products/05-tacoma-bed-rail-dual-quick-fist-mounts

Or, some t-nuts that fit into the bedrails (https://shop-hondogarage.com/collec...ms/products/toyota-utility-track-t-nut-4-pack), and some quickfists.

 

Yes, thank you. Perfect.

 

I'd used Relentless Offroad bed rail mounts and quick fists.

 

Roger. Do you happen to have a pic handy?

 

You could also DIY it: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-hi-lift-and-tool-mounts.260147/

 

Did you install that before or after you got stuck in a snow bank by yourself with no cell reception?

 

I will take a picture alittle later. I'd just got home from work.
