What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

If you do alittle googling (I did mine years ago and can't remember the wire colors off the top of my head) all you do is find the camera connector in the drivers side kick panel and splice into that wiring with an RCA cable. I wanted mine to show up on both the mirror and screen so I stripped the 2 signal wires on the truck harness and solder spliced in the RCA cable that went to my head unit.

If you don't want it to show up on the mirror too I think you just cut the signal wires and splice your RCA cable into those... I THINK you need to leave the connector in place to provide power to the camera, not 100% sure on that one because I spliced and left the stock wiring intact.

 

Looks like my work bench lol

 

That looks really sweet, are those coin holders in the front? Only thing I'd do is hide the actual coins, people will bust a window even for a few dollars in change.

 

No idea on the meters. It will be about 1.5kg in the end. Printing time was about 3 days, but take that with a grain of salt as it was printing at 250mm/s.

 

Where is the mic installed?

 

They'd be rich if they did. Those coin holders are going to be about 5" deep minus a bit for springs. I can easily add a little lid. Can even add a couple of small magnets so it doesn't rattle.

 

what rack do you have?

 

If you make one for the manual I'll probably buy it. You could add built in phone holder slot in the front of it that has a built in wireless charger in it. That would be sweet.

 

Willing to give the STL?

 

Front runner. Which is an awesome sturdy AF rack that I have used and abused for two years. 3 5k mile today trips with kayks and shit on them? ✅. The ability to stack the deep and still walk on them✅. Accessories out the wazoo? ✅. Soon my awning will be mounted up.

As for the rust and peeling powder coating... I have lived in the Wisconsin for two years. Salty as fuck. The bolts, nuts, and steel brackets didn’t stand a chance.

but I’d recommend this rack in a heartbeat.

 

Thanks! I’m gonna look into it this weekend

 

Replaced a destroyed wheel bearing. First time it’s been driveable since august

 

Started the process on getting my navigation/SAT radio/back-up camera properly installed.
I guess I was starting too many electrical projects at once and got in over my head (not with electrical in general, but with the number of stuff I want to do).

 

how fun was drilling the cab?! I drilled 12 holes for my Prinsu. Its never coming off now!

 

It’s the @mattgecko kit. Matt, what switch do you use?

Towed the raptor around

 

Did you just wire them straight original tag lights?

 

I wired them to the tail lights. It was a shorter run. I just had to make a small notch on the tailgate skin to run it over, and drilled one hole near the tail light

 

I highly recommend baja's.
