Gotcha. Mine came factory but I guess the dealer installed remote worked with mine so that makes sense.

 

Well I been trying to sell em along with my old front bumper for $50 and haven't had any serious inquirers. So just the fogs maybe $25? And that would include 2 sets of bulbs. One stock one yellow and yellow Lamin-X covers

 

Yeah but his wasn't addressed as far as I know

 

eBay. I think I paid $30 for 2

 

It's on that thread I think. Also, you may be write on the blue line. Hard to tell on my phone.

 

Really? I’ll need to check this section as I did not know it even existed. This will give me something to do today to better understand the direction of our society.

 

Looks like once I finish up my second cup of Italian Dark Roast (black like I like my women), I’ll go out and start playing with the new impact. First on the list for removal are the front tow hooks. Clean them up and Ospho them. Probs paint them tomorrow once the Ospho dries. What color you guys think? Black or Red to match the trim accent?

 

You're on the 4th page. I remember what it was too.

 

Your gonna love the reverse feature on that bad boy

 

Cool. I’ll check it later when I need a good chuckle.

 

Nice! I watched youtubes on it last night so I’m a full pro now without even using it yet.

 

I wondered that too, then realized the bed & tailgate have bedliner sprayed on them. I'll guess the access panel doesn't open any more.

 

@ColoradoTJ what do the different lines through names mean?

 

I'm sure it depends on the shop but the access panel on mine was removed and sprayed separately.

 

It means they regret not buying a black Tundra.

 

drum roll....but #BlackLinesMatter

 

I did run the wire through the tailgate, but I couldn’t get it to go straight down the middle, so I had it come out the bottom on the drivers side, and ran it to the hole in the center. The clips came with my camera, I bought a

$98 Pioneer NDBC8 Pioneer ND-BC8 NTSC Universal Camera, Mirror-Image - Rearview Camera - Backup Camera

Pioneer NDBC8 camera to go with my head unit.

 

Alright that would be great! I plan on finishing up my install this weekend, and I can post more pics when I do.

 

Thank you, that will help hopefully. I’ll go digging around for that harness tomorrow.

 

I had access to the inside of the tailgate, but the support brace inside prevented me from running the wire straight down. I’ll post a pic of the inside of the tailgate later.

 

New impact wrench made light work of the tow hooks removal. Cleaned them up, grease rubbed them, and reinstalled. Passed on the painting. Went ahead and did a practice run on breaking the steering rack bolts. The d-ring bracket side bolts were very seized up (compared to the tow hooks), but finally broke loose. Snugged them back up for another day when there is enough time to install the steering rack bushings.

 

I think I need to recheck mine. It's acting funny.

 

Suppose to Be checked with the engine running hot.

 

I've always wondered about this. what constitutes hot for the transmission? after driving on the highway, my engine will be fully warm, but transmission temps will only be around 100F due to cold and the TC being locked up. Is that "Warm" enough?

 

I did that too. Here is a pic with engine running and hot. I drove it some and then parked it. Ran it through the gears R,D,2, and L. Put it in park and here is what the dipstick looked like after idle for 5 minutes. Truck is on level ground. Checked it multiple times same result.

 

Hot would be operating temp. About the same as the engine coolant. 180ish.

Cold under 100
