    Are chin straps where the industry is headed? I’ve seen a lot of that around campus on different builds. We always joked about it being nice to have for what we were doing.
    Also what kind of shirts don’t go over your shoulders? Or you just mean you can’t show off your pasty guns due to liability of blinding people?

    Can’t be a tank top or sleeveless t-shirt. Not that I wear that stuff much anyway… my farmer tan would scare bigfoot.

    The Type 2 hard hats look like rock climbing helmets. Pretty much every sizable general contractor has switched to them, and most larger trade subs (like us) even if not required by the GC. They offer protection from side impacts that you don’t get from standard hard hats. But they are hotter and heavier due to the more complex structure inside of them. And ours are not vented because the vented ones do not offer the same level of electrical protection (we are also an electrical contractor)

    All of that is pretty standard PPE for us, it's the damn gloves that drive me nutty. How the hell am I supposed to be able to function in freaking oven mitts?

    Figuring this is a good place to post. I jumped on the bandwagon last year and got the stellar deal on the f511. Aside from the new head unit everything else is the factory amplified jbl system.

    I see trail grid pro now has an alpine 10 speaker replacement package that is plug and play with all necessary pigtails and speaker adapters for $658. https://trailgridpro.com/products/alpine-10-speaker-plug-play-bundle-2014-2021-tundra

    I
    looked on crutchfield and can get these same speakers for about $200 less, but I know having the ready made harnesses and being plug and play is worth something, just not maybe that much….anyways, would this be a nice upgrade and next step in audio sound and quality or are there better options for the price? I do like plug and play so not too concerned with the price hike for it. I was also looking at their alpine bypass plug and play 5 channel amplifier package. https://trailgridpro.com/products/alpine-jbl-bypass-plug-play-5-channel-amplifier-kit-14-21-tundra. Would it be good to pair both of these up together and would they complement each other well. If so, then I’d essentially have a whole new set up aside from the stock subwoofer.

    All thoughts and comments are welcome.

    I can't really help you with your question, but I just pulled the trigger on the Alpine F511 head bundle from Trail grid as well as the kicker bypass amp kit this past week. I will still have the stock JBL speakers but plan to probably replace those with the same alpine bundle you are asking about.

    As for the cost from Trailgrid, keep in mind they also have custom speaker adapter rings with the kit. I struggled with the extra cost of the Kicker amp from them but at the end of the day the harnesses and the convenience were worth something to me.

    Nice, curious to hear your thoughts once everything is installed. I sent trail grid pro a message with some questions for them, but I’m sure it will take a few days for a reply with the holiday weekend.

    I need HELP!! Anyone know what I did wrong? I got the Black, Blue, Green, Yellow wire Bypass and installed it per the instructions, if it matters it's a redwood Bypass-003. It worked for the first two drives and I could access everything, but now it doesn't even when I push down the emergency brake twice, so I'm completely locked out.
    I took the bypass wires and connected them to the Alpine main plug in wires:
    I soldered the Black to Black, Blue to the Blue/white, yellow to the yellow/blue and left the green out as my Alpine Halo ILX-F511 didn't have a yellow/black wire, so we didn't connect it to anything.

    I installed this Alpine HU 6 months ago, of all the modifications to my truck this has been the best by far. Great functionality, works seamlessly and looks nice.

    For everyone with this unit,
    when you turn up the volume does it say "volume" or 'Media"

    Has anyone installed the Alpine ILX-F511 on Tundras with a column shift? I have a 2016 Tundras SR5 with a column shift and wonder if the shifter would interfere with the screen

    By looking at the pictures it looks like you wouldn't have any issues. The screen doesn't stick out that far.

    Just installed ilx-509. Everything is great but I can't get my backup camera to show a picture. I followed Trail Grid Pro instructions and added a ground wire to the RCA cable. This helped my aftermarket front camera but the OEM camera triggers but it's a black screen. Any other ideas?

    Anyone have problems with iPhone to HDMI connection with the ILX-F511? I can get a chrome cast to display on the screen, and I can get my iPhone to display on my TV through a USB-C to HDMI adapter, but when I plug the adapter into the alpine, I don’t get a signal.

    Hey All. I have not posted in while. Looking to pull the trigger and Alpine Halo unit. I'm on the fence as to F511 and F509? I have a 2013 Tundra SR5 The other question i have how was the process in connecting the OEM Backup Camera which is currently in my rear view mirror. Also I DO Not have the JBL system nor the Navigation. Thanks for viewing.

    Even with the screen in your rear view mirror, the truck should already have wiring at the back of the head unit for the backup camera system.
