    Pretty funny thread to read. Rally is such a bummer for everyone and their problems. I lost all respect for Victory4x4 when they stole the idea of another forum members product on here all because he was small guy making a great product for our Tundras however he did not have the money to afford a patent. Once they stooped that low i knew their business morals and ethics did not care about the customers. They only want to make a quick buck. And it shows even more with product development and quality control.

    Details as to why? We're they also deleted? Looks like prior conversations have been removed. Not trying to stir the pot just surprised how this is turning out.

    Sure. I PM’d him earlier this week asking him to address the above issues. He chose not to respond to the thread or my message.
    A staff member called over today (really, we never do that- to alert him) it took a call for him to monitor his business.

    They should have chimed in much earlier and addressed it. They should have went back and added it to the first page.

    We aren’t going to tolerate members getting screwed over by an approved vendor. They should have been pro-active to the situation(s).

    I’m not aware of any deleted posts.

    I bought a Blitz winch bumper from @brimey about a year ago. The cutouts to reach the controls and clutch are so small that I sustained grade 2 lacerations and some arm hair loss. Will there be reparations? I don't want the stigma of arm shaving here in Tejas...

    Don't mess with tundras.com. Good for you guys.

    When you're using this forum to advertise and sell your product, it's dumb to bite the hand that feeds you. Sounds like bad small business and a fast way to get yourself out of the Tundra game. Interesting his response seemed to imply everyone was on the same page.

    He replied to my PM after almost a week asking for guidance last evening. I gave some suggestions and he still hasn’t replied back to the PM, or edited his OP.

    Yes correct the ARB mount. Go get a @Bannock452 mount they are awesome! You can even fit a Viair400 if you modify the Viair pump by turning the feet/leg from the bottom to the side.

    @Bannock452 - Do you have a webpage or social media presence you take orders from? Once I can source an ARB, I'm getting one for sure and I'll need a mount.

    Hey man! Unfortunately I haven’t built up a webpage yet but I’ve been just taking PMs on here for orders. Also my Instagram @tundra452 is available for DM and ordering along with more photos. I have a thread on here for bolt in compressor mount with other info also!
    Let me know when your ready for a mount. I have plenty in stock and ready to ship.
    Also thanks for all the support! Tundra/Toyota community rocks!

    These are wired to your reverse lights presumably? Or just a manual switch?

    :rofl:

    I posi-tapped both into the reverse wire near where it connects to the trailer harness behind the bumper. The LED’s don’t pull that much amperage, so the circuit is stout enough.

    FULL DISCLOSURE AND WARNING...since it’s kind of relevant to this thread...

    Be careful in using your saw when you mount them in the locations I did. It is NOT A SAFE ZONE. Right behind the bumper there is a wiring harness for the proximity sensors. I nicked one of the wires, and now the sensor closest to the license plate doesn’t work (the sensors’ wiring is daisy-chained to the outer sensor). My f’up is your cautionary tale, as is this thread...:thumbsup:

    Not difficult I promise, just make sure to tape around the future hole so you don’t scratch your paint. I just used an old Craftsman jigsaw with a metal blade. :thumbsup:

    Nothing new about that. I bought a brand new 1976 Bronco...in 1976......bought some ABS flares, Hooker headers, Cherry bombs, and a sun roof in the first week. Took a Skill saw to the rear fender wells to attach the flares, cut a hole in the roof to mount and seal the sun roof, (hate moon roofs), took out the exhaust manifolds and installed the Hookers followed by Cherry Bombs.......
