    Just ordered my rear sway bar and haven't even bought my tundra yet. I'll take the keys this evening.

    The only thing my stock mirrors have is the heated function. Is turn signal power already at the truck connection or do wires need to be run?

    I don't think any Tundra have existing turn signals wires, you will need to run new ones into the cab.

    The turn signal wire is there and already part of the harness. The only thing you have to wire is the reverse light but they cover that in their video for installation. The turn and drl in the boost mirrors will work with your truck without any changes.

    They all have the wiring. SRs might be the one exception and I do not know. But every SR5 and up has it already in the harness. Plug in the new mirrors and it will work :thumbsup:

    As mentioned, no wiring needed. The only thing I could have wired was the reverse lights but I didn't bother. If I would have opted for power-folding then I would have needed to wire that up as well since my truck wasn't originally equipped.

    this is the only pic I got of it. Thinking about running a extension port wire for the mic so I can plug it in under where the heated seat controls are.

    A couple of folks asked about this so here is more info on the RCA jack I put on the back of my truck for the trailer camera.
    The jack is an Amphenol ACJB "D" Flange Panel Mount RCA Jack with a Neutrik SCD-W Sealing Cap - D-Series - IP65. Just search for RCA D flange Jack as many companies sell them with both solder and barrel connectors in the back. The camera is just a regular car backup camera with wiring run to the trailer hitch which connects to the jack. With the 4 way video switch shown I can select between the truck front, truck rear, and trailer cameras to the head unit at any time, controlled by the remote control attached to the left of the HU between the vent and the 4wd switch. The wired camera is probably more reliable, and definitely much cheaper than the wireless trailer backup cameras. FYI - where I mounted the jack is supported only by plastic and there is a wiring harness behind it.

    Weighed it. No passengers, no cargo, full fuel. With only 7200 lbs GVRW, there isn’t much room left for passengers, cargo, and accessories.

    I found after lifting the end tabs and moving to the long section I used and extra nylon pry tool inserted between the surround and grill as I moved down to the next tab as being super helpful, it kept the tabs from reinserting themselves

    How does tire and wheel weight change the payload? I get the extra stress on gearing and axles, but I thought capacity was chassis and suspension…? Is it due to GVWR?
