What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

The turn signal recall was depinning and swapping 2 of the wires. Most guys did it themselves.

 

Looks like Overland Vehicle Systems has finally designed an Awning that will fit mid height racks with our sticking way out in back. The 270LTE awning is just 65" long. Appears to be a good fit for those who dont want that long hang out or up above the cab hieght Awning

 

I've seen that type of device on commercial vehicles that are using GPS and monitoring devices on their drivers' vehicles to ensure compliance w/policies, etc...

 

Does anyone know how to contact FBC Harness solutions or his username on this forum. He’s the guy that has the website that sell custom made harness ect. I tried reaching out to him from his website contact page but it’s not working. Thanks

Sorry, didn't realize they broke that on me for no good reason :sigh: I'll attempt to fix it.

 

It's been looking like you're building an electric truck!

 

Hell no.....just accessories lol.

 

OK, looks like square now requires exposing a physical address for any email communications. Saying that's now a legal requirement. Interesting. That really blows things up for me b/c I don't have a physical storefront.

 

Anyone know the part number for the TRD skid plate bolts that got into the front bumper?

lost them and need to replace

 

Picked up the cover for the busbar. Crazy that this was $40.00 for a plastic box.

 

The ones that came with the skid plate? The install sheet shows a hardware bag but doesn't give a part number. I think someone found the part number for that kit a while back. I'll see if I can find it.

 

Hardware Kit. Front Skid Plate.
Part Number: PT93834140HW
Supersession(s): PT938-34140-HW

Just double check.

 

I am not sure if they actually did anything but check the harness and ensure it was all good. sorry I dont have more info Mike19

 

I swapped my rigid ditch lights for Baja designs xl sports. One of the lights was wired backwards and popped my fuse so that slowed me down a bit.

I also cut and bent a front cat shield/skid plate. Should be building a rear soon.

 

Removed the stock bumper. @STravis bumper going on tomorrow!

 

Do you have a place by you that has personal mail boxes like a UPS store or something? That should be able to be used as a physical address in their system. It’s what I’ve done before.

 

"of a man...who does not exist..."

 

How did you remove the chrome tip? I have pulled, shoved, twisted, banged on it with a hammer and it does not move past the part that flares out. Any advice appreciated.

BTW I have 2015 Crewmax Platinum. Not sure how that affects things.

 

Just received my S2's thanks to @Baja Designs. Install is underway for this third brake light.

 

Can't wait to see the finished product @reywcms.
Best,
Brandon

 

Yup definitely looks like an ELD. It will have GPS, probably can pull diagnostics, and probably has an accelerometer (for capturing harsh driving, etc). I'd be a little concerned if I unknowingly found one installed in my vehicle...

 

That device is usually installed by companies that are managing fleets. I use the same type of system to monitor my work trucks.The only data I've seen it pull off is gps cordinates, traveling speed. Some of these units have the capability to lock out ignition and lock doors. One thing I would though, is call the company where that product is from and with the serial number you can find out if the device was active after the purchase of your truck. Other then that there isn't much to worry about.

 

Yeah it would be a pain to ship lol.

 

Installed the Decked drawers.

 

Running the wiring now. Should be sweet!

 

The OEM housing was fun to remove wasn't it? I had to use 3 pry tools to get mine out when I did the wiring conversion.

 

Absolute nightmare lol
