DizzyDoyle Build Thread

[DizzyDoyle]

Got my backup camera wired up finally. Also relocated my ultra gauge to the dash. Also started getting things planned for cleaning up my dash some but that will have to wait till next weekend.

 

[DizzyDoyle]

New wires, spark plugs, pcv valve and grommet and fuel filter to go along with the new air filter. Plan to change out the rear o2 sensor and clean the throttle body and MAF this weekend as well. LBJs to follow in April.

A buddy and I decided to go in search of some campsites and fishing spots yesterday. We then decided to go play around a little bit too.

 

[DizzyDoyle]

I went to my buddy's place to help him lay some water lines for his tiny house he is building. I also used this trip to test out a few new pieces of camping gear before a trip in 2 weeks. Good times and I now have no intention of laying water lines every again.

Do you actually keep your trasharoo like this when you wheel? How does it hold up with the weight? Ive been trying to figure ways to mount it without have a spare tire carrier or a ladder. It looks like it works fine unloaded but when you have trash it in and load it down, might want to break the "spoiler".

Ya, I do not mount it like that when it will be loaded down. I usually attach it to the back door when it will be loaded down.

I installed a dash cam that has a backup camera as well. I got the dash cam portion installed and this weekend I am installing the backup camera too.

Rear view mirror...

I will post more pictures once I finish installing the backup camera.

What Dash/Back Up camera system is this? I want a back up camera, but I don't like the ones with separate huge screens. Really like the idea of the mirror being the back up camera.

Looks badass!

 

[DizzyDoyle]

[MENTION=87781]97Run-Man[/MENTION], I got it off of amazon. But this is the description... ZeroEdge Dual-lens Car Camera, Full HD 1080P Large Rear View Mirror with 5-Inch Display Screen.

I was in the same boat too. I wanted a back up camera and did not want one with the big screen and everything. This one just clipped onto my existing mirror. The worst part was running the wires from the back to the front of the vehicle. Took maybe an hour to get it all installed the way I wanted it.

Hope this helps.

Few updates... Went out to a logging operation with a buddy and his tundra. Also installed a water port under my platform. Also took a small cruise on the Blue Ridge Parkway around Sylva, NC. Good weekend and more to come. Planning on the Richard B. Russell Scenic Hwy this Saturday or Sunday.

Installed LED reverse bulbs last night. As others have said, the difference over stock is amazing. I can actually see while backing up at night. Should have done this earlier.

Lights are always a great upgrade. Were these Ebay specials? Very fancy with the chrome Dizzy. PS: check my new location!

 

[DizzyDoyle]

They were from amazon. And that is sweet! Next time you come down to Athens, let me know. It would be awesome to check out your 4Runner. I will pm you my phone #.

Me too

Hopefully sometime this fall get to explore something here in N. Georgia

I dont care how light the trails are , i like any trail. I love exploring old trails and getting]the runner a little dirty. its all fun to me small easy trails are sometimes the best. I used to take my 4x4's out to a place that was just dirt roads and there was a cool river crossing . Yeah I would appreciate any help with the lift. I am slightly mechanically inclined, but def not great.

Can you link me to amazon product page for them?

 

[DizzyDoyle]

[MENTION=99383]amalik[/MENTION], here you are. Let me know if the link does not work. I don't know the proper way to embed the link. Sorry but I hope this helps. I have not had any issues since putting them in and they are definitely an upgrade over stock.

You linked turn signal bulbs. These are OK for reverse light?
