Pics? Mine had the woodgrain kit in it when i got, but i guess age and abuse it was all delaminating and looked horrid, so i took it all off... it is double stick taped on, so if you are careful you can slowly pry/cut it off, then go back with goo be gone to get the rest of the tape residue off.



Walmart had the radio install kit for around $15 that gives you a small teay under a single DIN radio (I cut the bottom of the tray out and mounted a 12v outlet/ usb/ volt gauge)

[MENTION=135324]SilverBeast01[/MENTION], I found one on eBay for $55+shipping a few years ago. That may be your best bet because I do believe that thing is toast sir. Are you the HULK bro? :smash: Geez....

Yeah I thought so too. I might take it up to Toyota and b**ch at them for a while until I get what I want for a small price[emoji23] nothing over 20$
 
Anyone installed a backup camera and know which cable to connect to so that the camera turns on when backing up automatically? I have a camera installed, but not sure which cable to tie into to get it to turn on auto when in reverse.
 
When did you order the AOR plate? I ordered mine 5 weeks ago and I'm still waiting patiently (not really. I wishfully check my email multiple times a day) :frog:

I placed my order on 03/11/16. So 7 weeks so far. I sent an email last week. No word as of yet. I know they expanded their operation a bit and were taking over the space next to where they had been operating out of, so I imagine that slowed things down a bit. We'll see.

Use the reverse light hot wire (not use which color it is but you can find it with a test light or volt meter). I ran mine off of a relay that turns on with my radio power antenna so it is on all the time.
 
Last snow trip of year I hope.

Guys, I just have to say, I love coming to this thread and reading everything that's going on. Keep up the good work guys!

Drove mine a few hundred miles this weekend, towed for the first time (moved my quads around for a turbo build on the raptor), and then played in the woods/went shooting.
 
Ditched the K&N filter for a paper filter and cleaned the MAF sensor after just 10,000 miles since the last cleaning. The sensor bulb and tiny thermistor were covered in a fine layer of dirt that had passed through the K&N filter.

Also, got a little bored with the paint while I was touching up the skid plate and added this:

It's kinda cheesy and no one will ever see it but I like it haha:D
 
Scored a nearly new Scan Gauge II on Craigslist for $75. Wasn't planning on buying one but I could not pass up that deal.

Now I just need to figure out how I want to permanently mount it. I'm thinking I'll cut out the top of the steering column and recess it down inside so that it doesn't obscure my view. I saw someone else do that on this fourum and really liked it. Very clean and no wires hanging out.

That is the air intake sensor, the MAF is actually located down inside the tube. It looks like a filament from an incandescent light bulb. Spray liberally with MAF cleaner until clean.

Yep! I sprayed the cleaner in there to clean it up too, just couldn't get the camera to focus on it for a picture. Thanks for the heads up though!
