  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Haha thanks. Toyota can only make it so good, plenty of room for improvement! I got tired of posting the build last night, there’s still more to come that will be less truck and more camping

    I finished wiring up my connections to run my chase bar, which has brake lights-turn signals- amber chase lights-and reverse lights. The chase bar is tapped into the trailer plug wiring on the backside of the bumper so I can still plug in a trailer. The wiring diagram is conveniently located...

    I need to add the 12 pin bulkhead plug that will power my rack and tent as it goes on and off my truck like a backpack for off roading and camping. Holes always look terrible 12 pin plug that still needs the wiring to the truck, some of the wires will piggyback off the trailer plug wiring...

    When I get my new KB Voodoo Pro-Max rack my plan is to install a KC HiLites rear chase bar that will have rear turn signals and amber dust lights. I needed to install 2 switches to signal the solid amber and flashing amber lights. The amber LED’s have a minimal draw so I’m switching them...

    My HAM unit is under the front passenger seat and I wanted to add an extension for the mic so that it wasn’t stretching from under the far seat. So I routed the extension into the center console. There’s 4 bolts that I loosened I drilled a hole near the edge just big enough for the mic plug...

    I am wiring up my HAM radio and needed to pass the power cords through the firewall. HAMs specifically state not to power it off of the fuse block but the battery to keep down electrical noise. On both sides of the truck under the dash are 2 large rubber grommets that have a big wire harness...

    For wiring the dual compressor I used 8awg wire to run 2 positive lines from the battery to the compressor. Each compressor gets its own wire. I ran the negative wire to the compressor and spliced in the negative wire from my switch box as well. I also ran a shorter negative wire to the rear of...

    I decided to place my compressor, after much deliberation, on the bed side wall in front of the wheel well. I went with a QuickDraw ARB compressor mount because of its simplicity, rubber dampeners, and well it’s easy...

    I like to off road a lot and changing tire pressure is like changing shoes. If you are playing football on grass you aren't going to wear bowling shoes. The same is true if you are running forest roads, desert roads, or hitting rock gardens changing tire pressure helps with grip and comfort...

    My trim level is the Limited and it came with the Limited trim power option which includes the AC outlet in the bed and bed lights. The lights work good but I wanted great. The bed lights turn on with the overhead external rear light when you open the tailgate so I piggybacked off those. I was...
