The 5 guys who BS on the forum BS Thread

Just saw a baby NYPD car. So cute with its lights on

 

finally back in the land of wifi yall

 

me gusta mucho

 

looks good but I've never loved the way mtr kevlars looked

 

Not a fan of the tires. Normal M/Ts would be better visually

 

for certainly

 

Not sure but I pick tires for capability, not looks...

 

So I'm in Amsterdam

 

I'm sure theres a more visually appealing tire thats just as capable if not more...

 

Hookers and w33d is legal.

Enjoy

 

There's no doubt about that, but if you could only get the perfect tire that looked like shit, I'd still get it. It's all about performance and safety

 

id like to think so. but then again people love KM2 and you know how i feel about them.

 

Was bored after work (12:45am..)

Decided to relocate my GPS from my dash to above the mirror after seeing a writeup on the blue room.





Took me 10 minutes. All I did was tap the pin out of the lever on the suction cup, remove the cup and spring, trim the bottom of the base about 1/8" so it sat flat against the mirror mount, and found some longer machine screws laying around the shop.

I'm happy with it!

Tomorrow I'll be tucking the wire for that, putting my radar detector in, tucking the radar wire in, and hardwiring them to a switched 12v source. Oh and putting my ultragauge in the bottom left corner of my dash where my enormous GPS was. Fun fun!!

 

how's the triple wiper set up? i have a feeling that would have me tripping balls the first few times

 

Yay or nay? I'm sure it would be a lot quieter outside the garage

I actually like it a lot. Less windshield to scrape ice off too!

And I drove to grandma's 2012 Subaru Outback and I felt like I was driving a bullet train with how steep the windshield is sloped back. I could also see much higher above me.

Driving the FJ is like flying a simulator. You have a big wide screen in front of you that's far enough so you can focus on the view, but you can clearly see the boarders.

 

Energy bushings...lil stiff but better than shitty busted OEMs

 

Both of em sound like you're in a fish tank for me

 

x2

 

Ha...yea played it back through various sources and none of them sounded right until I used my computer with studio monitors

(gets raspy as hell above 3k)

Edit - Sam (and Chad) I like the trend you seem to be setting on t4r with the glass fenders

 

Chads rear fenders came out looking so good

 

word its revolutionary for that forum. Im talking with him to order me some rears.

 

I want -12 offset methods but the monies is crazy

 

them fj fenders got lots of space eh

 

stick your head in and find out.

 

TONS!

 

Had success with yet another 10 minute mod!

I hate the stock reverse lights, and having the aux reverse lights is awesome, but flipping the switch every time kinda sucks.

I wanted a way to be able to retain a simple on/off switch. No need for the 3 position switches, bla bla bla..

I thought at first, what if I just tapped the positive wire off the stock reverse bulb and ran it to the trigger on my relay. Problem with that is when you flip the switch, you'd end up kinda back feeding power to your stock reverse bulb, lighting it up and making it look like crap.

I did some digging on the interwebz (without even making a post with this question, even though it's kinda uncommon) and I came up with some 10A 100V diodes. The diode acts as a one-way valve, kind like a check valve. So I have it positioned so it will allow current to go from the stock reverse bulb to the relay trigger wire, but when I flip the switch, it will block the power from getting to the stock reverse bulb.

SO, I bought some on eBay (I have 3 extra if anyone wants to do this mod) and soldered wire to either side. After practically snapping my arm off trying to get the reverse bulb out of the tail light, I finally tapped into the red wire w/yellow stripe. Then I ran my wire with the inline diode to the relay's trigger (pole 85).

Easy as that! I put everything back together and it works! No back feeding!

 

Do you think I could run a diode from a overweight trigger wire such as the one in my trailer wiring to the power for my lights instead of to the relay?

 

The overweight trigger in your trailer?

I know you can run lights off your trailer plug wiring harness
