I need to make some "shades" above the table lights to keep them from shining in folks eyes. It's not bad but it gets old. I have a sheet of ABS plastic that might work... need to fuck with it. I tested it with some Gorilla tape (serious, you think I would something other than that? ) and it helped a shitload.

Just posting this here because I mentioned it elsewhere. This Cerakote trim restorer works awesome. I bought two boxes of it but one is plenty.

Also installed a rear view camera/mirror/dash cam. I like it.

That's what I used last night. I'll probably have to do a second coat of the side mirrors plastic but the other trim turned out great!

Added a mount for my JBL speaker to the swing out. Don’t plan to leave a speaker on there but it’s a spot that is out of the way. It came with a large Velcro strap to secure it more but this is only for use while parked.

Took the pig in today to get inspected. It’s like 4 months late. Anyhow… passed! The young lady that inspected it liked it. She thought it would be good to have if war broke out.

 

[Silverback]

Little does she know that if a war broke out this think might go 300 miles and then it’s out of gas.

Replaced my Cobra 75. I was looking at it a while back and the cord was shot.. just crumbling. It still works... but. Anyhow, replaced it with a Cobra 75 Allroad model. I contemplated not putting one in at all but I had the space for the mic already... and its pretty small.

Same thing happened to mine. That cord just disintegrates all at once randomly.

Built a mount out of aluminum for under my rack to hold a camping table. Picked up a bamboo table off the Amazon for somewhat cheap so we'll see how it goes.

I have an AuxBeam 8 switch panel on both the trailer and one in the bed of the truck for the work lights. Anyhow, they work fine but I would like to have the ability to use it remotely or via bluetooth. Well Auxbeam came out with a newer one a while back that had 8 switches and bluetooth. Then they came out with a 12 switch panel with bluetooth and a remote. So I ordered both, plan to replace the trailers with the 8 switch bluetooth and the trucks with the 12 switch which gives me room to expand. (I'd like to control my ARB Twin from the switchpanel for one thing). Anyhow, got them and the 12 switch is friggin' huge! Not really a fan of its size.

Nice. I think Garmin came out with something like that recently.

 

[Silverback]

They did, it only controls 6 things though.

Haven't touched this thing all year, so I showed it a bit of love. Installed auto-down on all windows switch panel. Works like a champ.

I take no credit in finding this item, @Anathollo showed it to me.

I should look into getting new trim that isn't yellowing.

Pretty cool those kind of controllers are that cheap now. I may have to pick one up for the Tacoma too.

I still need to put mine in

It took me 5 minutes. And that was only because I had to go grab a screwdriver and then a pair of pliers to seat the cannon plug into the unit.
