    Telescoping awning mount for use with an iKamper. I made a full DIY thread as well linked HERE I am working on adding a 270 awning to my rack that has an iKamper. The challenge is that an iKamper shell HEAVES out to the drivers side on its hinges as it opens to the passenger side. So one can’t...

    Installed a heritage pro grille as it offers an easy mounting point for a light bar. I went with Diode Dynamic’s amber set up. 3rd Gen Tundras have gone fancy to a CANBUS system so I had to order a canbus interface trigger system which only takes a couple days to ship from England I believe...

    Here are some more photos of the area light mounts, the 12 pin connector that powers the rack, how the power panel and air compressor configuration looks, the KB Voodoo tonneau cover bracket location, tent power, and my slide-based camping solutions. 12 Pin connector, allows to me quickly...

    Doesn’t look like much but it is time consuming. Lights, and the wiring of them. I use cheap rock lights for my camp lights because…well they are cheap and I just need rugged water proof lights. That braided cord goes to the 12 pin plug I installed previously. Link to the rock lights I use for...

    I opted for KB Voodoo’s ProMax Modular rack and added the lockers. I am very excited about the extra storage for recovery gear and tools that free up bin space on the cargo rack. I’ve got discounts available if you are thinking about KB Voodoo racks or bed bars, just send me a message Large...

    Half bed slide is done! It’s 22.5” wide, 63” long, and the drawer height is only 1.25” above the bed so my Dometic 75DZ still has almost inch of clearance under the cover. There’s a pull handle and the bar in front of it depresses to release the locks while stowed or fully extended out. It’s...

    My next project is more off road gear related than directly TUNDRA related, but it will go into the truck. There are a number of bed slides on the market but my problem with them is they span the entire width of the bed. Plus they tend to eat up or 3 so inches of vertical height. Plus you can’t...

    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...
