I replaced it! 2019 TRD PRO Tundra to replace 2005 Suburban. Car under the cover is a slightly destroyed 2005 Tahoe which the Burb replaced it. Now a question..Has anybody installed a front camera on one of these Tundras? I found a gizmo on Ebay that looked like it might work. It can use the original rear camera in addition to a front to be added without cutting wires.

got a link? i have an '18 tundra and i wanted a front camera and the only thing i knew to do was get the one that clips on the rear view mirror and plugs into the cigarette lighter. would love one that is mounted/wired better than that. does the camera record? im guessing its a dashcam to record whats going on as youre driving...thats what i am wanting

nice rig! youre going to love the tundra!

Took it out for a 60 mile drive today to shake out more bugs and check out some rental properties. Ran great, never got even a little warm. Cruises great at 45. Floorboards get a little warm. The transmission breather is apparently missing the cap so it blew enough oil out to seep out from under the transmission inspection plate, routed a vinyl tubing line from there up into the engine bay and will be routing the other breathers there before I go to Arkansas later this month.

Last few sessions of working on have seen these items done.

  7. INSTALLED 12V OUTLET
  8. INSTALLED 3 PORT USB (USB-A x2 USB-C x1) OUTLET
  9. CLEANED UP AND PAINTED SPARE WHEEL

They aren't getting any cheaper. I got this one running for 2000. Here's what it looked like when I towed it home.

That’s awesome! I lucked out 4 years ago and picked up a VEC 1946 cj2a for a trade on a junker AR and a Glock. The only caveat was that it was minus an engine and completely disassembled. It’s all there and I have since sourced a flathead L134. Me and my 9 year old will have at it soon.

They're a joy to work on for sure. Nice and easy. My suggestion to make life easier and cut back on gremlins. Invest in a new wiring harness. Don't spend money on REpro gauges except maybe a speedo, the other gauges will still look nice if you go with the basic low cost bosch gauges and will actually work longer than a month lol.
