HDJ81 reverse beeper removal

[asutherland]

I posted quite a while ago in this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/263956-hdj-81-beepbeepbeep.html

My truck beeps while in Reverse. INSIDE the cab, not outside. Yes, you read right... INSIDE the truck. This is OEM. I assume you USA guys don't have this "feature"? Lucky you. Try backing up a mile down a trail, mountain on one side, cliff on the other... all while listening to BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP...

Toyota made it easy to get to the beeper. Grafted to the back side of the gauge cluster. Doh. But finally, I was in there for another reason, and took the extra time to remove the cluster and rip off the damned beeper.

Still trying to figure out what I want to do with it. Originally, I thought it'd be about the size of a deck of cards, so I was considering bringing it up to the lake next time we go and doing some target practice with it. But unfortunately it's way too small (at least for me...) ...wait, that's what she said!

I may video myself backing over it with the 3,000 KG truck. Maybe I'll Fedex it to my worst enemy. Not sure yet.

Atta boy!! I say burn it..... nice and slow.

Stick it in a vise and slowly crush it or use a BFH.

I need to do this. I had to back down a rather long trail to recover someone yesterday.

F'n A!

Wish I would of done this when I installed the locker lights....

Good to know how that's done, hasn't really bothered me much yet, but who knows down the road.

Better yet, post it up for sale for $50...someone will actually want it since it is JDM, and you profit.

I've always found this to be strange. Not that I mind unloading the JDM crap I don't want for stupid amounts of money.

That sir, is the most evilest option yet!

I am also considering hooking it up and hiding it in one of my Jeep buddy's trucks when they're not around. Mwahahaha.

I found a pair of JDM toe nail clippers under the seat when I imported the truck. Was considering throwing them up on ebay for $59.95 + shipping. Free toe nail included.

All I found was a pile of yen coins and some unreadable gum wrappers.
