Thanks for the feedback everyone.
@PabloTX are you sure your wipers are factory? How old is your rig?
Less than 2 years and 19k miles. I'm the original owner. They were fine until the last four months or so.
I'm not sure why that link didn't pop up in my search. Thanks for sharing.
(The only search result was a thread from 2014)
I'm not impressed with the factory wipers (efficacy or longevity) and will be replacing them. The carriers/frame are fine, and I'd prefer to keep those and simply replace the rubber if possible with aftermarket.
Any recommendations?
Alright. Parts incoming (electrical connectors, multimeter, etc) so I’ll be tackling the electrical this weekend.
Any recommendations on a fuse/empty slot to power the switch? And yeah, threading the wire into the fuse box looks to be a PITA.
Thanks everyone. After getting home and looking at the harnesses and instructions, the power portion seems pretty easy. I’ll research the switching portion more to get comfortable with what’s involved. That’s definitely not as simple.
The area I’m confused on are the following checked boxes...
Thanks. I was just editing my original post to say that I thought more of a breaker style vs simply putting the included rocker switch somewhere under the hood would be ideal but that location definitely looks like it would be more than sufficient.
Is the install on that pretty simple? I’m...
Search didn’t yield any results so I’m hoping for help here. First, I’ll say that electricity and wiring aren’t my thing, but the included wiring diagram seems to make things as simple as possible. So I’m willing to give it a shot before turning this over to a professional.
I instead the...
Installed the ARB dual compressor and manifold on the Slee bracket. Instructions were adequate but a little unclear. Certainly would be easier a second time around. Had to play around with the location on the bracket a bit. Furthest towards the firewall was the only way I could keep adequate...
So I’ve had 4 1x2 8020 10 series “crossbars” installed in my factory bars (LC200) for a two months or so. Haven’t really had a chance to use it much, though I did space it out and test fit a Front Runner Double Jerry Can Holder, ground down some button head bolts to fit in the track and anchor...
Inserts.
I have since considered the full replacement, but my assumption is that without the inserts, the fit would be loose and no appreciable gain over the factory cupholders. With the inserts, the cup would not fully seat. Basically, it needs to be tapered. 3” at the bottom, moving to...
The problem I’ve had with current offerings, is that they’re pretty much a one size fits all solution (or in the case of those linked above, two sizes).
Something like Swiss200’s idea, with fewer/no moving or removable parts seems like a great idea. I just need to find something that is...
