Tennessee80's latest activity

I have a ECoffroad unit in my Cruiser and the Hamilton replacement screen in our LX. Both are great, if my ECoffroad ever goes out I’ll go with the Hamilton just because the customer service is great and they are located in NC. The one thing I...

It's not really any electrical work, just unplug A, plug into B, plug C into A's old spot. Taking things apart is the bit that requires patience.

Defn take a crack at it. It’s pretty easy. Taking the dash apart is a little intimidating if you’ve not done that before. But it’s totally doable. The wiring up part is dead simple. Check out the install videos, they’re really good. I say this...

Looks like (after reading this thread) the Hamilton is the way to go. I may try to install it myself if folks on here have done it. I don’t like electrical, but if it’s straightforward, I’ll take a crack at it

OK folks, I am about to pick up a 2008. I want to upgrade to an Apple CarPlay system What’s my move? I will likely get a local installer in the Nashville area to do the work. Thanks for any suggestions!

Even the Deathstar©️ had warm tungsten style lighting.

Hello gents. Just got 35s installed (Toyo RT Trails 35/12.5/r17). Can I learn the secret handshake?

Sure they do, you just have to bug the ever living crap out of them for half a year to convince them to make it for you haha.

I have since deleted the roof rack and door mouldings. Absolutely transformed the appearance of the truck, IMO. :D

Lordy guys don't scare them off! :beer:

did this sell? @KZN130Alabama

Wish I was closer!

KEN IS THE MOTHERFǓCKING MAN…. I’m grateful and lucky to have him 3.5 hrs away…. Every time I learn something new from him. The best of the best. Someone who says who he is and actually backs it up. Very rare in our world. Worth every...

And still doing it ;) here in 2025 I'm now up in Prescott, AZ at 5000 feet elevation and love the weather......and all the mule deer and raccoons that sometimes visit. I will be turning 69 next month and still as strong as an older ox. I...

Check your brake light fuse.

OEM fabric seats and door panels are one of the biggest interior improvements imo.

Got a new driveshaft. Its from a 3rd gen 4runner with a double cardan joint. Had to get it shortened by about 6". Then i adjusted the upper control arms for the new pinion angle, loosened and tightened control arm bushings at the new ride...

Here's my 1975 on the day I got her. She used to belong to John Denver, but now she's all mine. I was not a big fan of yellow, but now I am 100% in love. As others have stated, it is just such an iconic looking vehicle.

If you use the double nut method (see video below): using a ratcheting box wrench help things move faster. Or, if you want quick and easy you can use a stud remover (socket) and an impact wrench, zzzipp and they're out. If you don't have an...

I guess it's finally time to get a build thread going since I just hit two years with the 80. I've been thinking for a long time what I would call this thread. Two years ago I picked up an 80 that needed more work than I realized. On the way...

Still running great…turbo making the truck feel more modern on the highways…added kingpin lighting in the interior with red and white illumination…been patrolling properties in bone dry florida …truck is close to perfect for my needs…FMIC and...

Still waiting on spacers but…

The gray 40 with the hood up flopped and we had just recovered it and we’re getting ready to winch it back on the trail.
