Looking good. I like the hidden hitch. I should be getting the rear of my truck completed soon.

chewychevy67 · 01-07-2021, 05:16 PM

That flush license area does look much clean and smoother.

TA_C10 · 01-18-2021, 12:58 PM

It's supposed be 67* today. This might happen... See how far I get.

Update - Backup Camera

Everything has been hardwired and routed for a while, been working with siggy on 3D parts. Ended up using the customized original metal part from OE style mirror for now. It works really well from what I can tell, haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet. But right now it's working without the antennae connected to transmitter under the truck(It's 2.4Ghz wireless from camera to rear view mirror) so I expect the image quality to enhance and be a little quicker turning on/off, but it's already really good. It's hard wired to the reverse lights switch on column. Between the reverse lights and camera LED's it's got a ton of light at night.

a note on pics and video below, I still have the screen protector on so it's not very clear looking.

Here you can see my wire routed out of the roof panel is hidden by the mount, all you see is the wire next to arm.

And here is a quick video I did showing it coming on and off putting the transmission in reverse and back to park.

Put that lawn mower away! It's January

**MDPotter** · 01-19-2021, 12:39 PM

That came out very clean - nice work.

LOL, I have grass in the backyard that is year round man(tall fescue blend). It's pretty, but it sucks cuz Texas doesn't get cold enough for it to go dormant.

But really, it was just out cuz of my small garage and it comes out everyday so I can work on truck....

Thanks man. I just hope for longevity it lasts for a long time. Otherwise I hopefully have it setup in such a way I can pull new wire for newer "replacement" if required.

**First c10** · 01-20-2021, 12:07 AM

Nice work. I like that mirror ��

**derotoreut** · 01-22-2021, 11:31 AM

Good work. That mirror is pretty cool.

TA_C10 · 01-22-2021, 02:40 PM

Thanks guys, hope it is a good one and lasts long time!

I will leave these here for fun. Bragging rights goes to the first person who guesses which hand I am holding up(left or right) LOL.

siggyfreud · 01-23-2021, 05:05 AM

Should be the left, right?

**SIXTY9** · 01-23-2021, 06:25 AM

I guess the right, reason being the lettering is backwards on the tailgate.

TA_C10 · 01-24-2021, 12:16 PM

Sixty9, winner winner, c10 dinner. It took me a while looking at it myself before I realized what was off. They did the software right in the camera so it's exactly right for a rear view look backing up. You never know when it comes to aftermarket, those little things make or break the product.

I got the hood primed last weekend too, glove box door, tailgate hinges and handle. It took forever for that primer to dry sitting outside in driveway at 65* for about 2 hours, then temp dropped to around 55* by the time I put it away around 8pm.

So finishing up in sealer and final paint I need at least 75* so when it drops in temp it will dry properly. Might have to rent a booth. And I really don't want to spend the money on that...

TA_C10 · 03-27-2021, 05:43 PM

It's been a while, out of town for few months, but wife told me to go for it. Happy birthday to me. I can't wait to get this installed. Oh, and while Ive been gone my plates showed up, it's legal after 2.5 years. Boom.

Southpaw69 · 03-27-2021, 06:12 PM

Nice, good to see you getting back at it!

**MDPotter** · 03-29-2021, 09:27 AM

That's an upgrade that I've got on my wish list. Should make for some more "spirited" driving.

jjzepplin · 03-30-2021, 08:07 AM

Interested in how this performs. I have a stock posi in my 72 Blazer and have never had one before. My 2014 has a G80 locker with 3.42 gears and is a blast to drive. I know the G80 is a ticking bomb but for now is fun. This may be in my Christmas wish list.

TA_C10 · 05-21-2021, 11:46 AM

Finishing up the hidden hitch, my new extended tongue arrived. It's perfect length at 16".

Sweet plates brother. Did you get the Detroit locker installed yet? I can't wait to get a ride in this truck!

**Kronald_70GMC** · 05-22-2021, 01:11 AM

Looks awesome!

Not yet man. I've decided to go ahead and repaint cab forward soon. Ugh. But the locker will be just after that.

Scurry67 · 05-28-2021, 12:23 AM

Awesome update. Have you been driving it much?

TA_C10 · 05-28-2021, 12:32 AM

I drive it all the time now. I can't help it...
