Locally or Amazon?

[Rovin]

looks good , i have a similar kit

i bet he got it from amazon cause locally doesnt have 1shit & even if anybody brings them in they wanna make a pound\crown ...

Just did a diy change out of the radio unit on my car radio but the electrical tape to the harness has me feeling to use some of the more secure wire connectors I’m seeing on Amazon so I may just order something similar. Either connectors that need the heat gun or otherwise but I’ll check further on Amazon .

Steves in San Juan have connectors for like $1 but with the lockdown is pressure.

I ordered a kit on Amazon a couple weeks ago for that same reason, skybox playing the donkey tho. Loving the diy route that I have gone with car audio and slowly getting my tools.

[*KRONIK*]

Looking for some of those big ferrules tho

0g x2

8g x2

Already have the kit with the smaller ones and the crimp tool

what a good cheap grinder to buy just for sharpening ah 3line and some knives occasionally?
What kinda price dem ting does be? I fedup goin by meh mechanic to get stuff sharpen.

For d car audio why not use the conversion harness an dem so you would have no cutting or nothing to do.

The car audio harnesses are sometimes different so you would have to cut the wires anyway. Could get grinders for around $300 but once you not planning any heavy duty use that should be just fine

[daxt0r]

not really, unless it a really special deck its harness would be ISO standard. I have conversion harness for multiple manufactures and for multiple years and it changes and they sometimes use a different pinout (like prado) and never had to cut a wire yet at least in new model vehicles i normally pull dem jap decks out of.
Never believed in cutting harness and soldering, seen all to much decks grounded off or affecting other sensitive circuitry with this type of thing, Straight conversion or Tconnectors. I see a Xtrail that windows would come down/up randomly when deck is powered on/off and power windows would fold if you change station lol.

I have a Skil grinder from pricesmart that has taken a ridiculous amount of jamming and abuse for a cheap tool
Def recommended

if u doing a a simple deck replacement & d original dash harness has never been tampered with b4 then yes all u need to do use a appropriate harness adapter & wire it to ur aftermarket deck harness & simply plug n play but some cars with steering wheel controls or if u adding amps or reverse cams u will need to hard wire some stuff .... cars nowadays far more complicated than long time : look at dean five star car stereo on youtube

Yeah boy I have one of those Skill grinders from Pricesmart... a very brutal tool. I hate it but it does wuk. Trying to spoil it for about 2 years now to upgrade... but it wont die.

Just weekend I had to buss piece of concrete and I dont have a hilti so I use the grinder with a masonary cutting bit and slice up the concrete in 1" squares to make it easy to buss. The grinder wuk and never complain...

yea all those things like reverse cams and steering controls have conversion harness and tech to maintain stock. only an amp would require hard wiring as its external accessory wired outside the car's electrical. That being said saw an amp signal on line causing headlight and window actuator issues due to sensitive CAN so yea new cars the more tech meaning you really shouldn't be cutting an soldering.

Has anyone bought the Total cordless impact wrench or EMTop impact wrench? Any reviews on any of them if anyone bought them.

Anybody ever bought those oil filter cup removal kits?
The one with a variety of cups to take of oil filter. Like 20 sumthing cup.
I have a cup for mom NZE121 that works perfectly. But bought 2 wrong cups for the Hilux oil filter removal.

Sad day in the shop, my spirit level fell off my workbench and broke clear through... :/
Shopping for new ones now.

Not uncommon in older, UV exposed plastics. I had a pair of shades for years with no issues, and one day a 3 foot drop broke it .

Junk.

get a 3 jaw styled, those work good on the hilux, if u have a old piece of seatbelt you could make the belt styled one also, cups tend to slip a lot, doesn't fit with all filters etc, its good for OEM filters like working in a firm or something.

ill post up a picture of my belt one, made it in like 5 mins.

[Ted_v2]

[Ted_v2]

the belt was roughly stitched on the inside, two loops around to keep the socket from spreading and assisting the belt from being removed, did like 20 oil changes with it so far, all worked fine, working from ph8A frontier/ranger/laurel to tiny qr20 oil filters. occupying the same space as a wheel socket in my toolpan.

Made mine from 1/2" square steel, same principle as yours just mine longer about 12" I turn it with an adjustable wrench. Mostly used for hilux vigo and Rocco models and grand vitara filters. The grand vitara filter location is a PITA I find to take it out

[pugboy]

how does it work ?
