Recently, Stinger has added a 4 camera under body camera kit (IIRC about $700) that is said to work separately from the high 10 or in conjunction with it. (If I am reading the sales pitch right.) Apparently it could connect to a rearview anytime mod / stock system (it would be somewhat useless on stock), or to a single channel of the high 10 and allow single camera, or split screen viewing. IMO a high 10, or other mod that allows up to 4 camera feeds with backup cam, forward grill cam, the 4 channel stinger underbody (with one forward, one rear, and 2 under the mirrors for blind spot), plus an aftermarket birds eye 360 camera system (which can be acquired from Amazon for ABOUT $200) would produce some amazing visibility on a truck that is otherwise a bit lacking in the visibility department.
Hi Chloe. I think you already have your cameras positioned optimally - I suggest leave them. As usual, love all your content and adventures. Take care and looking forward to your next vids.....
This is really cool! Yeah I personally tried to get the camera package on my TRD Off Road, but my dealership couldn't get that package without also including the leather seats, sunroof, etc.
Great ideas and video! Not sure where you are...if you're in Long Beach area, come by Toyotafest in Long Beach Saturday. Would love to say hey to you in person!
You could install the side view cameras still with your current camera setup! Install a PAC VS41, and run your current reverse camera into the priority #1 camera input. Side cameras into camera #2 and #3. Wire your reverse trigger to priority #1's trigger, and trigger #2 and #3 to turn signal wires. Then connect the video output to your Heigh10 reverse camera input, and the monitor trigger from the vs41 to the reverse trigger of the Heigh10. Now it will display the reverse camera as it used to, but will add turn signal activated side cameras. You would still be able to access the reverse camera with the on screen icons. The VS41 Has built in timer/buffer to it can take the pulsing turn signal inputs just fine. The old school method was to use timer relays, not anymore😊 You could even use this to extend any of the 4 Heigh10 camera inputs. Make a bed mlunted cargo cam, a down facing front or rear bumper cam,etc. Just use a momentary switch to activate them! If you did one vs41 to each Heigh10 input, thats 16 cameras!😂
For the anytime front and rear cameras you installed before, does the switch still work for the front and rear cameras? I upgraded my head unit to an aftermarket radio and was wondering if those functions still worked.
I literally have the same model year and color as yours, and I am embarrassed as to how much more utility that you've been able to eek out of your ride than myself. Once my truck is paid off (Apr. 2024), I will be doing mods left and right with gusto. Thanks for being an inspiration for all Tacoma users, and fingers crossed, I will be able to resist trading my faithful Taco for the Gen 4 model that is about to be released. 😉😉
I pre-ordered a Heads Up Display from Hudway last year. I like that it links to my phone with Bluetooth and can be connected to extra cameras. There is a front camera that uses infrared/night vision to see through fog and snow. It also has extra side cameras available, so when the right turn signal is activated the right side camera image appears on the HUD. Your underbody camera helps if you don't have a spotter. It would be great if you could connect a "T" fitting and longer hose to your windshield sprayer. Then DIY a small metal bracket and install an aftermarket spray nozzle pointed at your underbody camera to remove mud/dust. You could adjust the camera angle by making wedges out of sheet metal (even a pop can) folded over and drill holes for the screws or bolts to go through.
@hammer7338 I know they had production delays because the subcontractor building the lens couldn't deliver, and they had to find another manufacturer. Then there were issues with production during quarantine but I have been getting email updates and last week they said my order is at a delivery hub in the United States and I will receive it in the next 2 weeks. I think I may have actually ordered it 2 years ago, but I really want the infrared/night vision camera so I can see the road in a heavy snowstorm.
Any recommendations about a drivers side grab handle? It drives me nuts they don't have one stock and I struggle getting in / out. How do you deal with getting in and out and do you recommend a specific drivers side grab handle? My 2015 sport had one and I miss it so much!!!
Such a useful tool! Thank you but I will never buy anything from tacomabeast again. Their customer service is the worst I have come across in a long time. Better off buying from Tacoma Lifestyle or Running 4 Tacos. Thanks again Chloe!
She already has 2 trucks and said she would never sell the Tacoma. So no, she can't afford a new truck. I have been waiting forever for the Landcruiser to get out of the shop. I wouldn't be surprised if she has a friend that buys the new Tacoma. th-cam.com/video/X04Z1AAU_qc/w-d-xo.html
@@aerynlovell4754 whats wrong with ur land cruisier. maybe the ew tacoma will be that amazing like the enw tundra might be worth selling the 2 trucks. then again most subs here prob wont be gettig it lolol
@@randomrazr Some people get emotionally attached to their vehicles. Even if a new vehicle has new technology and perhaps "better" features not all decisions are based on logic.
love this as i am doing a huge project on my 2nd gen, cause i am so sick and tired of putting phone on passenger seat. cause no where to mount it yet mean i have a tech deck but no phone holder and want and front cam and to move the back up cam from the mirror to radio. which i need gps and wireless android auto then while i need to do that but i have a question maybe you can help how do i lower or remove the panel to get to the extra switch spots near the headlight switch thank you for this i appreciate you
Picking up my 23 OR MT this weekend :) Just started digging into your channel. Great content! Would definitely like an update on the HEIGH10. Did the HEIGH10 improve resolution from the stock camera(s) at all? Or is resolution limited by the cameras themselves? Did you ever consider the Sony XAV-9500ES Plug & Play over the Stinger? 4th Gen looks pretty nice! 14” infotainment?! Grab the popcorn! Definitely think it would be wise to wait a couple years before making the leap. Hope your feeling better!
Congrats on your new truck! And as far as I can tell, the resolution on the rear camera (my only factory one) is limited by the camera and not the screen. The aftermarket 1080p cameras come up nice and clear. I saw the Sony XAV-9500ES on a truck last year at SEMA, and I personally didn't like the way it mounted compared to the HEIGH10, and some of the UI as much. That was just my very first impression though, and it would be cool to do a comparison video on the two!
Very nice!! Did you say how long it took to install? I might have missed it but just so I'll know how long it will take me (CK time*1.75= my time)!! Thanks Chloe
😀Great Video! Looks like a Stinger Heigh 10 is in my future --- I do have a question: I currently have an AnyTime camera, with the front/back switch installed in the dash. Does the AnyTime camera install with the Heigh 10 system smoothly? (It maybe in your video that I missed). Thanks again for another great mod!
I already have and use the anytime front camera i don't see me adding more to see underneath the truck as cool as it looks. the front camera will have to be a good enough replacement spotter in my opinion. It doesn't look like you do anything near technical enough to need this either.

That'd be insanely cool!
Chloe you have got to upgrade to the Gen4 Tacoma now. To make new fresh content on that platform.
I agree it will definitely help the channel grow exponentially
Gen 4 looks garbage compared to 3
Hi Chloe. I think you already have your cameras positioned optimally - I suggest leave them. As usual, love all your content and adventures. Take care and looking forward to your next vids.....
Anyway to do a quick video or short on how you hooked up the anytime camera? Still have the switch? Simple plug in? Thank you
Love your videos! You make it all look so easy to upgrade. Thx!!
OK! This is pretty epic!
Would appreciate a current update video on the HEIGH 10.

Not perfect?? You very much are! Lol

When you getting a prinsu roofrack?
Game changer.Needs to be your next mod.

That’s a smart way to go about it! Thank you for your comment 😊😊😊
How has the video been looking since driving around? I have always thought about this idea but never implemented it
I have the 22 pro, and wondering if I would be able to install these and still use the original radio, if you know?

Did you actually get your Hudway? They have been ridiculous about shipping them..

Where do you mention it works with factory head units? You mention it then just go on about the Stinger.
Hi . I just want to ask why my car start making noice if i turn on a/c and smell like rubber
I would like to know the type of watch you are wearing? why digital not mechanical?
What wire do you have to strip back to mirror the image on the cameras?
love your videos!!..
less than two days for the New 2024 Tacoma.. v6 or turbo 4?? what do you think. I'm saying turbo4

Your videos are great! Very helpful! Question, how should I clean the interior of my Tacoma? Specifically, SofTex seats... maybe a new video idea?
Such a useful tool! Thank you but I will never buy anything from tacomabeast again. Their customer service is the worst I have come across in a long time. Better off buying from Tacoma Lifestyle or Running 4 Tacos. Thanks again Chloe!
Love your videos! Finally got my 2019 Tacoma this weekend., Have watched your for a while and learned so much, Thanks!
are u gonna upgrade to the new 2024 tocoma?
She already has 2 trucks and said she would never sell the Tacoma. So no, she can't afford a new truck. I have been waiting forever for the Landcruiser to get out of the shop. I wouldn't be surprised if she has a friend that buys the new Tacoma. th-cam.com/video/X04Z1AAU_qc/w-d-xo.html
We all need to resist doing so, unless there are serious compelling reasons to make the upgrade.
Since it hasn’t been revealed, I’m not sure what to think of it

Great job on the install and vid!! Stereo looks awesome
I don't own a Tacoma (yet) but I'm doing this on my G Wagon, thanks for sharing!
OK your pretty.
Yes make an update videos of the radio
love this as i am doing a huge project on my 2nd gen, cause i am so sick and tired of putting phone on passenger seat. cause no where to mount it yet mean i have a tech deck but no phone holder and want and front cam and to move the back up cam from the mirror to radio. which i need gps and wireless android auto then while i need to do that but i have a question maybe you can help how do i lower or remove the panel to get to the extra switch spots near the headlight switch thank you for this i appreciate you
Hi 👋 Chloe. I Learn from you and Your Channel. You’re Awesome 👏!
Hi Chloe , can you share what is the fuel consumption of your Tacoma ? Thanks 😊
Keep them away from the exhaust!
nihao Chloe, xiexie ni Chloe
Great Video!! The cameras are super cool!! Get better so Young Lady

cameras wow.
wo ai ni
could you make a video regarding your thoughts on the new 2024 tacoma redesign once its unveiled from toyota this week ?
Whenever I can get a chance to test drive one/experience it in person, I will!
Very nice!! Did you say how long it took to install? I might have missed it but just so I'll know how long it will take me (CK time*1.75= my time)!! Thanks Chloe
I love this channel !!
I need these!! great video
💛🧡❤️
Do you have to disconnect the rear facing undercarriage camera when oil change needs to be done?
No, it's far back enough (and the wires are out of the way) from the oil filter/drain plug
😀Great Video! Looks like a Stinger Heigh 10 is in my future --- I do have a question: I currently have an AnyTime camera, with the front/back switch installed in the dash. Does the AnyTime camera install with the Heigh 10 system smoothly? (It maybe in your video that I missed). Thanks again for another great mod!
Yes, I was able to port it over 😊 The Stinger is great for cameras
Could you explain port? I have the anytime camera also. Maybe a quick video? Thank you
@@ChloeKuoso you’re able to switch back and forth from front to back view with a switch rather the system itself?
What'd you do with the excess wire? Roll it up and hide it or cut it?
I ended up zip tying, trimming to length, and leaving the excess behind the radio 😊
Wasssupppppers
when was the last time you removed the bed liner, the whole thing. it could hold water and rust if not checked from time to time?
The entire Tacoma bed is actually made out of composite plastic! There is no bed liner
@@ChloeKuo thanks for answering, that's good then no maintenance
Wow, you’ve finally run out of mods. Who needs this?
I already have and use the anytime front camera i don't see me adding more to see underneath the truck as cool as it looks. the front camera will have to be a good enough replacement spotter in my opinion. It doesn't look like you do anything near technical enough to need this either.
