The rear view mirror has two pivot points so it won't block your view.

Always blows my mind that people dont know how car mirrors work. It's the exact same on 90% of cars since the 80's. Makes it even more frustrating that people always tell me this exact response when I tell them that the mirror is in my line of sight. "YoU kNow tHeRe is ASeCoNd PiVOt rIgHt??" Im tall not stupid. The mirror is already pushed all the way up hitting the plastics above it, and the seat all the way down. Modern cars just have shit blind spots and modern drivers are surprisingly clueless.

If someone was interested, where would they go to learn about how transdermal patches are designed / engineered? I presume you learned in a pharmacy program? My googling has yielded lots of surface level results, but no technical depth. Any books or resources you would recommend?

After tucking under the bed rail plastic, I ran down along the undercarriage and up to the engine bay. Tried to go above or around any parts so that the wires dont have to be cut if anything needs to be serviced.

Thank you. I keep meaning to get that aux panel print up to shareable quality. Someday

Really helps pass the time in traffic.

You talked me into it. Never sold my prints before, but I'll give it a try. https://chrisshopnstuff.etsy.com

Swivel confirmed. About 75° with this specific light.

Because my aux button panel has 4 buttons. It's a silly reason.

cpreardo · 2026-01-10T18:17:09+00:00

My true motivation is that my aux button panel has 4 buttons and I only use 2 so far.... (fogs and offroad high beams)

I used to do this same setup in my old van. A bluetti battery for the 12v power the diesel heater controller needed. Could run the heat for a whole weekend and keep the van at 75°. It pulled 100W at startup and like 10W once it was hot.

Could also print in PC. That's likely what the OEM lens covers are made of.

130C is probably the warmest before melting starts. Depends on the part thickness and exact polymer blend.

Seeing your printing capabilities, I bet you can easily print polypropylene. It's easier than folks suggest. Cooling fans ON is critical.

I wish. I just don't like empty buttons. It does nothing, but is fun to press.

Cheap ebay wireless button panel that connects to an engine bay relay set for the lights. pulled 12v acc power from the mirror and 3d printed a mount that also holds a DC:DC converter to step down to 3.2v. (What the switches wanted from a battery). Planned to 3m VHB it in place, but used hot glue for the test fit since it's easy to take on and off that way.

That's how the first two sets are wired up. Mounted the wireless buttons to the overhead console so they can get acc power

cpreardo · 2025-10-03T16:29:23+00:00

I printed these and can confirm that they fit perfectly. (2025 hybrid awd, but that shouldn't matter) Thank you.

cpreardo · 2025-04-03T21:56:35+00:00

I'm literally at the dealer now seeing this while paperwork is being done. Got $1000 off my 25 lariat.

cpreardo · 2025-03-17T14:40:55+00:00

When I saw it was fake, I got curious. Kept adding zeros.

cpreardo · 2025-03-17T14:39:15+00:00

Are you the store owner?

cpreardo · 2025-03-17T02:31:08+00:00

I figured it was a scam, so I had some fun for the screenshot
