I've been meaning to drop a DIY thread for non-premium users. So I plan to install a 14 inch screen upgrade along with 360 Bird’s Eye View Camera. I am not the best when it comes to taking videos and it's a DIY process I plan to carry out by myself so I’ll try to take a step by step pictures for this installation. It looks complicated but trust me, it's pretty much going to be an easy one. Just follow my step by step and you will be able to do it too. PS: I’m not a Pro but I’ve done a couple install of these on different vehicles with a few friends so I’m kinda familiar on how to install it. The not so easy part here would be to fish the wiring inside the OEM wiring route so it will be clean install and looks OEM as possible.

Last year, I helped a friend put a Miller Cat skid plate on his Tacoma. It took us about 30 minutes to do it by ourselves, even though it was an easy one-man job. Probably because of the beer breaks we had in between, haha.

We started off by lifting the truck. We then took off the weak cardboard piece with a wrench, put the skid plate in place, and fixed it tightly. That was it. The steps are as straightforward as this, and we only used simple tools. Pictures below are from last year after his installation.

Tomorrow, I'm set to help another friend set one up on his Tacoma, the same easy way. I've done it before, and I'm eager to see his truck get that tough bottom cover. The Miller Cat's strong build is great for trail-ready Tacomas, and I know he's really excited to nail this install, because it'd be his first DIY mod too.
