What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing that! We can live vicariously through your trip!

 

I bought it while on vacation in Ocean City, Maryland. The bag had this website on it: https://stephaniekiker.com/collections/stickers-decals

 

More info on this thread https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-android-auto-apple-carplay-head-unit.609632/

 

It does have more features including carplay and android auto, its pretty much a tablet so you have alot of options to pick, PLUS its cheaper than the Alpine

 

I would have added a pic of the truck but to my knowledge they don't float.

 

Maybe for a little bit! But try explaining that to your insurance!

 

Thanks for the info. I may have to do something like that too.

 

I registered with Meso for the waiting list. There was a choice between “red or white” but it wasn’t clear. Red or white what?

 

Led’s. Red light or white light.

 

LEDs out and H11 halogen bulbs in.
I actually like the stock look again

 

I used the Car Solutions video interface. They provide all the connections for the front camera.

 

This hidden behind grill 9" Cree round with Drl, switchback amber & white flood & spot led.. 3 functions.

 

Yeah that’s totally hidden behind the grill

 

I kind of figured that’s what it meant, but I don’t think anyone would want bright red light inside their cab.
Unless they’re developing film!

 

I added this charging station in the LS truck bed cubby.

 

Shitty pics but FINALLY installed my wheels. Info is in my signature. No rubbing, thank god for the CMC and @Timbo's Customs

 

Did you add wheel spacers or is it just the offset of the rims?

 

I sold my Meso white maps (still like the white dome) to another TW member as they were too bright for me (literally flooded out the radio screen and phone screen). Went for standard LED replacement bulbs and am pleased.

 

No spacers.

 

Fixed the stupid Entune FM radio antenna for good- added a 2nd 2m NMO mounted VHF antenna to my roof rack that I can use as an APRS beacon antenna when not connected to the radio.

It works so well I get clean stereo and even digital HD signals for the first time from a FM station over 100 miles away!

To do this, you will need all four of these items plus a NMO VHF 2m antenna.

NMO mount on the rear bar of my Prinsu:



PL259 male from antenna to a female /female PL259 barrel to the PL259 male to RCA female antenna adapter. From there it goes to a male/male RCA antenna cord up to the back of the head unit is where the RCA female to Entune adapter is. I have extra slack in order to connect the antenna (tuned for 2m VHF) to my APRS radio when needed off road (don’t use APRS on daily drives):


100 miles away with HD reception, baby!
