What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Military pay - not why I joined up. Still loved every bit of my time in!

My cousin is currently the USAF Chief of Staff - lets talk about his retirement next year = set for LIFE!
But what a job he has until then. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I don't hate it when I'm thanked for my service, but I am very quick to respond that there is no need to thank me as it was my honor to serve!

 

Added a front camera via this

RFCC TTG2 Car Camera Control Switch System for Toyota Touch 2/Entune Front View Camera Adapter

amazing device/ module . Love that there are no additional buttons/ switches. It also makes the rear an anytime camera. Watch this you tube video (not mine) for an install and feature demo towards the end. Super slick mod.

Front camera is a must have, IMO, for third gen owners that actually offroad. I recently ran my most technical trail to date and was literally flying blind at the crest of steep uphills/ rolls.

 

In a few months I think I’m going to start searching for totaled 2020s to get an electric seat from!

 

Wow!! USAF Chief of Staff, what a nice retirement that will be. Definately allot better than my CMSgt retirement.

 

nice. Which camarera did you go with?

 

They're 6 bucks, not too worried about it, but thanks.

 

He's a mighty fine person that earns every dollar. He'll deserve a good retirement when it's all said and done. Not saying he deserves more than anyone else, only that he is due his.
He strived to do the best he could and it worked out for him. (The youngest ever to pin on 3 stars too.)

A whole lot better than what my retirement will be too, when it finally gets here.

 

Lol. No this is Riley my co- pilot when Mama's not on board. Otherwise he's the bombardier if you get my drift.

 

Holy shit - I have his book in my bookcase! It was recommended reading in the SCOA.

 

I'm dying to know......what specifically turned you off in the reviews?

 

I've got a double high one (not wrist pad obviously, not sure of original purpose) on the door arm rest. It raises my left elbow to just right height for resting and holding the wheel while cruising. Anyway, my point is that it has lasted two years of regular use and no issues from it yet.

 

This one:

seemed to be the to go from what I read. Heads up that same company does make one that has a much more flexible mount, but don't fall for that, it has a totally different wiring harness that doesn't work with the unit I used and listed above.

Honestly, that module is $30 cheaper than the anytime camera camera kit and IMO 10x more elegant of a solution.

 

I have the same issue, but I got one of these which helps, especially in conjunction with the bed mat. The ends fit right in the slot in the bed, and stick very well so you don't have to push on the inside of the bed too hard.

This mod has gotten a whole lot of mileage lately. I wish I knew who the OP was so he could get the credit for a really good idea.

 

just tried to look up the module on Amazon and it is out of stock...

I’m thinking I’m doing this as soon as it is available.... getting tired of getting in and out while wheeling... this would help mitigate that

 

Aw, he looks like a fine co-pilot. My co-pilot's name is Coda. She's young, and I'm just trying to get her not to run around the cab and shift gears while I'm driving. The truck is an AT, so it's wholly unnecessary.

 

Thank you.

Doggie seat belt attachment might work for you. No one thing works for every dog but it might help. Just a thought.
Yeah, changing gears on the fly could be dicey. Good luck Bud.

 

Doesn't everyone off road in a rental? I thought that was SOP.......

 

Many complaints about the seams splitting and the gel leaking out. I can just imagine the mess that would make.

 

Confused. I did this the second night of owning the truck. A month before I ever learned of TW. (arm pad , not knee pad. Though I did do one of those in a '77 Mazda RX-3SP way back when. Simple foam cushion - no "mouse" pads in those days - and it was for the right knee against the center console.)
