What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's a Viair block. Be warned a lot of reviews stated that the threads are not tapped correctly and was no exception. Had to chase them like a MF.

 

Thanks! I just wish I had a wider lens so I could center up on the truck while keeping the whole rock formation in view...

 

Worked on the 3TPAM install today. Got nippy, but was wrapped up by dusk.

Cali Raised LED hidden bumper light bar and OEM style switch.

 

Genuine question here - no snarkiness intended:

I see a lot of people have mounts for their phones and for their iPads. What do you do with the latter? What’s the purpose of it being mounted in addition to your phones?

 

Actually these knobs are for a guitar amp and made of aluminum with plastic inner structure. I trimmed out the inside and glued the OEM knobs inside of them. Yes they are bigger than the stock knobs but when you need to make a manual adjustment with winter gloves on(I live in Ontario) you are able to actually grab the knob without touching the display screen. Here is a pic of the package and the finished install.

 

Not gonna lie those look comical but I feel your pain on those tiny OEM knobs.

 

Reasonable question. For me, I am behind the times on the phone (5c) but use it mostly for GPS, weather radar and calling/texting. Whereas, the iPad, has more storage to run music software and other apps such as GAIA, which benefits greatly from viewing on a larger screen.

 

Do you use the IPAD gps or secondary unit for GPS? Like the InReach?

 

Just phone and offline stuff on iPad. But incorporating a garmin product was sort of my thought with future setups on the dash kit.

As of right now, I’ve not much experience using GAIA software, but it looked useful for what I would be doing (trial running, truck-camping, off-grid living).

 

Nice, but do they go to eleven?

 

OME lift kit on Saturday, was quick, able to complete within 4 hours and still had a whole day

 

REFRESHING! Tacomas look so much better without black wheels.

 

Finally added rock sliders from C4 Fab. Next is a lift and tires.

 

In the time before touchscreens, aftermarket radios had a hundred teensy little buttons, and if you had gloves on, you'd end up pressing 5 of them at the same time. While OEM units might not have the greatest sound, at least the UI was designed for the real world.

 

started it from the living room with the N2DESIGNS remote start and drove it to work. ordered the diamondback cover for it last night, as well as remote starters for my father's tundra and GFs corolla from N2.

 

It's the Toyota app you can download when you buy a 2020. It enables you to remote start and lock etc.. It's okay to play with as long as it's free. I think they will charge $10 a month after 1 year. I won't subscribe to it if I have to pay for it. (iOS link)

 

Nice! I say tires first, you’d be surprised how capable the truck is and far a good set of tires will take you

 

Installed front and rear camera switch works awsome

 

<edit> - I didn't see the bit of text in there and thought it was a picture story.
