What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Received my super serious rock crawling lights today:

 

Where'd you get that?

 

Installed the Joying Head Unit. So far so good. Carplay works wired or wireless just a little finicky and trying to figure out the sweet spot, backup camera works, had to install the GPS puck but tucked that under the dash as I could not get the one in the car to work with the GPS part suggested. Thanks to this forum with all the tips made the swap easy.

 

Almost looks OEM, great Install man I love it

 

How you liking the Owl?

 

I have had it over a year and its been pretty good and easy to send yourself a clip of things that happen on your commute. I like that I get notifications when something happens. I had a few people put their faces up to the glass or try the handles and it recorded that and sent me a notification. Overall not bad, but not the clearest getting license plate numbers.

 

Fully agree. You don’t see many with them. I love mine

 

Short wife wanted some steps so I took a shot at these EAG ones I found on eBay because I like the look of them. Not bad for $250

 

I did the MESO 4x4 chrome delete ring. (And semi-patiently waiting for the Flip-Fob key.)

 

I like those! Do you have a side shot?

haha me too. Feel like I’m waiting my life away on Meso stuff to either come out or come back in stock

 

How was the install? Been looking at this head unit for a while now and deciding if I should pull the trigger.

 

I followed the one thread that went over the install. I bought the brackets and took 1/2 inch off and fits great. It was 100% plug and play. I downloaded the agama skin and that makes it way better. If your used to Android, it’s not bad to setup. The Rear camera video was just a little tricky but figured it out. I’m using it for Apple carplay and it works you just have to turn off the WiFi on the phone and make sure Bluetooth is connected and launch the zlink on the head unit. I would assume it’s easier with android auto. Overall I like it. All steering wheel functions work except mute and car info is all on the unit. The only thing I’m trying to figure out is how to get the car registered temp to show in Fahrenheit and gallons instead of liters and such.

 

Finally had the balls to cut my bumper a 2nd time for the SSO stage 2 wings.

 

Do you have the link to the thread I’ve been trying to search for the install and can’t seem to find it

 

new shoes

 

Probably so.......

 

This is the first time it hasn’t gone as planned...... just disappointing......
