What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's not cheap but well worth it. At least for me. Super simple to set up. Attached everything within about 5 minutes. I purchased directly from them. > https://shop-hondogarage.com/collec...g-systems/products/un-holey-tacoma-dash-mount

 

I love the look of those tires. Is that the nitro ridge grapplers?

Crazy part is the mount itself is cheaper than the ram mount. Still love the idea though. I don't want my devices above the level of my dash. This is the first simple and solid looking solution I have seen. Gone though a bunch of phone mounts and places in just a few months. Fought with my current mount all day today. This is on my buy soon list now. Thanks for sharing!

 

No problem! You do lose a little bit of the A/C vent function (wont rotate or fully close) but it doesn't bother me as I dont fiddle with the vents much. You can set it up on any circular vent in the car and pretty much set the phone exactly where you want it using the RAM arms etc.

 

That's an important note. I do move those around a lot. May be worth the trade off.

 

I Rotated/adjusted my vent prior to install allowing for the vent to still blow on passenger (installed on vent right of head unit). The vent will still fully open but won’t close completely but I keep them open and never close anyways.

 

Yeah I pretty much left it exactly where I used the other day and set up the mount. I drove for about an 1 and a half today and used the A/C and it worked perfect for me.

 

Phone only blocks seek knob on head unit (never used it anyway)

 

What is that phone mount you have? Did you have to modify it or the dash trim to make it work?

 

Probably easier to use some spray or film tint?

 

without the sway bar is not bad at all. I was worried at first but with icon delta joints and coilovers it’s a bit stiffer anyway and when you hit holes with one tire now it doesn’t rock the hole truck. And you can really feel the suspension doing it’s job. And not to much body role either. If you have aftermarket suspension I would definitely take the sway bar off

 

I think one or the other needs to go. A little too crowded.

 

Any rubbing?

 

A "real" New England clambake would be interesting with the fire heated rock pit, seaweed, clams, mussels, lobsters, corn on the cob and a canvas tarp steaming the whole thing and keg beer. Maybe once I retire I'll look into it. Still places around New England that do the real deal. I'm a year and a half away (depending on my 401k) until I retire. Plenty of campgrounds up here to accommodate folks that travel. Could be one hell of an event and a good chance to meet one another, show off our rides and just have one heck of a good time! Live band wouldn't hurt either. I'll need to think on this some. Right now just talking out my arse but.......

Now I'm hungry!!

 

Why not use a Steelie mount? They make a suction cup that's awesome for the windshield and you can move it around to suit you.

 

Doesn’t look as bad when you back up (there’s a telephone pole right next to my truck) but most likely the Tacoma badge will be going

 

I have this mount and have it on the passenger side center vent, just so I wouldn’t lose that vent functionality closest to me. It actually works great from the further vent and doesn’t block the view of my radio or my dash.

 

would love to hear more about this!

 

Got a couple things done the other day, used my truck for actual truck stuff, then picked up a black exhaust tip from the dealer and installed my Morimoto HIDs. I made the brackets the day before they got here so when they showed up all I had to do was wore them up. I thought they would match the color temp of the Morimoto fogs but they are definitely not as pure white, since this I’ve had the bulbs on for a few drives and they have gotten better but still a little blue.

 

go with a 259 style mount and antenna. HRO sells them cheap. That is the setup I am going with this week.
