What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Here’s one you’ve never seen before... I installed grille lights
Had to do 4 because of the front camera

 

Welcome to the forum from Eastern North Carolina!

3 or 4 lights. Doesn't matter. Either is OK. I've even seen 6!

 

How much vinyl is needed to cover the roof?

That's a black truck

Oh man, that looks great! Still have both white and blue in my cart, now leaning towards the white.

 

Where did you find the little taco?!

 

Looks great! Welcome to the forum!!

$134.68 was the cost for me in May.

 

Looks awesome. I’m on their site and I don’t see a button to buy it. Maybe Safari isn’t a supported browser

 

No more than a truck that actually came from the factory painted black

 

I did the same thing... just scroll to the bottom and click on the same picture item link. It’s weird

 

awesome thanks

 

I was concerned about that but I haven't noticed a difference. My new $60 sun shade (Can't remember the brand and too lazy to walk outside) has made all the difference in the world as far as interior heat is concerned. Also getting ready to tint the front windows. That will help also.

 

Dunno. I'll ask my wrap buddy when we get together next week to tint the windows and install the door sill protectors. I do know he orders exactly the amount he needs for each job so it must be fairly expensive. Sign vinyl on the other hand must be cheap. He stocks a ton of that.

 

Can you read license plates in the video that it records? I love the size of the Mini, but the video resolution would be my only concern.

 

Hate to see a year old vehicle get damaged. Hope all were ok.

The front passenger side small overlap is the weakest but acceptable crash worthiness area of the 3rd gen.

I haven't tried. But the videos of moose that were 150 yards up the road from me were pretty clear. This video indicates that plates can be read:

 

Lots of ways to explore, search "remove wheel locks without key"

I built it.

Mine is still untouched sitting in a box on the shelf.

Maybe some day I’ll have the time.

EDIT: Im considering an enduro trail runner for the chassis, but will look more seriously when I start the build.

 

Another option is to buy if you don't already have one is a 12v to 5v converter. You can follow the wires from the mirror connector to the over head console. I relocated my power converter from my previous vehicle which was connected to the 12v lighter port. The cable is long enough to go around the door and window frame area. Alternate to this is to unplug the connector and check the 12 pin connector for 3 wires. Ground (white/black), 12v constant on (blue) and 12v switched (tan). If you buy a 5v converter make sure you get a 90 degree if needed or the correct mini or micro USB.
