What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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"

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.

Really nice work done on your install.

 

Nicer than my mod! Like the color match for blazing blue.

 

They are a great winter project for me. I'm still waiting for accessories for my 2nd build which will be wide body overland build. It's also sitting in box till winter.

 

My Rigid light coves arrived from Amazon...

 

Yeah my 2020 doesn't have the Advanced Tech package, so I have to add one myself.

 

Looks good, I was just thinking I may have to go offcenter with this grill. We will see when everything arrives.

 

How're you liking those wildpeaks? Are they the SL or E? Those might be the next tires i get...

 

I don't even have time to check my pulse! The only reason that I know that I'm not dead yet is because I keep showing up at work.

I did manage to color match my pro skid plate. Two coats MGM, two coats clear. Now all I have to do is find time to put it on and this heat isn't helping. It's brutal!

 

Dropped down the spare to deflate it for protection off-road, and sprayed FF in the winch mechanism.
Stole @vecdran's idea and took up the spare tire chain slack with a lock,

My iPhone gets hot and also charges really slow. Just saying!!!

 

Sun shade is an absolute must in Georgia. Cuts the heat tremendously and also saves the dash.
