What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Before I tuned my truck and upgraded some hardware (CAI and exhaust) I thought "COMA" was a more appropriate nickname for these trucks than "TACO"

 

I have used it for almost a year, yes it takes about 1 minute to start up, but other than that, it has worked as advertised.

 

Now that you mention it, that whine is gone. Listened for it on the way home this morning.

Sorry to hear of your loss... Losing someone close around the holidays is especially rough...

 

The disconnect issue is usually a firmware update issue. When the unit first boots, go into the settings tab and update the firware in the unit. That will typically solve the conductivity issues. If not, try the compatibility mode in the settings tab.

 

Awesome looking truck ! Where did you get the mountain decal from? I think it would look pretty good in white on my black taco...

 

I’m sure if you message them you could work something out so the shipping isn’t insane. @AL Offroad Products

 

Some Roam Adventure love for Christmas

 

New head unit, lol.
I covered my stock SR unit with my tablet. It has its own 4g connection. I rarely listen to the radio, and if I do I can use an app. I mostly stream and use the nav. Also when my Bluetooth obdii connector gets here I can use the Torque Pro app to monitor guages.
Pretty ghetto I know but it's an SR, gimme a break!

One downside is can't use the backup camera, but not a deal breaker for me. I'm old enough to remember when those were science fiction.
Update: found some Command brand picture hanging strips in black. So tablet is easily removed and can be put back on whenever I need the backup camera (hitch view when hooking up the boat).

 

I like it. Looks super clean. Are those black out vinyl decals on your vents?

 

Looks no different than a lot of aftermarket head units. Good job

 

Double sided 3M tape is the velcro of the 2020s!

 

How do you like the canopy? I see your in Oregon too. Where did you buy it? Thx

 

That’s awesome!

 

COMA was a good movie.

The SR vents are black from the factory for all years I think.

 

Nope, it's an SR I had very little to do as far as deleting chrome. I vinyl wrapped the cup holder trim ring and dipped the 4wd selector ring.

 

Thanks!

 

Yea, always wondered why people buy all these fancy trim packages and then spend more money to unfancy them.
