What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Any issues with car play not loading when you start the car? Read/watched some reviews saying that it wasn't worth getting.

 

Looking good! Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome

 

Every once in a while, but not enough that I wouldn’t recommend it. When that happens I simply disconnect it from the USB port and reconnect it. It finds my phone right away after that.

It has connected solidly every single day to and from work this week. Super happy with it.

 

Dumb question. Any reason I see everyone fabing a plate vs direct mount to the bay? My parts arrive in the next day or 2 so I’m interested in your ideas.

 

the tank is just a one gallon of Amazon from Firestone. Search “1 gal air tank” it will come up. I would suggest you get the viair one though. It has more ports. I was in a pinch and this one came next day.

 

I actually got 5 things done today...first was installing the infamous KTJO grab iron (I posted photos and comments in *that* thread!), then the tailgate lock from Sabellco (I had installed the hose clamp mod, but that was too kludgy for me), then a locking gas cap, also locking lug nuts and last I updated the JBL head unit software.

That is about all I have planned for now...unless and until I find out about some other mod that I don't yet know about.

Let me know how they work out.

 

Looks good.

 

This one cracked me up big time.

 

Glad to hear it, looking at one myself. You mind sharing link?

 

I installed my relays in a project box and then fastened it on top of the fuse box. There is enough slack in the power cables to be able to un-clip the fuse box cover and flip over to the side to access inside.

 

If there is a will, there is a way. I dug a little deeper and found (under another web site name but the very same people) the place where I got the original flaps for the GMC. They do not cater specifically to the ToyotER but I suspect a univerasl flap by them will fit. Nothing more than a phone call will or will not confirm. This used to be the Kaydenco mud flap but they rebranded their site to Duraflap

Best flap I have used over the years. Top quality, tough, and good looking. I have used that same set (pictured above) on four different GMCs since 2001. I still use them today on the GMC.

I should get the others delivered sometime within the next few days (custom order). I'll keep you posted. Give me a day to look the new ones over and now that I have found the ones I linked, I may get a set of those and these (molded fit ToyotER specific) would become available.

They seem to go on sale for $99 fairly often, so you might want to wait. Speaking of waiting, it ships from China, so it took about 2 weeks to get mine.

 

Just got my truck back from the shop and I am happy to report my driveline shudder/vibration is gone. I had a shudder in the rear end (could be felt in cab and seat) under low speed acceleration around 20,25,35 mph. My mechanic was able to replicate the problem. Flushed and refilled transmission fluid and so far so good. He didn’t say anything about whether there wasn’t enough or the quality was bad. I’ve read some real horror stories here about vibrations and stuff, happy it’s fixed for now.

 

Went and caught some fresh snow at Alta. Taco handled the snowy roads on little cottonwood canyon road like a champ.

 

Updated the Stereo Software

 

is this for JBL only?

 

Cleaner look, easily accessible. Just fun to make also, simple task but still fun to make things your own.
