What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Tried with multiple iPhone 12 pros. The problem is with pioneer wireless receiver. It’s hit or miss if you get one that works. I tried 3 that failed. Even updated the head unit software. But android auto works fine. Just a weird flaw they have to work out at pioneer.

 

I wish the pioneer worked for me. It’s the best looking and has so many features. It looks very clean with no dials. Just like an iPad or Tesla dash. I just really needed it for wireless CarPlay, so I went with Kenwood.

 

We have a lot of technology invested in AN and NAS qualified fasteners!

 

Got the UHF antenna and Jeep mount bracket. Test fit on the alpha looks like it will fit perfectly.
Need to reroute wire loom on interior side of cross bar and then will mount antenna on that side.

(Disregard zip ties. They are temporary)

 

You won't regret it. I too had a little screw-you money kicking around recently and picked up some Seat Jackers. What a difference.

 

I've really gotta do this. I used to be the guy that would dump a couple grand into my systems. Then I got myself a family, lol. And a Tacoma with too many other fun things to do to it but the stock audio system kills me. It reminds me of the OE stereo in my bugeye impreza .

One of the things I look forward to the most when I drive my wife's Ascent is the audio. It's not the best, but gotdayum it's night and day compared to the truck.

Once I financially recover from the RCI groupbuy and my recent wheel/tire upgrade, this is next on my list.

 

Same for me. Back in my younger years, I dropped thousands into my system. Now, with mortgages, daughter, college funds, not so much. Every free penny just goes for the next mod, and the stereo hasnt been much of a priority. One of these days, I'll at least do a speaker upgrade and maybe a sub.

 

Added these bad boys today

 

Let us know how you like em, I'm kinda on the fence about them.

 

I raised the back of the seat and for what little comfort is to be found in the small seats, it makes a difference. For me, I could not imagine raising the front, but mileage varies.

 

So this is the view and weather I had to deal with when I arrived at Tahoe.....the struggle is real.

 

Beauts! Love some hand laid float aids.

 

Geez-O-Pete-us-Mcgeetus...Nice view. God works well. Thanks for sharing.

 

Sand Harbor?

 

Been working on a camper shell build
Still need a few more days to finish

 

Does this bad boy fit on top of the Amazon console organizers? The ones that go down inside of the console?

 

Sand Harbor! I guess you have been there??

 

No, sorry. I just used the heaviest holding outdoor double sided tape, and three pieces of angle aluminum I cut off of a section I got from Lowe’s. I can’t remember what size Aluminum I got, comes in all different sizes, I measured how much room I had in the scoop and got the largest size that would fit. I linked to 1inx1in, but it might be a little bigger then that. Sorry, lot going on this week, or I’d take the scoop off and open it back up for some pics, and measurements. I linked to the lights I used, yes expensive, but freaking bright, and I’ve had them over 9 months now with zero issues. Around 15,000 miles, and I always have them on cause I like the way they look. Hardest part was making sure to stick them so the slats of the scoop opening weren’t blocking the lights.I’ll see if I can’t snipe some pics through the slats tomorrow to give you an idea of what I did. Cheers!

Yup, I’ve been SUPing there.

We got there early enough one time that no one else was on the water and the water was flat. My dog was peeing on a tree before we got in the water as the ranger came up to me and told me that my dog can’t pee on the tree. I remember telling him “there is nothing I can do now.”


This was back in 2018, there was smoke in the air from surrounding fires.


The water was beautiful though.
