What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed relentless fabrication high clearance rear bumper.

 

Nice. Waiting on my Victory 4x4 front bumper and still trying to figure out what to do for the rear. This one seems to check most of my boxes. Fold down table and getting the spare out from underneath are must haves.

 

They also offer a jerry can holder but I decided against it because I'm going to install a 5lb propane tank bracket there as the need for propane is greater than extra gas.

 

I've been considering either this or the giant (~11"?) Kenwood with a volume knob on it.

Used to have the Alpine Halo 9 and loved it for the most part.

Any thoughts on your experience with the unit so far?

My main complaint with the Alpine was only having a single USB in and single HDMI in.

 

I believe the Kenwood models are 10.1" and only have one USB and one HDMI as well. The key here is wireless AA/Carplay, allowing you to utilize the USB for something else. Alpine does not (AFAIK) have wireless Carplay/AA.

I like the unit. I use a JL VX1000/5i which has an integrated DSP, and has a separate master volume and bass attenuator, so I just keep the head unit at 35, and use the JL knob for the volume. The color is fantastic, the display is very sharp. I wish I was able to have a 70/30 split screen in AA, but I'm sure that will come in the future firmware updates. I'm used to the Pioneer UI - the last Pioneer I had was an AVH-X5800BS, and the UI is fairly similar (settings, etc). The DMH boots up pretty fast, and connects to my phone quickly as well.

There is a thread someone started last summer about this head unit here:

As far as installation goes, it's pretty straight forward. I do a ton of "pre install prep" so when it's time to actually get to it, I have everything laid out, soldered as needed etc.

 

Thank you for choosing us! The truck looks great!

The wife and I love going to Canmore as well! We are in WA state and it's a nice drive up. Can't wait to visit our neighbors to the north again. I especially look forward to the Brisket Poutine at the Grizzly Paw!

 

Nice to know. I did look, into finding someone to tune mine. The least amount of distance I found (online) is approx 130 miles one-way.
I'm not willing to travel the distance.
I'd love to try the tune, but, $400 to "flash" the computer? No effing way. I have a hard time swallowing that for such a simple procedure.

 

Recently installed the Undercover flex tri-fold cover. However the front panel blocked the header rail, which I was using to mount our bikes. Welded up some 6" extentions, and it back in business.

Try to get some guys together to get done at the same time. I organized a tune for 3 of us at the same time so everyone got a little discount.

 

Been lurking here religiously for a few weeks now.
My gf and i didn't want to buy a shack and go paycheck to paycheck in SoCal, so we decided to buy a new construction home in Houston, Tx (moving end of the year/early next year)

I wasn't about to pay $3000+ for UHaul truck or pay even more to have our stuff shipped so i decided to take the positive equity on my BRZ and use it to get Taco (so i could load stuff in truck bed and rent a trailer for $900)

Fri 7/2 - Sold my 2020 BRZ after work to Carmax and went home with a beefy check.

Sat 7/3 - Picked up 2021 Taco TRD OR 4X4 for "MSRP" ($40,763)

Sun 7/4 - Using some July4th discounts where applicable I ordered foglights, tail lights, SL1 Headlight bulbs, LED reverse bulbs, bed lights, LED interior lights, Tonneau cover, bed mat, Pop & Lock for tailgate, Meso key fob, dividers/organizers, blackout emblems, TRD Pro grille, and dashcam adapter (maybe more misc things)

will be looking into the a/c drain mod and get the windows tinted soon.

plan on adding actual performance/adventure mods during 2023 black friday sale after i recover financially


Lastly, it feels nice to go from being a small cockroach on the road to riding a dam boat where i can see everything!

 

did someone lose a shoe?

 

Finally installed awning

 

they're 'elephant' dunks
so it was just an inside joke to my gf telling her my car can carry an elephant now

 

Put one on the other side and you almost have a glider.

 

Congrats!

Supply must be improving if Temecula sold you that for MSRP. They always had a markup and weren't ashamed of it.

 

I had a chance to install my new prinsu rack over the long weekend. I spent some time at working today admiring it from the window lol

I’m gonna lower the wind deflector, it’s looking kinda high.

 

Dechromed the rear a bit. OEM black bumper caps along with OEM TRD Pro taillights. Next up, TRD Pro grill up front w/ raptor lights.... after that, who knows!

 

Temecula told me 2k for paint and 2k anti theft for 4k mark up
best they might be able to do was 2k over for these 2 BS add ons

1 week later Temecula agreed to sell the white one to me for MSRP since i was a few days away from getting MSRP from Santa Margarita Toyota (vehicle was in transit and they just took delivery for Cement one)
