What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

didn’t know there was such a thing as a proper angle, but they are angled on the underside. no kick out but no plans to do anything too crazy.
the mall is pretty tame around these parts

 

I don't know, I just typically see listings claiming 20-30 degrees when it comes to these things. Usually that accompanies a design that appears to come up and hug the bottom of the body a bit more. As I said, really just asking to decrease my own ignorance not trying to insinuate these aren't real sliders.

 

Thanks!

Just used a Dymo 160 label maker off of Amazon, $25. I had a higher quality label maker tucked away in storage somewhere, so just ordered the 160. It works just fine.

And Dymo #18055 1/2" heat shrink tubing cartridge.

I've also begun using clear heat shrink tubing over the heat shrunk labels so the labels will resist weathering and wear. At some point I may need to re-do the switchpros labels, or just get them covered up with clear heat shrink while they still look decent enough.

 

We were all new to sliders once so no worries. Sliders come in many forms and angles depending on what you want/need them for. Some just want added protection and a functional step so low angle. The high angle ones are usually for people who are going through tighter spaces between rocks, trees etc that want a little more side protection. Some just want to have sliders. All depends on how they mount and the lower construction to consider them true sliders or not.

 

Hit five digits today

 

Made some more progress on the platform. Building mostly just to utilize more space with the cap. Not a lot of head room, but it would work in a pinch as a mini-motel.

if anyone has suggestions on auto carpet or padding, let me know!

 

After ordering all the cables to add extra usb charger on the dash and ordering the incorrect cables to relocate the media port I finally found what works for my 2021 and it was delivered after a couple of weeks waiting. Some people find all this rerouting unnecessary, but I love having the wireless CarPlay thingy in the center console and not visible. I also now have the media port repurposed as a fast charge and an extra double usb next to it.

 

I ended up getting a remnant from a local carpet store. Definitely doesn't look the best but totally functional. As far as padding goes just use a Thermarest when I'm sleeping back there.

 

Lol it’s a 2nd gen button setup but it’s interchangeable with the 3rd gens

 

Shift lights. I have a manual

 

Yessir and I have a manual

 

Got the bed mat from LaGrange Toyota for $80 w/ free shipping. Thanks for the knowledge TW.

 

Replaced my sport grill with a Pro grill.

 

Pro grill looks way much better.
Not sure if I'll switch mine, but it looks way better.

 

I received the mounts to mount the new iPad. Really happy how clean it turned out.

 

Also built a bed rack this weekend. Tall enough to still fit bikes on the tailgate

 

What mounts did you use?

 

Right on. Thank you very much!

 

Added a 3rd switch to the overhead console today, almost done with all the wiring for the front locker. More involved than I thought it would be, getting the compressor mounted, installing the air line, etc. Been keeping me plenty busy. Shoutout to Meso for the extra slot. Switch real estate is valuable, gotta make the most of what's available!
