What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It’s hit or miss. There is a new (finished in early 2020) road that cuts my commute to work down by about 10 minutes. The new maps doesn’t have it.

 

If I could find a reasonably priced head unit that has CarPlay/AA, I will be replacing the stock garbage. I just don’t see myself paying $1k for a new head unit solely for that feature.

 

Well I feel like a dummy. wiped it down again with alcohol then some elbow grease with the window cleaning wipe and it seems to be resolved.

 

I think you were right. I was just like "oh shiiiiiiii.. did I ruin it?"

 

You're not a dummy. Alcohol doesn't degrade glass. Ask any barkeep. It was likely sap. Good that it's gone.

 

also, the display is definitely not updated. The only thing this really did was give me maps, and give storage space so I can access stuff like the maintenance app.

 

BC still has cartons, no bags here

 

Oof. If I didn't have AA I'd be looking at replacing that garbage no matter the cost with OEM or an aftermarket head unit. $1,000 is pretty steep though.

 

Yea man… it is eventually coming, but I am going to figure out my suspension, wheels, tires, subwoofers, tonneau, and maybe even bumpers first. I will get AA, but it’s wayyyyyy down the priority list for me haha

 

Spent an hour or so trying to troubleshoot why my bed lights aren't working. couldn't find any obvious loose/broken connections. pulled the ground and cleaned it and the frame around it. followed my wire from the lights to the battery as best as I could, couldn't find any breaks. gonna step back and think about it before I just go and pull everything out. Not the best way so spend time with my taco.

 

Thanks man. Appreciate the response

Where do you store them?

 

Anyone else using a WeBoost?

 

In the cubby behind the passenger side rear seat. They fit surprisingly well there. If I need one or more I can just drop the seat and grab one to reinstall it.

 

I just upgraded my “upgraded” aftermarket with wireless CarPlay/AA. PM me for info if interested.

 

The kit from SDHQ comes complete with a new crimp connector for the main ground wire. You will need the SDHQ body ground wire (https://sdhqoffroad.com/products/05...-6ga-negative-battery-to-body-16-ground-cable) or you can build one yourself. I had one from a previous project with the correct diameter connections, all be it just a little bit long.

The process is a 2 beer project (only because I really like beer).

 

Gave it a good hand wash and waxed it by hand with Griots 3-1 to try and correct some scratches and swirl marks from previous owner. Looks quite a bit better but still needs work.

 

We had bagged milk in high school for a short while until they found that the smell in the cafeteria was coming from the lights.
