What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Lets hear it!!

 

Cucking that jeep!

 

Are you half way electronically inclined? Like can you operate a multimeter for resistance and voltage. Also, comfortable running wires through the firewall (in a hole that already exists) and making a connection to the under hood fuse box? If you answered yes to these, and want to be a guinea pig... err... alpha tester, let me know. I have the plans to add auto headlights. I need a good tester though. It involves a harness that goes to the steering column (just the bottom cover has to be removed, so it's easy), a photocell that goes to the passengers side tweeter cover (it's a pop out cover, so it can be undone if you change your mind), a wire that runs from those outside to the passengers side where a small box will be mounted. That small box also has a wire that needs ran over to the fuse box where a fuse tap and a ground will go. All plug and play (in as far as no wires need spliced, just run to different spots) so it all can be undone. The photocell is also adjustable, and I might make the timer that controls the delay for when the lights turn on and off adjustable too. I think it would be a good idea at least on the alpha version so you can adjust it. Sorry, I think out loud as I type sometimes... This set up basically acts like your stalk switch (the switch that turns on the DRL and headlights) and will work if you leave it on DRL or OFF, and it is overridable if you need to turn the headlights on for something, that function will still work on the stalk switch. Actually, if you wanted to run a switch to "enable" the auto headlights, that can be done too. Instead of running the wire from the box to the under hood fuse box, we could run it over to the in cab fuse box. We just need to tap an ignition controlled fuse. The amp draw will be super low as it is just powering a couple of relay coils. so no more than 0.4A I am sure, most likely 0.2A is probably a better guess. Anyway, I've rambled long enough, let me know if you're interested.

 

I’m digging your grill, and thanks for your service.

 

I run a snow way series 22 plow on my 2017 just for driveway. Works fantastic

 

I removed the set that came with my truck (likely aftermarket install) but I did it with a chisel so they are mostly useless now.

 

I am pretty handy doing electrical and general mechanical stuff, I've wrenched on pretty much every vehicle I've ever owned.
But I would not want to be in the test phase of a wiring mod. I like buying things that have already been through Alpha and Beta testing lol.
Though if you do end up doing this, figuring everything out to make it work like a factory mod, and come up with premade wiring and sensor I would buy it from you.

I'm in if my truck is a suitable test subject. I'm gearing up for some electrical work actually. Let me know!

 

The rack is by body armour, I just extended it to fit my 6ft box and added the canvas

 

solid.

 

I thought all the Tacos came with Auto- headlights?

 

No. I think that is true 2020+, but before that it was an option on some.

 

Very nice. Looks great.

 

Appreciate it. 300 Industries. They make all kinds of custom grills for the Taco. Not too fond of the square patch in the middle for the sensor, but what ya gonna do.

 

Yea anything dark and rainy is hard to see. Don’t most places get a lot of sun?

 

I’ll shoot you a PM

 

Hopefully this experiment will end there I come up with a lot of dumb ideas though. The concept is sound, I just need to tune it and make it user friendly.

 

Wasted no time getting my diffs installed. 4.56’s and twin lsd’s
