What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The console USB in my 2019 ain't worth a shit for nothing. I plugged my rear dash cam into it and half the time it would not come on when I turned the ignition on. Plugged it into the dash USB port and it works flawlessly.

 

Might just be a long cable issue cutting into the voltage. You might try running one of these to the back of the cabin and plug the rear cam into it there.

Great idea. I could stand a couple of permanent USB ports in the back behind the seats.

 

What do you have controlling them? Added an extra fuse and switch?

 

Made some large molle panels, gas can brackets and some other mounting stuff, powder coated everything and now just need to install.

 

How are the power extractor pipes holding up? Noticeable improvement? Any CEL's?

 

It sure sucks! I added extra ports with one of these little guys on my dash and works great! Only thing I don’t like is how bright the blue LEDs are and they don’t match the trucks interior, so when not in use, I put 2 of these little covers on it.

 

Can I post if it was someone else’s 3rd Gen? Got the front skid plate finished!

 

Always throw anti-seized on the bolts...always. Also make sure you clean the bolts the best you can before

 

Which AAwireless adapter did you get. My friend wants one for her 4Runner. Link please? Thx.

 

They say they are shipping, but I haven't received anything yet.

We’ve seen this one but was unsure about their site. Hope you get yours soon. I’d like to hear more about it. Thx.

 

I didn’t do that on the skid plate I just installed either… should I consider remounting them with this?

Blacked out my visors and added a card holder. My wife thinks I'm ridiculous. I won't disagree.

 

Not the OP.
If you ever wanted to pull the skid plate because you went out 4x4ing and brought home 20kg of mud sitting on top of it then I would say yes.

 

Note to self. Stay in the rocks and out of the mud.

 

Well, only stay out of the mud that is measured in weights of science. Our homegrown freedom unit mud doesn't have that problem.

 

Yes

 

that's 44.09 lbs of mud for those south of Canada.

 

If the card holder falls off...
