What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Welcome to TW. You might want to check out these two Forums. I see you're new. There are plenty of sub-forums and threads on this site that'll help you spend more money.

Welcome to TW! Let the spending begin!

 

You beat me to it! This is my

$165 Midland MXT275 MicroMobile GMRS Radio - 15 watts Two-Way Radio with Integrated Control Microphone - Overland Caravanning Tractors - Detachable External Magnetic Mount Antenna - 8 Repeater Channels

Midland MXT275 on a Desert Does It under seat mounting bracket that I’m running up to that spot on the dash.

 

The main issue is the shrink rate, afaik there isn't anything that will slip over the rj45 and shrink tight on the cable itself.

 

Sure, there is a pretty decent difference of girth between the plug and cable, no doubt.

But apparently they make (RJ45-specific?) shrinky tubes. You just gotta pay the tax to have the right stuff: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/heat-shrink-boots-caps/499

Strain relief boots are also a non-shrinky option: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Platinu...n-Relief-in-Clear-50-per-Bag-100036/301491560

 

I'll be honest I've never seen this at our local cabel supplier. Looks a lot easier though

 

Made some brackets to hide my @Baja Designs, lights hide behind my rack.. and yes I’ll be flipping the words/faceplate it was just a mock up.. also blacked out the cover help hide..

 

I love stuff like this Find some space and cram a light in it!

 

I'll check it out. Thanks

 

In that case I'm pissing in the wind.

 

is that a gazillion bottles of chemical guys cleaner on your wall?!?!?!

 

And how are they attached to the wall?

 

gazillion and one, Bob

 

lol, not at all. Most people probably just use the labels that wrap and cover themselves, or just don't label at all. Very few seem to be going for that Professional AF look.

 

Haha ya and it’s functional. It’s really convenient to have side lights when camp set up is after dark..

 

Yes, lol. The sticker-bombed cabinet is full of detailing products and random crap too.

I have 4 of these mounted on the wall - they are nice they are powder coated and have predrilled holes every 16" to mount to studs.

Old garage pic from before I reorganized in there to be able to fit the truck:

 

Tossed up my handheld with a magnet mount for temp HAM comms while I save for the bigger base unit…

 

Been lurking on here for a while so I've been able to complete a few mods with some advice from this forum. So far I have installed:

• Spyder Headlights
• WinJet Tailights
• Cali Raised hidden light bar
• LED White/Amber fogs
• Demon brackets and shackles
• Heritage grill with raptor lights
• Smoked switchback mirror turn signals
• Nexar dashcam
• Homelink mirror (couldn't believe my mirror didn't have a garage door opener)
• LED Interior lighting
• OEM Bed mat
• Cargo header rail (again, couldn't believe this didn't come from factory)
• Bed lights
• Tonneau cover
• JBL door speakers
• Kicker tweeters

Looking more for many mods to come, and thanks to everyone on here for their help to this newbie!

 

Not mine, just spotted these on imgur. Someone isn't having a good day.
