What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Dashmat leaves it exposed. Maybe get a dashmat and place something underneath to cover the sensor?

 

Yes. @Jerry311SD should check out the sliders from either Warfab Armor or Running4Tacos with no kick outs. They are pretty unobtrusive.

 

Quick question about Apple CarPlay. Hardwired via Lightning cable is the only option, right? What happens when Apple phases out the charging port in the next couple of years?

 

Eh... I plan to get real sliders anyhow. I don't have a whole lot of confidence in the structural integrity of even the main tube body on these for use as sliders.

I can't imagine these are worth a whole helluva lot now... Given the condition they're in, I'd honestly planned to throw 'em up on here for free once I get some real sliders.

 

some aftermarket head units offer wireless car play. Only option for my stock jbl is hardwire to the back of the unit. I unplugged mine and plugged in a wireless CarPlay adapter so I don’t have to plug mine in it just connects automatically.

 

There's even a thread about how to install it and where to buy it (gotta love this site):

I had an 86 Audi 4kQ. The high beam indicator on the dash was so bright, i took the instrument cluster apart and put tape over it with a tiny little hole in the center.

 

looks great! what did those set you back?

 

Eh, I've got spare headlight tint film that I can use that should leave it looking stock.

 

If Ur close to San Diego id take em off your hands when you do.

 

I'll try and remember you when the time comes... I'm in Bakersfield so up to you on whether or not that's worth the drive

 

Try RRW. Full span and tucked close. (Mine are the original production with the metal tube caps.)

 

Keep us posted, would like to know how that works out.

 

Eh, right now all mods are paused until I found out where I'm moving next in about 10 days. If I end up going to Hawaii I'm probably going to be selling the truck this summer. And

 

We feel so bad for you moving to paradise without your truck.

 

Paradise always has a price....

 

I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but I'm more of a fun in the snowy mountains kind of guy (my wife too). Not really about that beach life. There is hiking and sky diving though, which I thoroughly enjoy. We might be going to North Carolina instead, in which case I'll resume modding the hell out of the truck

 

You do know it snows in Paradise, right???

yeah, saw that. If we end up there we will definitely do that to beef up our obituaries.

 

Roughly $1.4K but so worth it.
