What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Which model did you get?

 

That paint is a great match to the oem plastics! Its what I used to fix up a black steering wheel emblem overlay i got off ebay since i couldnt get a mgm one from Meso anymore

 

How did you take the emblem off may I ask. Looks good.

 

Thanks! I edited my post to clarify, but i used an emblem overlay so no removal necessary

 

Thanks

 

Did the Subaru/Toyota (3rd Gen) Tweeter upgrade today, what a difference.

Interior wasn't shiny enough...So, I added some more.

 

Now this one I like. Classy.

I wouldn't mind doing this one with some billet foot pedals too.

 

I noticed a difference as well after getting the cap installed on my '21 OR. Ride is definitely smoother, and I don't even think the mpgs took a hit.

 

Looks great. What do you have going on with that GoPro mount?

 

Why Amazon & Tufskinz of course! Make sure you order the outer ring, that is the ring that covers up the chrome.

Installed the Retrofits this weekend. I'm absolutely in love with these, they bring a whole new look to the truck.

I'd like to give a huge shout out to @Kairide for your help along the way. A great thing about this forum is the people you meet that lend out a helping hand in your time of despair lol.

Some pics of them in the dark.

 

True, though I think most of those vehicles are full size vans and larger work trucks that tend to have wider and compound mirrors that allow the driver to see both areas. When I build our campervan I'm already planning to do something like the anytime backup camera mod, but I'm going to pipe it through a digital mirror. Something like this:

$200 9.35''1080P OEM Rear View Mirror Camera: Recording Wide View Back Up Camera for Cars, Smart Full Touch Screen Stream Media Backup Camera with Super Night Vision for Trucks,Vans, SUVS (AUTO-VOX T9)

Mainly because I've grown to enjoy Android Auto for Nav and I'd like to keep the information about the world behind me coming from the same place I've always looked to find it. Also, sorry if it seems like I was busting your balls too much about it. I can go a bit far with my sarcasm sometimes. Until last week I was actually planning to get the same exact topper for mine, though I was planning to run it either top down or safari style most of the time to maintain visibility. Most people that have toppers keep stuff in the back of their truck so they can't do that, and I totally get that.

 

Switched out the 5" oval chrome OEM step rails that came with the truck for the OEM predator bars to make it easier for the vertically challenged Mrs to get in and out. I like the look better than the chrome bars and they are for sure more useful.

 

Damn I really like those!

 

Those look awesome! Really dig the retro’s.

 

Thanks. It's the factory GoPro mount that came with the truck and I've got a GoPro Hero Session in it...I ran a long USB cable across the headliner, down the A-Pillar, under the glovebox, and under the passenger side center console trim back to one of the rear power ports. There are probably better ways to get power to that location but this was the best/easiest idea I came up with at the time (2016) and has been working perfectly ever since.

 

Sweet, I like it.

I'm a big GoPro fan. Are you using this as a dashcam? Do you have it power on and off with relation to the truck being on and off? Are you using a re-writable SD card for looped video?
