What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That TRD cold air intake is nice!

I'm holding out till the price drops dramatically.

 

Harbor freight moving blanket or plastic tarp. Different sizes depending on your needs and cheap. I put some in all my cars

 

I said I don’t want a tarp material

 

I previously upgraded all 6 speakers and I wasn't happy with the end results. The factory (non-JBL) head unit is underpowered. The Alpine is a small amp that fits inside the dash, right behind the factory unit. Plenty of room back there (in my '22, at least). And, no, there are no direct RCA jacks on the stock stereo.

 

Thanks Sir. You saved me ripping it out just to check.

 

I wonder if the anytime front camera mod could be used for your thermal in lieu of a normal cam

I'll check it out. thanks for the tip.

 

Did you have to splice into the speaker wires or is there a harness that makes it plug-n-play? TIA

 

Curious as well

 

Yes, I had to splice into the speaker wire. Nothing too scary.

 

There are harnesses available (both in/out) for factory radio. The JBL unit is a bit harder due to the design, but things can be found for it too. There was a change @20+ (CarPlay) so keep that in mind.

 

I’m pretty sure the anytime backup camera uses rca jacks. I’m interested in the thermal though. Where did you get a small thermal? I have a handheld flir that is kinda lame and a flir scout monocular which is rad. Also had to ship the scout to Oregon, Amazon wouldn’t ship it to California.

 

Sorry for late reply. Been on the road over weekend in Arkansas visiting some friends

. I got the Alpha Black:



As far as full price, I did not pay full price. I ordered mine from R4T and they offer a first responders/military discount (verified through a 3rd party). It's only 10% off, but it beats nothing.

(A few other vendors do this as well as an FYI.)

So... My cover popped up and smacked the shark fin like Will Smith smacking Chris Rock. How do I fix that?




EDIT: The answer for now is black RTV sealant.

 

Slap that biatch back into place.

These are no longer being produced while op is deployed as stated in the thread you provided the link for

 

Even cheaper, I used a couple of the metal plates that came with magnetic phone holder

After a long wait I finally got in my @MESO dual color map lights in the mail!

 

what about copper pipe clamps for pvc pipe, just get larger clamps or try the electrical department, they make grey pvc clamps.
