What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

that is superdope. well done.
have you considered selling that file to others with the same set up? I bet there's no less than 25 dudes out there with the same exact set up that would pay you 25 for the file and 75 for the print..
im spitballing.

 

The rails are home made, it's just 1 inch box tube bolted to the tracks in the bed. The kayak is a cheap lifetime Teton. Super comfortable and great for fishing, but it doesn't track as straight as the expensive ones.

 

The replacement Amazon front camera also lasted just one year. Time to try a different design. Picked up a Type S P/N BT530027 HD camera on clearance at my local store. It's the wi-fi version of the camera used by TRDTaco420, except the video goes to your phone instead of a separate display.



Wiring cleaned up. As before, I tapped camera power from the fog lamp connector at the bottom of the grille support. (The fog fuse was swapped out with a 5A fuse to account for the thinner wires.) Found some 0.110" wide blade receptacles that fit tightly to the connector pins.

 

lol, no, because turning your lights off just so your backup camera can work better is stupid. These trucks have so many design flaws. Like, I love the truck and I'm glad I bought it, but so many things about the truck have me scratching my head.

 

installed the R4T front + rear anytime camera. install was pretty easy. there are a couple you tube videos that are very helpful. based on the basic test run I gave it, Id say it is a pretty useful mod. it didn't break the bank and it wasn't grotesquely expensive.
also reinstalled the 87mm pulley back on the Maggie..

 

That's what I meant. 4th gen Camaro's and firebirds are setup this way with a parking brake shoes inside the rotors. https://ls1tech.com/how-tos/a/camaro-and-firebird-how-to-repair-and-replace-parking-brake-420788

 

Installed Prinsu RR, new GMRS antenna, bumper light bar, and Cali Raised switch panel today.

 

Looks great. Where in CHS?

 

West Ashley out by Bees Ferry

 

Cool. My Mom lives right down the road in Magnolia Ranch off 61 where Rite Aid is located. Grew up in that area. I remember when Bees Ferry was a dirt road (showing my age). Have some family and tons of friends there. We had a family membership at Shadowmoss Plantation growing up. Area is really growing. I come to town a few times a year so I'll keep an eye out for you when I visit my buddy that lives off Bees Ferry.

 

I was born and raised on James Island, moved out here a few years ago. It’s crazy how much this place has grown. Don’t hesitate to wave me down lol.

 

Will do. BTW my wife grew up on JI in Stiles Point. Spent a lot of time on the island back in the day.

 

Bigger problem would be if it accidentally reactivated, anyone could unlock your truck simply by touching the door handle. If you have keyless entry that is.

 

What bracket is that for the antenna ?

You will have to use different mounting hardware. I used some spare parts from my roof rack

 

got a head start on worlds most ridiculous bed lighting system

started with welding the bolt-together seam on the ebay molle panels. bolts are overrated.


got lucky, and the mounting clips actually hold the tape light channel firmly to the back of the molle panel! still gonna back up the clips with some epoxy to be sure though


and a quick mockup with cob led tape and smoked cover. should sit just barely proud of the molle panel and will be nearly invisible once installed.

 

Yeah, removing the battery makes it foolproof. It also keeps the battery from discharging and potentially leaking inside the fob as pointed out by the OP @iLLFadedBowl.

 

That and the new style of thief that use devices to scan for fob signals and are able to unlock cars, start them, and drive off. Although I may or may not have a gps tracker in case the truck is stolen.

 

The spare key in the fob can be used to open the case also.

Not my video, but here's how you do it ...

Love the DB tonneau cover, RR, and brackets on the DB cover.

Looks very versatile and handsome of course!
