What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed a Decked kit!

 

Difficulty level?

 

I don’t have ‘em (don’t want ‘em) and the sides of my truck stay pretty dirty from road grime. Especially after a rain!

 

Joined the Fomoto valve gang.

 

Mounted recovery boards to bed rail

 

Usps can suck sometimes haha. Glad it made it and happy you’re stoked!

 

Did this today, it all went really well even though I was a little intimidated. Just waiting for silicone to dry before it gets oil.

This dashcam is what I use....Directly integrated already

 

I thought hit and run was a felony

 

Nah. Truck gets parked in the grass. Lol

 

Did the same on the passenger seat with the threads on the truck. The socket wrench didn’t fit straight up and down and I cross threaded it. Tapped it and prayed to the taco gods. Bolt went in nicely.

 

I think he was referring to the rocks of your driveway getting stuck in your tires and then thrown on to side of your truck as you get up to speed, which the mud flaps will help stop.

 

Oh I know. But the truck is parked in the grass and doesn’t use the driveway. Lol

I get rocks in my tires from my driveway all the time. But mudflaps look stupid. Just saw them in the garage today. Anyone want them? Come get ‘em.

 

Picked up on Friday this week. First mod on Saturday, removed the air dam.

 

Welcome to the money pits!

 

Nice. What did you use to extend the media port? I want to get a 3TPAM but they have you tapping into the power port to make the USB's charge only. I want to move my phone out of the cupholder and be able to plug it into the USB on the mount and have my Android Auto work. I hate my phone being in the cupholder with the wire running to the current media port. Looks like junk. Plus it wastes a cupholder.

 

Personally, I use the TTM and use a juggernaut mount on it for my phone, but the 12" usb cable running to it isn't the cleanest looking option to charge it. I'm still out a cupholder bc the front-left one has become kind of a junk container for my leatherman and other stuff lol

 

Finally put on the side support brackets for the CBI covert bumper and threw on the ICON sway bar relocation kit while I was at it, in preparation for tomorrow's 6112 install.


then put on the OME drive shaft spacer

 

This is what I used to relocate the media port. It plugs right into the back of my head unit, I've got a 2020.

As you can see it terminates in a female USB A. I then used this USB extension (male USB A to female USB A) to reach it to the center console.

I will take a look at the 3TPAM, not sure what they've got going on under there but imagine its probably just power not data but perhaps could be modified if you can find the space to drill a new hole.

From what I understand, but haven't experimented, you can't use a USB hub to enable multiple media ports, so for now my others are just for charging

Additionally, after relocating the media port I used this cable to connect the OEM USB port on the dash to a power outlet I installed near the driver side fuse panel.

It connected to the cable I removed from the back of the head unit that was running to the OEM USB port.

 

Never rains?
