What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have the 900X plus 2ch and the 124x battery. The differences between the X and S is fairly significant and it does mean more than what you are saying. They do like that X in their model names lol You’re not wrong on the other stuff though. I will say there’s some drawbacks on these things.

The LTE module doesn’t play nice with AT&T. Some people have had success but AT&T is the main problem without diving into it. They don’t like cloud devices so plans and compatibility don’t line up with it well. AT&T couldn’t get it to work, I returned mine. I hear Verizon works the first time though.

There is no On/Off switch on the Dash-cam (this is a HUGE issue). Yes it can monitor voltage and turn off at set levels, yes parking mode with motion or impact or time lapse is very cool, sensitivity has to be played with to no end, but with no extra battery and in parking mode and you have a secure garage to park in, why be in parking mode draining your battery when you’re in bed? You can use the app to power it down but that’s a PIA. Then if you hardwire it, you still choose what amperage it charges with (cig lighter/hardware switch or 5a/9a). Then with the extra battery, say your in parking mode so long you drain your extra battery. Now you got to work, 15 mins away. It takes a min of 40mins to recharge it to 100% on hardwired setting. So now you won’t have parking mode all day long while at work. I think you get the drift. For others it’s a necessity cause they park outside and I would advise the extra battery too. I do not use voltage sensing control. I don’t trust it to not strand me on some desert island in the middle of nowhere sometime. I wired in an on/off switch so when I come home to my garage I turn it off but I have to remember to turn in on when I leave too but that becomes habit and I have a fully charged battery even if my work is 10 mins away. All day parking mode!

Instead of rewriting what is already documented by blackboxmycar about the S and X versions see this page, it explains things pretty well even though they talk more to the 750 than 900, the X/S diffs are about the same. The diffs between 750 and 900’s are a different subject lol https://www.blackboxmycar.com/blogs/news/blackvue-x-vs-s

 

I'm looking forward to Before and After pics !!!

 

Hey all I’m looking for some advice,
I'm looking between getting the Boss 2.5 with remote reservoirs or Dobinson MRR's, both kits are around the same price when fully priced.

Anybody have any input? is a 2.5” single tube rear shock better than a 2.2” with a Remote resi?



Total is $3,700 with the Labor day discount code.



I've heard great things about both, just looking for some insight, this thread always seems active so I figured one or two people on here will have some advice.

 

After a week or so of rebuilding, my shift knob is finally complete. I restitched and repainted the factory Pro knob to match the Off-Road color scheme + tie in my interior accent color (MGM). I'm calling the TRD 'Off-Road' knob. Came out perfect and really ties the room together. #thebiglebowski. I think I have 13 interior pieces painted with this MGM paint now.







I know I need to clean my truck, don't shoot lol.

Per the usual, link to my build thread which covers this in more detail: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/drizzohs-21-off-road-build.748190/page-6#post-27768946

 

Great job. I made the dealership do that before I would drive it off the lot. I also made them remove their Dealership-Logo license plate frames. The sales guy asked me "Why would you want all that removed from your truck sir?"

"Because...I am not going to advertise for your dealership for free. So, remove it, or pay me $600 and I will sign a form to keep it on and help sell your product."

....30 minutes later, the truck had all dealership emblems removed from it.

 

It's like "self checkout" at the grocery store. We should be getting a discount since they are saving on labour costs.

 

Nice job. Mine in very similar but also the lower piece is painted and have integrated ETC button.

 

Thanks homes. I thought about doing the buttons, but I really don't need any additional buttons at my thumbs and I have like 5 switch ports available to fill up on my left side panel for future needs. Mostly just wanted a really clean factory-looking setup.

 

Hell, drink another Heineken.

 

And you have one of those automatic dirt removers as well. I had three of them, but they grew up and left.

 

First time using the diamondback cover tie downs... Moved a furniture piece I had stored at my dads to the girls house few hundred miles away

 

Those automatic dirt removers are awesome, but they're expensive as hell.

 

I bought my truck new just over 6 years ago and had 4 spiderweb cracks from rocks and stones during the first year. The first two were repaired professionally and then I bought a cheap repair kit off the web for $11 and repaired the next two cracks. Finally, the fifth crack quickly expanded to over a foot long and forced me to get a new windshield. My research on the OEM, Safelight, Pilkington, and PPG revealed that PPG had the best reviews for the Tacoma at that time. I had my glass repair company install the PPG windshield and have never had a single spiderweb or crack in the last 5 years even thought there have been several stones and rocks that have hit it. It took a couple more days for my glass company to find the proper PPG windshield but it was definitely worth the wait. In well over 50 years of driving I have never had such a bad experience with an OEM windshield.

 

impressive and great work!!

 

Thanks buddy!

 

Installed TVD vinyl overlays on my factory TRD OR wheeels.

 

Not what I did but what some other *Bleep bleep* did. Got rear ended and pushed into an F150 back is fine just small dings on the tail gate my hitch took most of it. But the front OMG

 

Sorry about that!!! Was this on our great Interstate 81?!

 

Old but a good article

No. Not familiar with 81 but 64 in Hampton roads is a death trap. Lol
