    On 3rd Gens, even without CarPlay, movies/videos can be put on a USB stick and while parked you can watch movies/videos on the stock head unit.

    That's interesting. Never thought of that. Using what feature of the Head Unit? "Media"?

    I’ll have to do this from memory. Don’t have the USB stick on me right now. Put the USB stick in and it should read your music directories. I also have a video directory. The menu you can scroll through and the head unit recognizes video files just like music files.

    An iPod can also be used for music and videos.

    It’s pretty cool seeing video on the screen.

    200 bucks for the fender flares, cheap? I am thinking they will keep some mud off the sides of the truck. I had to modify them to fit the front since I chopped that off a while back.

    My cheapest mod I’m most proud of. $4 I think. Hit the "Like" button if you can find it on the truck.

    I had posted this in the aftermarket shift knob thread. My shift knob is a $8 cue ball from an Amazon. I drilled a 15/32 hole about 1.5 inches deep and ‘tapped’ it with a m12 bolt. I then counter bored the hole with a 9/16 bit about 3/4 deep to clear the taper on shifter. The trd collar is from 7r41lbr34k3r.

    One of these days I’ll actually get around to bolting something to it. Maybe!
