What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I don’t believe they had any part numbers listed as the harness is custom, but this is the page where I got all the info and ordered from https://www.autoharnesshouse.com/entune.html
I believe you need to email them if you have the JBL as the form on their page is only for non JBL

 

I might try this out! Was having trouble finding one without complaints about lag or startup time. Any disconnecting issues? That was another complaint I was seeing on multiple other wireless carplay plugins.

 

Nothing sketchy about it. IIRC GM cars of that era had a 5A fuse for the instrument panel. The factory radios of the time period had three plugs. One for power, one for the front speakers, and one for the rear. The car was outfitted from the dealer with an aftermarket AudioVOX radio, so that radio had a harness to connect to the factory wiring. The old GM Delco radios (and aftermarket radios, if supported) had lights that dimmed with the instrument panel. This was provided with the power plug. (Black was ground, Yellow was hot, grey was instrument panel lights; if there was a power antenna switched with the radio, it was on this plug, too... maybe orange?? My '78 had a windshield antenna, so it didn't come with that circuit.) I was able to "tap in" without modifying the factory harness since the aftermarket radio didn't support "GM factory" wiring, and they (the dealer) provided the adapter.

The Christmas lights that were repurposed were a 35-bulb string of blue. So 120/35 is 3.5 V drop per bulb. Cut away four bulbs, and you have your ~12 V. Marker lights on, footwell lights on - and dim-able with the rest of the instruments.

I never blue a (5A) fuse. Pun intended.

 

Doesn't everyone die in that play....

Better stay away. Bad ju-ju.

 

Gave her a bath today and a good coat of wax.

 

Added cross bars. Aluminum t-track bars from Amazon. Took a bit of modifying to make it fit.

 

Thank you taco brotha

 

Installed the Carven Cat-Back exhaust and a TRD Rad cap.

Sounds throaty!

While underneath, I quickly noticed the “leaking/weeping” rear end. Will let the dealership know at the next service.

Anyone else with this experience?

 

I use the carlinkit mini 3.0 i got from aliexpress for like 40 bucks. Works great that i bought a 2nd one for my camry.

 

No problem!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

That’s great to hear, not a bad price at all either. I’ll definitely check it out!

 

Any issues on the HWY? My 305s shake unless a have a hub centric ring on them.

 

Can't believe that diff leak is still a thing. One of the multitude of issues my 2016 had. One of my most hated issues was the creaky radiator support bushings. At 5k miles that thing squeaked like a 1970 Ford Maverick with dried up upper control arm bushings.

 

The main complaint is slow charging and heat although a couple of people have posted about the pad bubbling and deforming. Also depending on the height of your camera it may or may not work. Past couple generations of phones have huge camera bumps that prevent the phone from laying flat and interfacing with the pad.
Member here 3d printed a tray for me that sits on the pad and holds a MagSafe puck. I think it’s pretty slick

 

I bought a used 2020 TRD Sport AC a few weeks ago.

I can’t believe that Toyota still has a prop rod for the hood.

The plus side is the fact that I can purchase hood struts from @RedlineTuning!!!

These are quality struts, quality hardware, and Redline provides fantastic installation instructions. I have installed them on every generation of Tacoma, and they have been great! I installed a set on my truck today.

 

I might have to get these. I’m waiting for the day the hood slides past my hand before I get the rod in place and something bad happens.

 

Hood struts for the win!

 

I went with Spiker on my latest truck. Cheaper and same quality as RedLine. Also lifts a bit higher.

 

Got the rifle mount installed on the meso hexrack.
