What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

love 'em! The in channel ones are the best!

in hindsight I wish I had ordered the 20° ones and in raw finish and taken them to be rhino lined instead of getting the powdercoating on them.

 

Went Decked Finally! Works great for my needs and glad I waited as now I have the improved version...

 

Love the skinny tire, looks great

 

Go big: Cerakote > Rhino lining

 

Hit 1k on a day trip to the Monterey bay aquarium with the wife and kid. Second road trip in the new taco

 

Sweet! Welcome to TW!

 

Received Monday….



Received today; it arrived earlier than expected…….



The bonus is it came with the short Micro USB, Mini USB and USB Type C



edit: Guess what I’m doing tomorrow

 

No but I was so happy I was skipping a little on the way home

 

I think your fuel gauge must be frozen 30 mpg ? I’ve never seen that even down hill idling lol.

 

My Dongar is in the mail ... USPS site has not changed the status since yesterday. I guess I will ... sigh ... become ambitious enough to plug it into the mirror and my GW522 ...

 

Just my 2 CENTS:
Have you ever try to charge the battery with normal, 110v. charger, let's say every 3-4 months?
You can be surprised, how many years it will serve, if you do so. Mine personal record - 8 years daily driving, Calgary climate, original KIA battery (whoever makes them).
Try it!

 

Took a short drive down the coast

Then saw this near my destination. Pretty cool setup

 

You guys installing your Garmin Mini dash cams got me excited for you.

I've had mine for about a month now...and love it!

 

I apologize for my complete stupidity here (and i will google it after I post this) but is this like an adapter to plug the dash cam into the rearview mirror? I've wanted a dash cam but havent committed because i know trying to get it to power will be a pain in the ass... maybe not??

Thanks!!

 

The Garmin Mini Cam + the Adapter will be all you need. As long as you have power to your rearview mirror, the adapter will provide what you need.

 

It is just that. Otherwise you run a long cable around the window and along the dash. Though some report that the dashcam can draw enough power from the mirror to impair its operation and go back to a normal power run. For me it is worth the #30 risk.

 

Brilliant! My 2018 was totaled by a jackass driver, been wanting a dashcam for the new truck.

 

Not the best pic but I did this at night.

 

That’s exactly what it is.

 

Thanks I'll try that on my new (warranty) one.
