What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I also heard that you're currently having a sale on a dozen homemade strawberry cupcakes can you confirm?

 

No you don't

You've got another 10-15 years of trouble free driving.

 

My guess is I have another 228,000 miles before I need to make a decision on my next vehicle. That's maybe 15 years so I have plenty of time. I'm hoping for a flying car.

 

i eat everything thats made........profits are down - body weight is up

 

Installed Garmin Mini 3 dashcam. Taking a long road trip so wanted something plug and play with just the mirror power cable adapter.
I didn’t want to end up stranded somewhere and find out that using either the constant power or parking mode cables drained my battery.

 

I'm looking at the same Garmin for my Tacoma. Appreciate any updates and opinions, good and bad. Thanks

 

Will do.
At least 2500 miles of mixed roads should provide some good data.

 

Trd Pro grille swap w the tss sensor

 

Our local self serve has lukewarm water and a backing wall for winter, I can get away with spraying down to 14 degrees, anything below that, the soap freezes too fast, especially if the wind is blowing.

 

Yep everytime I am like well maybe I see one in person and like nah not worth the payment and usually I’m like hurry up and take my money.

 

there are 12 cup holders in the tacoma

 

Lol

 

Are you on LT tires?

 

i hear there wont be gas in 5 years ..... start looking at horses that don't fart

 

does the tacoma pro have those lights in the grill?

 

Just the TRD Raptor Editions

 

Alright, I have an update....

I've found that there are many multiple suppliers of the Hamilton style units, and apparently Hamilton just rebrands a generic model from the many Chinese ones, as I have seen them all over Aliexpress.

I purchased one from Aliexpress for $172, removed the lower resolution one and installed the newer unit. The resolution is better and the brightness and contrast is nice.

Pros:
Resolution and brightness - uses the full resolution of the unit
Sound - Much better than the simpler unit

Cons:
Install is more work, simple, but yes, more work
Have to remove XM Radio unit if you have it
Does not auto start into Android Auto/Carplay - must press home button every time
Uses phone pick up button instead of the voice command button on the steering wheel to initiate Google assistant/Siri
Phone bluetooth must connect to radio and decoder unit

Overall, I am going to keep the newer unit. The older one was very simple to install and easier to use, everything was automatically initiated. The resolution and contrast does help a bit for night driving. This unit may be different from others and they may be able to autostart, which would have been very nice.

 

thanks

 

Feel that. Would have been cool to flex my past-life moderate/low grade climbing escapades to uninterested passengers but my emotional security bottle travels with me basically every where I go, I drink like a camel, and I was tired of the damned thing rolling around every time I made a turn, so there goes $50 bucks in AJT's pocket.

Story of my life.

And not one of those inconsiderate pricks at Toyota thought it wise to make just one of them sized for their outdoors-folk!
