What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got a pair of used CBI bed bars ($320). Going to cancel the ones I have on order, saved my self from another 2week lead time and $100.

 

What did the elephant say to the bird?

 

Test fitted my winch cut off switch on my 3D printed mount. Sadly my switch mounting bolts were too short so I had to make a trip to Ace to resolve that. Working on the battery to switch cable run connections and then I'll be good to go.

 

The new ARB snatch strap found a home next to the mountain money.

 

My next upgrade.

 

You need to get the TRD skid plate...that will blow away the Raptor even more--IMO.

 

Took the taco to Double Barley Brewery for her first birthday. Bought a year ago today. 21459 miles.

 

Found a video and TW post on how to remove the door post cover for the driver's side. Is there a video or post on how to remove the passenger side door post cover?

I hate the thread "What Have You Done To Your 3 Gen Today"! Not really! I just find more things to add to my 2020 OR and ways to spend my $$$. BTW-a lot of TW members on this thread have done amazing upgrades/adds/accessories to their 3 Gens--some very talented people

Update: No replies but I figured it out--guess I'm not that stupid after all

 

Parking sensor

 

I bought it on Amazon, but they are out of stock

JOYING Android Car Stereo 4GB + 64GB Android 8.1 GPS Navigator with 4G SIM Card Slot - Support Android Auto/DSP/SPDIF/Fast Boot/Split Screen/Bluetooth/WiFi for Toyota Corolla 2017 2018 with Canbus

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W1ZML6V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You would have to get it from Joying directly. https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-u...orolla-tacoma-android-car-stereo-upgrade.html

I had to research how to get the carplay setup properly, you have to make sure your BT and WIFI is on and not connected to a WIFI, then you go through the process of setting up the BT on the Joying, then wait and be patient and it will setup, then you open the zlink, being patient, it will ask to use Carplay and after that I shut off the unit and then turned it back on and it has hooked up perfectly as long as I have my wifi and BT on and it is 100% wireless and I leave my phone on the charging pad. I only use the car play and the radio and did not get a sim chip for 4g on the unit so can't comment on video playback on the unit.

Overall I am pretty happy with it, could it be better, sure, but for the price and the way it fits its perfect.

 

Finally got around to blacking out the TRD logo on my center caps. Bought from TVD Vinyl Decals, they turned out pretty good. There is some minor hints of red visible lines, mostly noticeable with the R decal but you wouldn't notice unless you were looking for it

 

Link to your hitch pin? Assuming it locks?

 

Added amber delete side marker and smoke taillight decals

 

Nice, thanks for sharing...I just ordered mine today.

 

$36 ‎BOLT BREAKTHROUGH ONE-KEY LOCK TECHNOLOGY 7023584 5/8' Receiver Lock for Toyota Keys

https://www.amazon.com/BOLT-7023584-Receiver-Lock-Toyota/dp/B00C5T0JCI
Kinda pricey but didn’t want extra keys for the hitch lock. Note, I have an SR5 with regular key.

 

The one I was asking about he quoted me $349 for a 40 inch

 

Seems like it's something he just does on the side, I'm not sure. But if it's not for you, then it's not for you ‍‍

 

Hikari Eye of Megatron hi and low (thanks for the 40% off Amazon) + @MESO ultimate turn signals.

 

Installed the Hikari Eyes of Megatron. Looks great. Definitely need to replace my fogs now

 

Honestly not today, but over the holidays I took a day to install some items I had been meaning to with two friends of mine. Installed a Switch Pro 9100 with SDHQ under the hood mount and SDHQ inside the cab switch panel mount. Also finally installed my ARB twin compressor in Slee off-road mount with Tacomaworld 3rd gen modified bracket. Lastly installed the Lightforce 30" dual row LED Light bar in SDHQ behind the grill mount. On to the pictures.
