What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Slightly better than my experience. I just checked again and there is still no tracking information. Is been sitting the same since December 1st when supposedly it was ready to ship. Have no idea when I will get it at this point.

 

Finished up little installation project

 

Nice! Where’s the mount from? Sold as a kit?
Looks sturdy!

 

This looks great!! Thanks!

 

No problem Yea it’s a nice looking setup and not bulky. Sure you won’t pull a full 100W from this panel but it will keep the battery charged. It’s been tested by @turbodb on multiple trips/days and hasn’t let him down. It’s not some company just trying to sell there products.

 

I just got the same mount for Christmas. Just need to get the extinguisher. Where did you buy the extinguisher?

 

Bought my truck exactly a year ago, here’s the first picture I took and today.

I have my eibach pro lift that I am installing on Thursday, wish I could have got it on today but I’m busy working on some stuff at the house.

 

Found other tacos and photo bombed with them!

 

I want to add this here as well, as I realized I didn't tag you above:

This really has been a great setup for me. We just spent a little over a week down in the Mojave, and a couple days were long hikes with little driving. The system is so easy to deploy that I just parked the truck facing south and spread the panel out on the windshield. Three minutes, and it helped keep the cab cool while also topping off both batteries, running the fridge, and charging two laptops that we'd drained the evening before.

One thing I should mention about this setup is that I feel like it's ideal for a 1st gen but that there might be something better for a 3rd gen. Specifically, you might decide to go with the REDARC BCDC1225D DC-DC Charger w/Solar rather than the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 Solar Charge Controller w/Bluetooth setup. Doing so would get you the ability to charge a second (optionally AGM) battery in addition to the solar controller; something I don't have to worry about with the higher voltage 1st gen alternator.

The Victron will obviously work great as well as far as solar goes, but it won't be a multi-tasker for you, which could be a good reason to go REDARC on a 3rd gen.

 

That’s a great picture

 

on the way down the hill everyone was braking necks “why are all their trucks the same... see honey I told you we should have bought a tacoma instead of the ford”

 

Awesome!

 

I ordered the Tacoma mat for my bed, LED interior lights, as well as the middle storage organizers... oh, and Weathertech mats for the front, I have the all weather ones, but they dont go high enough around to deal with Maine mud and snow, I will keep those for summah! Oh, and received the raised letters for the tailgate, getting undercoating tomorrow, then will attach em

 

Is that by the Lockwood Store? Is that Private or Public Land?

 

Mounted a tent on it.

 

Home depot

 

Sounds like your Taco had a nice Christmas.

 

Got the kit here. Like that is has a quick release. Forget who posted on here originally but a great idea. I mounted mine slightly different than he did but I like the results.
