What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not today but from when I registered my 21 a couple years ago. Only mods are my cap, green vinyl over my lower lights, and my vanity plate. Here it sits beside my 03 winter truck. The white cap in back is for the 03.

 

The aluminum housing is officially for a Camry and a few other vehicles that use a different height filter. The thing that kind of looks like an apple core needs to be removed, and you use the shorter Tacoma one. You also reuse the bottom drain plug since the new housing doesn’t include one.

 

Looks cleaaaaaan, how do you like the SS3s?

 

I ordered some blue/orange tabs. Going to re-pull it apart this weekend and hope to readjust it somehow.
If not find some gasket trim piece like the front of our hoods and rig it somehow.

 

Think I was loading up some large stuff into the cab that day. Usually park more center, no problems getting in and out!

 

You do what now?

 

Which one did you get and did you replace the sealant to prevent leaking?

 

I never read anything about changing that on the aluminum housing. You’re talking about this part?

 

You bought a replacement and it leaked? Which one did you buy. Tacomalife said theirs doesn’t

 

I think Im gonna go with the Elites. Keep that stock look… still debating though lol.

 

After months of procrastination, I FINALLY put the steering wheel trim from AJT on to match the rest of my interior. Super happy about how it turned out

 

Has anyone bought this? They look to be the same just different branded. Obviously the Amazon is cheaper than Pairr

 

Oh, I miss the Canadian Rockies. Beautiful. At least I have my own bit of the Rocky Mountains in my back yard.

 

I think there are many brands with similar innards. I have one called "AutoBox" on the package and "GiWiOS" on the item. It works fine, but I find I don't use it much at all as it's just one more thing to deal with (it takes a few seconds to connect and just as often I'm using Sirius XM. I'd sell it to you for $20 plus a couple bucks to ship it. It looks like this one:

Wireless CarPlay Adapter, giwios 3.0 CarPlay Wireless Adapter Online Update Plug & Play(Car Model:2017 to 2022) with 2.4G/5GHZ Dual-Band WiFi Only for Factory Wired CarPlay, Faster Pair for i os 12-16

That doesn't have the greatest ratings so you probably wouldn't want it anyway.

 

Started cleaning out the taco in preperation to sell for the 4th gen. will post pictures when im done

 

I have the Ottocast on sale from Amzn. It’s reliable just a bit of lag when controlling the buttons which was expected. But connects really fast. You can probably watch my :48 seconds video review from there.

Did you buy an aftermarket one or a Toyota Oem unit?

 

Yes the mountains are gorgeous but it's been really cold and snowy here this winter. Even too cold to ski, board, or play hockey on outdoor rink.
I always thought Colorado was great. Especially Denver and area. I skied in Vail once. Best day ever!
