What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Spiker hood struts here too. Any of the brands are MUCH better than wrestling a prop rod in place.

 

Thanks for that. Agreed, it is slow, but it works fairly well on my iPhone 12 and the wife's iPhone SE. Both have cases, but the induction seems to work okay. We have

$70 Teeran CarPlay Wireless Adapter for Factory Wired CarPlay 2024 Upgrade Plug & Play Dongle Converts Wired to Wireless for Cars from 2015 & iPhone iOS 10+

this wireless Car Play adapter and if I'm listening to Pandora or using Maps (or both) for a while it keeps up with the battery drain at least. No bubbling to date.

That little MagSafe puck is pretty sweet.

 

Cool didn’t know that.

Looks fresh!

That’s cool.

 

Gone camping at Conestogo Conservation.

 

i use mine to cook my toast on the way to work

 

Driving to work tonight, I had to turn on my center light bar and it somehow knocked out the whole controller and brake lights... No bueno

 

Mine works but it won't work with my new phone (1/2 in ratchet fell on my old one and completely wrecked the screen) since the camera edges are raised. It will charge my airpod pros though.

 

Installed a FitcamX and an Offroam phone mount. https://amzn.to/3raNSm6

The FitcamX was a pain in the butt to get the cover back in the TSS. Managed to pop off my rear view mirror in the process.

The Offroam mount is sturdy! Holds my iPhone perfectly.

 

What rifle mount did you use?

I finally broke her in. Went out on the trail and camping in Dinosaur National Monument. Super quiet; just me and one other tent in the campground. The ranger tried to tell me the canyon bench road was terrible and I shouldn't drive it. So I took all my food and water with me just in case. Spent half of the time in 2WD and never needed 4LO, but I did just to try out the Crawl and MTS features. Super easy. Never saw another vehicle. Even though I didn't come near testing the capabilities of the truck, it just felt like it was made for bumps, dips, loose rock, and washboards. Like I set her free. Ah.

Going from Denver to Dinosaur I got 23 MPG; it just hums on those 2 lane highways. Almost 22 MPG average over the 800 miles of my trip (stopped by the Western Slope to see mom too) including the off road driving.

 

Do you have the OTT Tune?

I got 22.8 mpg going from Bennett to Montrose via 70/285/50 hwy. I have the OTT tune on mine and I love it.

 

Gave her a bath and thoroughly scrubbed the tyres with “bleach white”.
Removed this:


Then reinstalled the OEM air intake hose.

I also reset ECM and cleared TCU to go from Lite to Normal V10 AGM KDMax.

Also installed this.

It was cheaper than RC brand. I only went one size up and the 1.5 MPH difference has been bothering me…still need to test drive tomorrow.

 

That’s a slick setup. Looks like a spendy boi

 

No connection issues so far. This version offers 5GHz WiFi, not just the 2.4GHz band. I'm not sure if that's the reason, but it's working pretty well. TBH, it's a clean set up and if you order from Amazon and have issues you have 30 days to return it. That's what I figured anyway.

 

I have been thinking about getting something similar but was thinking about pulling the USB port behind the dash hooking this up and then putting a different switch there. Has anyone done that?

 

Sounds like you had fun! How many days were you camping?

 

Some ideas here:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2020-tacoma-media-port-relocation.648547/

You can find more if you search for 'media port relocation'. That switch is an odd size, I'm not aware if a replacement has been found. I just left my media usb port disconnected in the dash with the dummy switch intact, and relocated a functional one to the glovebox for an AAWireless device for wireless Android Auto.

 

Great minds think alike! I was headed down the same path, but ran into a big snag. The USB outlet is a different size than the rest of the switches. More here:

Fit the Yakima OutPost HD Rack System and FrontLoader Upright Bike Carrier to the DiamondBack HD cover, then loaded up the bikes and cooler for a test ride.
