What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got a new shoe (yes, singular shoe) for this sucker.

 

It also looks almost indestructible!
I like it.

 

What happened?

 

According to the tow driver, I probably ran over a nail that passed right through the tire. Pair that with going at highway speeds gave me a quick flat and a shredded tire.

 

Winch and lights in. Waiting on my brother to come over and help me lift this heavy bastard on the truck.

 

Someone posted a few months back about the process of trying to weather proof his bed in preparation for putting a cap on. I never saw what the results were, or if he ever posted his experience after the cap was installed. Does anyone remember who this was, and the result?

 

Installed the Meso chrome delete kit. Subtle, but it's sure better than chrome

 

whoa

 

Looks really good! Mine is supposed to have been delivered today, can't wait.

 

Thanks man! Yea it took maybe 30 mins start to finish. Not quite as quick and easy as the install video showed but it wasn't bad. The start button had 2 tabs that were a bit difficult but the deed is done.

Now I'm waiting for Meso to come out with the AC knobs, and the upper vent rings. If I get impatient enough I might just go with AJT as those look great too.

Best of luck with your install and post some pics!

 

Got my eyes of Megatron today and threw them in. Initially looks so much better we will see how it is in the dark.

 

Added my Sons Flag that he wore from BCT through AIT (OSUT) for 22 weeks at Ft. Benning

 

Installed a Joying head unit... Best money I've ever spent and super easy to install. It also hooks right up to my existing anytime backup camera setup. Happy to answer any questions about the install process if you have any.

 

Much needed bath before the rain in a few days.

 

More details please

 

Truck looks great man

 

What specific model is this?
Also, are there two additional video inputs on that to incorporate a front camera and a cargo camera?

 

Looks really good.Really wish there was a CarPlay version of this or some of the bigger aftermarket players would come out with a bigger screen, everything from Alpine, Kenwood, etc. is either same size as stock or smaller.

It supports wired Android auto and apple apple carplay but I was not able to get them to work wirelessly. However, a better solution I'm using is to use my phone as a hotspot and have the head unit connect to it wirelessly so it can run its own apps rather than going through my phone. The thing is amazing and is a steal for the price. Time will tell if it holds up but so far I'm extremely pleased with it.

There are 2 video inputs but I didn't spend a lot of time trying to hook up both of them. Instead I used my anytime backup camera kit so I would be able to use the physical switch that came with it rather than having to toggle through the head unit menus. Also, if you have ant questions on units or install, Joying is very responsive to emails.

 

Sounds like a win win....
