    Prinsu 3/4. Finally got around to it. Also- not totally happy with standoffs they give to mount with. Will be making custom feet. Stay tuned.

    2014 Neglected by the previous owners 2020 is an abused former rental... 2023 New I've been buying above my pay grade ☹️
    14SR5 3rd row seating - I routed front and rear dashcam wiring and am laying wires for underseat lighting

    Rear cam wire over the headliner. The rear cam will be mounted on a small square of plexiglass held in with the headliner "rivet."

    Power, including parking mode and a wire for door-controlled fade-on/fade-off footwell lights through the passenger-side A pillar. This is my 5th Toyota dashcam install, first time ever using the passenger side.

    I've completely removed the center console for wire routing of the underseat zones. I'll be using blue illuminated switches and bright white LEDs.

    I also spray painted the console cover with hammered aluminum spray paint. Not a color match, just a durability experiment.

    Instead of searching for the door light circuit wires, I just jumped them off the bulb base. The LEDs fade along with the dome & map lights.

    Not many photos...

    I did the same thing and bought the same course. I got 1/2 way through it then started learning about electronic circuits with breadboards, Morse code, etc. I need to get back on it.

    Also if you study for ur tech and the general license. Which is an upgrade from the tech license. You can take both tests back to back at the same time for only one testing fee.

    so even if you fail the second one you still walk out with the tech license. With no loss in test costs for the upgrade

    Bought two bottles of CT the other day. One's a gift and one's mine that I'll soon try for the first time. They were not easy to come by that's for sure. Where did you get the third row backs/cargo liners?

    No cool mods but did change the transmission fluid out. Did 4 drain and fills. Shifts are buttery smooth not that they were harsh before. Was original fluid and it had 88k on it, it didn’t look bad but after changing it on my 4th gen I wanted to get it changed on the 5th.

    You bet I do. Got the SR5 premium with 3rd row and then modified it.

    Okay - I did a mod for me too. Installed the Cali Raised LED Molle Panel on the driver's side.

    Install was a breeze, although when it's this simple I wish they would include written instructions and not make me watch a video.

    Seems well made. Can't wait to load it up.

    If you guys are looking for high quality seats that will fit 3 deep in a small vehicle, look Into the diano radian 3 seats. That’s what we use for the kids and it’s really great

    Oh boy… we first started with a pop-up camper. Sold it when we moved back east because I was afraid of the canvas mold (not an issue in Arizona). I use the Ironman awning enclosure for camping with my boys. But if we go camping with the entire family we will take a smaller 2 person tent for my wife and I. Keep it as simple as possible is the only option unless an off-road trailer is purchased (which I have been debating).

    I find the bedding, Mats and sleeping bags take up most of our room, makes packing a real pain. Going to be building a 5x8x4h trailer with a rtt sometime this year

    I watched a video on the RTT that turned me off unless I was to put it on a trailer. You plan on putting your RTT on a trailer?

    Definitely not going on my roof. It will be on a diy trailer similar to a hiker trailer accept for cost, not 5 times what it’s worth

    For sure, I won the right to buy the bottle at a local liquor store (Goody goody's in DFW)
