What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

[jichoe]

How do you like the idatalink Maestro with the Pioneer. We are doing a similar install today on my Fiance's FJ with a Kenwood with Maestro + Steering wheel controls, HDMI/USB input and connecting the sharkfin. Are you able to obtain individual tire pressures/door ajar etc?

I am thinking about doing a similar install in mine but then realized I can get most of the stuff I want with just getting an iPad and a OBDII BT module. The one nice thing would be having apple carplay available since Entune is terrible.

It's integrated very well and the TPMS readout is very comforting to have. I'll try to take a picture of the screen when I get a chance. I had a slow leak coming from an off-road event and over the course of 3 hours went from 44psi down to 18 when the light finally came on.

I haven't used the HDMI/aux in myself, I don't have a need for it but seems to be a quick plug and play for it.

Crutchfield has a GPS plug adapter, highly recommend. There are two plug, one from the top and one below. These adapters will let you plug and play as well. I used one for the GPS and one for my XM. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_794SATTO2/iDatalink-ACC-SAT-TO2.html

I was not able to get the OEM USB to work and got a standalone plug for both aux and USB. USB1 is for Apple Carplay and USB2 is for Android Auto. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L2SF64E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Last, the instructions are somewhat confusing but the OBD2 plug is required for the TPMS readouts. The gauges come through the main harness. Not sure if that will interfere with your iPad setup as I believe the plug may allow both, but can't confirm as I don't have any additional plugs for mine.

Good luck!

guys, i believe members here have been doing vinyl wraps on the radio surround piece.

The vinyl wraps have looked really clean from what Ive seen. Here is just one of the many threads of members having done this:

TRD Pro aftermarket stereo

Tried to 3x but the corners are impossible to figure out. Called a vinyl shop here but the guy recommended hydro-dip. Shrug, I'm not too worried about it.

Thanks for the tip though. [emoji41]

Gorilla Mad Film Wraps in Redmond.

I've been going to them for years. Troy is the owner and a great guy. He's all about quality.

Dropped off the family at the airport for 5 days of bachelorhood. Then drove it to HD to pick up wood for my next version of rear storage/fridge slide setup. [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] wish you were around buddy!

arty:

List of things to do while wife and kids gone:

-New rear storage/fridge setup
-40" lightbar install
-reroute wiring for compressor
-AC refresher kit
-reinstall transfer case skid
-drink a lot of beer

Hoping to get out Saturday night to camp overnight with the dog, probably skip putting the RTT on for just me and the dog.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna finally bring my build thread up to date as well!

Trust me, I been around!

Corey (4rnrgrl) was just over to brainstorm her storage box that I'll be building next AND I been working on a top secret project for a crazy forum member in Colorado. My PM box is gonna break the internet.

It's almost all figured out and done too. :dancin:

You beat me to it....I have my Cement getting transported from STL 2nd week in April and its getting delivered to the shop to get full frontal clear bra protection and black roof with the spoiler.....looks great :thumb:

I got my Baja Designs Squadron Pro spots and CBI ditch light brackets mounted up, still need to get the wiring complete. As someone who sucks at electrical, I found the included instructions pretty lacking as they don't include a wiring diagram. It seems pretty straight forward but I would like to have the reassurance that I'm doing it right. The CBI brackets won't allow the hood to sit flush unless you cut out the affected areas from the plastic tray that sits under the wipers. I closed the hood and marked off the area where they make contact and attempted to cut the minimum amount of plastic out, but it looked like ass. The plastic is really thick. So I used a heat gun to melt the plastic, then shut the hood and put my body weight over the brackets. Hood sits flush now and it doesn't look AS bad and you wouldn't notice unless you stick your face back there. Be sure to trace or use a marker to line up the hood to the hinges before you put the brackets on, or you're gonna have a bad time. Can't wait to get these things wired up, the quality seems awesome! Gratuitous beer pic.

Ditch lights

Nice I just got a pair of brackets myself, trying to decide if I want to use one as my antenna mount:artist2:

If you don't mind (or PM me) super curious, what did they charge you for the roof? The last quote I got was stupid, pretty much thinking the guy I spoke with was an ass, considering he quoted me four times what I paid (from the same shop) for the hood.
