That’s exactly how i wanted to go about adding CarPlay to the lx



Any updates on the 2003+ model years?
For the LC? Hopefully getting final fit confirmation early next week. It's taken FOREVER, and I apologize for that. Having to ship a prototype (or three, usually) off, wait for it to arrive, wait a week (or two...) for someone to fit check it, and then make modifications & repeat the whole process again has been tedious, hah! We're close though.
 
Installed the LJE bracket on my 98 LC

Blue Sea HD switch and ANL fuse block. This will be shutoff and fuse for wiring my Comeup winch. Will probably also run an heavy wire with Anderson plug through the switch as well for my compressor (puma 12v)

Thanks for sharing!! That looks great. It's a tight spot, but not many other options near the battery for a 98-02.
 
Yessir - it'll fit your headunit perfectly (assuming it looks like the one in the photos above). I'll re-word the website listing to make it a little more clear, because it's certainly not optimal, haha.
Is the wedgie strong enough to hold an 11 inch ipad?

I honestly think it is - it locks in VERY tight, and the part design, material, and print orientation means it's super strong.
 
Here's something I've been working on the past couple of days - ditch light mounts!
(prints are done with cheap material on an old printer - production ones will look much nicer!)

These have a 30 degree outward & 10 degree downward tilt.

Still lots to do, but the design is taking shape! These'll take the Baja S2 or clones.

The community has been awesome this year, and I can't express how thankful @MongooseGA and I are for all your support. I'm drastically expanding capabilities this next year, and can't wait for all the new projects.
 
Can we get something to remove the factory DVD system and cover up the hole up there ? My wife hits her head each time she gets back there with baby.
Which "factory DVD player" do you have? I think I've seen about three different types, haha.
 
@LJE does the 98-07 2 piece engine bay switch board bracket clear the engine cover?
Great question! Honestly never considered that, haha.

Based on the photos from @NearJetties above, the bracket clears, but I'm not sure you could mount an Auxbeam on the horizontal piece with the engine cover in place.
 
Ooof. That thing is HUGE. I *believe* that's actually an aftermarket (or, at the very least, a port-installed) DVD player. The OEM DVD player in my LX is much smaller, and the actual DVD player itself is in a cubby in the 3rd row area, right in front of the wheelwell. The part of the roof is just a screen (or, it was, before I converted it to storage).

I wonder if you just have a 'OEM dome light' sized hole in your headliner, or is it cut out to fit that monstrosity? I'd love to be able to help, but without having a truck with one of those I don't think I'll be able to.

Yep, that is not factory.
 
BLACK FRIDAY SALE!

Ordered a Wedgie, Ash Tray Mount and Fire Extinguisher Mount.

Doh. Ok I’ll see what’s under it and hope they didn’t cut. After all these years I had no clue it wasn’t there originally. Thanks all.

Mine's even worse than yours. Maybe next week I'll find time to tear it off and see what's underneath. Sure would like to delete it or replace it with something useful.
