    Hey all,

    Well I have finally made it home from Afghan land and I am really enjoying my new Taco!! I have only been home 4 days but have already installed my nerf bars, black badges, AntennaX, painted to match grille, Pioneer AVH4400BH, Shift knob, Philips X-treme's.

    Unfortunately we don't get too much sun up here in the Pacific Northwest during this time but I managed to snap some new pics. Let me know what you think!!

    Nice. Did you have to do any mods to get the Pioneer AVH4400BH to fit? How do you like it?

    Cheers from Port Angeles

    Actually not really, however I will say that the Scosche?? kit will fit better than this damn Metra one. But other than having to almost completely disassemble the stock stereo to get the bottom piece out (the one with the hazard button) it went relatively smoothly. I also installed the ASWC kit for the steering wheel controls and I am very happy I did so. Still rocking the stock speakers for now but sounds so much better!!

    Dude,

    I wanted to install them so bad, I have even derped them black...but the problem is I ordered that 11' grille and they don't fit....I am trying to see what mods are out there that I can retro them to fit the new grille, but until them I will have to hold off!!
