What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I like it. Hopefull this year i can upgrade my stock unit.

 

What year is your truck?

 

Thanks it's one piece of the puzzle. I have the Pioneer powering the stock speakers until I have time to install the rest.

Two bulk packs of Stinger Roadkill. Two sets of Infinity Kappa components for the front and rear doors running off of an NVX JAD800.4 and two JL Audio 10TW3 woofers running off of an NVX JAD1200.1

This is as far as I got with the amplifier wiring before calling it a day:

 

2014

 

Some stinger speed wire saved me some time with my install

 

I didnt think our model trucks would put out that much digital info to head unit! Hahaha

 

If you wait a few more months, Pioneer may have new models out. The 4201 I have is basically last year's 4200 but they added a camera in the box and called it a 4201. Even though the box says 4201 the radio still says 4200 on it.

The camera is a nice touch though. I already have a stock backup camera so I mounted the Pioneer one in the grill. So now I can park closer to stuff without worrying about hitting anything.

 

That's good info. Can you change the lights on that unit to Amber, green , red, etc?

 

They don't in stock form. That extra stuff is from using the iDatalink Maestro interface. It handles steering wheel buttons so they work with the Pioneer and the OBD stuff is an added bonus. On some vehicles, when you replace the radio, the A/C controls are part of the stock radio. In those cases the Maestro will also allow the Pioneer to control your A/C functions. In some vehicle's it'll also display the radar parking sensors too. See the other two tabs that are greyed out:

 

Yes. Infinite color choice. For the buttons, the screen etc. You can change background images, startup image etc. It's a VERY nice unit. Pioneer has a series of videos on YouTube that teach how to operate the NEX units.

Spot on

 

Your pull out game is strong.

 

Time for me to save up..lol. I know by the time i'm ready to pull the the trigger a higher model will be out but hey It's been a long time since I've had a nice unit. I'm sure my little girls would appreciate it too.

man, that's a quote waiting to be butchered!! lol

 

How'd you get it to display each tires pressure?

 

I got my bed rack welded up and test fit a cargo basket... Still need to paint everything of course but I'm undecided if I'll keep the basket or go with a prinsu topper rack. With a few ubolts and small spacers it'd sit perfectly level with my cab rack. What do ya think, basket or prinsu? They both have their advantages and disadvantages. I initially tried the basket for easier loading and lashing of my camp boxes when I move away from using my trailer, but I do love my cab rack's versatility.

 

Tell me about it lol
I think I've had my billies in garage for better part of year and just barely got the coils mounted about a month ago- I'm right on track to have them installed by end of summer ha

Plan on installing yourself or going with a shop?

Looking good!
how much lift did you end up going with?

 

This is fricking saweet!

 

Thanks guys!

 

Made my own cb antenna mount. Now just waiting for my 4 ft firestik to come in.

 

Give me your wheels! haha, Welcome to the club!
