What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got lifted today! Hoping to get this bad boy aligned asap to take it up to dem' hills

 

This is my 2017 SR5 4x4 double cab long bed
I added a 3 way active front stage with an iPad slider kit. All the work was done by JT at Automotive Entertainment in Huntington Beach CA. He’s definitely one of the best in the business and other than that all I did was remove all the emblems, color matched the rear bumper and painted the front chrome trims black. The goal was to keep it as stock looking as possible.

The iPad controls the audio, gps, and rear back up camera.
Speakers are all hertz audio
- ML 280.3 Legends (tweeters)
- ML 700.3 Legends (pillars)
- ML 1650.3 LEGENDS (doors)
This is what I have in the front

I have one 10” sub woofer in the rear in sealed box (MP 250 D4.3)

The 280.3s and 700.3s and the sub is ran off of the Hertz HCP 5D(5 channel amp)
And the 1650.3s are ran off a HCP 2x(2 channel amp)

Oh and can’t forget the kenwood deck behind the iPad which controls the bluetooth from your phone.

All the steering wheel controls still work you can skip the track raise the volume and answer your phone so you don’t lose anything besides a volume knob but who needs that lol

Everything is ran active and tuned with a hertz digital sound processor.
Tuning is the most important part of this. Especially when going active.

 

lol all good we can use this to communicate
no sliders here and I've gone to some cool places

 

That's badass. More info please. Never seen the pillar speaker set up. What does the tablet do or control??

 

OOO, very very nice!

Can you list what your whole sounds system is made up of? Besides the very slick integration of the iPad, all I can see are I see some Hertz speakers (love those speakers!) and the Kenwood (another great brand which that I've had good experience with)...

 

Bed Rack from Dissent Off-Road.

 

So I'm the new guy in the room
Here's my 2017 and the progress from showroom to now (3 weeks).
Adding a Wilco Solo spare tire carrier tomorrow with matching spare time and rim.
Should be trail ready very soon.
Need sliders.
What else y'all?

 

Cooper ST maxx came quick!

285s

 

Caliraised LED bars are amazing for the money.

The lady and I hit 5 digits tonight. I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

 

Scored some BD Squadron sports using eBay 20% off code PSPRING20





I'll be selling my Morimoto XBs soon if anyone's looking.

 

While I’m excited to see pictures...and I’m sure a video....kinda sad to see you leave the 265/75 group you carried the torch well my friend!

 

I think you be happy with them! I can't wait to see pictures!!!

 

Thanks!


@KTJO 4x4 I was just checking out your build thread! That’s a badass rig you got there. I see your rocking the same decals too lol

Nice looking truck

 

Hit 25,000 miles in 14 months of ownership. Just trying to wear down the stock tires so I can upgrade when I install my lift later this year.


Also, the warning light is for the “maintenance required” schenanigans the computer plays.

 

I always gotta do pics and a video. lol.

i'm proud to have donned the 265/75s. Of course now I'm adding more mods to offset things once more.

Stay tuned guys.

 

I'm out of money on the truck for a hot minute, so cheap and easy work is on the schedule for a couple months!
Before...


After. Plastidip is a wonderful $6 solution to so many "problems".

 

I installed an actuator to my tail gate!



And now it lucks and unluck with the fob.

 

Big project coming up in a few weeks. Helping a buddy get all this shit on his Tacoma. As well as a CBI front bumper and some other odds and ends
