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

Santa might bring me them,

 

That looks similar to the Metra one that I used. DO NOT go with that one. The brackets that hold the head unit are plastic and it rattles like nobody's business. I have business cards stuffed all around it to keep the rattle down. Looks ghetto AF.

 

Lifted and wheels installed

 

Just a run of the mill Metra one. Crutchfield suggested it when purchasing the head unit. It’s nice because it retained the bubble effect(?) of the stock radio trim.

 

I did the same thing, but I didn't match my interior trim. My interior around the old head unit was black, I chose the grey textured. I actually really like the two-tone it turned out with.

 

Those the truck version of Rpf1s?

 

I was installing mine and all the stitch came apart so they said they are sending me a replacement

 

What dual band antenna is that up front?

 

Fishing line and a decal remover, super easy to do




and installed front speakers

 

Yes sir.. Enkei RTP1 at only 18lbs per wheel. My plan was to reduce any rotational mass to mitigate loss of power and mpg.

I was going to order Volk TE37X but 6 month wait after spending $2700 would be too difficult for an impatient person such as I.

 

Test-fitted this today, what do you think;

 

Looks like a Laird or Browning.

 

Not my taste but it's your truck!

 

Does this install right over top of the existing or are there extra steps?

 

That's a Midland 6dB gain GMRS antenna

 

Finally got my color matched "Raptor" grill in the mail today.
Got the mesh painted gunmetal instead of the plain black and had a custom badge made.
I also got some clear/white lights to switch out to see which look better.
Gonna install it tomorrow when I got some day light to wire the lights.

Those wheels look super sweet. I just bought basic bitch Method NVs, but I'm pretty excited. Hopefully they can bring my total wheel/tire weight down from 76 pounds

 

Ok guys I have the toytec boss coils, 650lb coils, 2" of thread showing, and 170lb plate bumper on the front. Ride is very stiff and rough (can feel every crack in the road). Do you guys think swapping to 700 lb coils is going to work/ help soften the ride? I have no other armor to add extra weight and no plans on putting more up front.

 

Ok let e understand this please. You have 650# coils now and your ride is very rough as in the coils are too stiff which is the issue and considering 700lb coils to soften it up? 700lb coils are even heavier and will only compound the issues. The amount of preload established by how have the adjusters screwed down also magnifies the issues. As in if you had regular 5100's with lift coils and then also moved the adjustment clip anywhere other than zero

 

Aftermarket wheel combo > stock wheel combo all day! Yeah I'm running LT285/75 and they're 60lbs a tire. So currently 78lbs is my educated guess on weight
