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

does that answer it? lol

 

Yep. Weld those side plates to the bumper lol. We tried your method and it flexed way too bad.

 

ya thats the back and forth Ive toyed with. I want to avoid it as much as possible but bottom line is I dont want it to fall off on the highway lol

 

Sliders installed and ready for Mondays trip.
Before

After

 

looks good! Trail gear?

 

Nah. Local fabricator out of his garage.

 

Halfway through speaker install. Fronts are done, reads tomorrow. Most of a sheet of Dynamat in each door, Dynamat around where the speaker adapters connect to the doors, crossovers mounted, drilled and chiseled the old tweeters out of the mounts to reuse them, epoxied new tweeters in their place. Been a time but they do sound noticeably better already.

I did bypass the stock tweeters by snagging the plug off the stock tweeters and bridged the wires together like that. Keeps the factory wiring intact and leaves the option to put stock speakers back in (if that’s a concern for someone.)

 

DCLB looking sexy, nice, I like the set up

 

I'm a big fan. I leave it off most of the time for daily driving, and use it when I leave town. It's quick and easy to use.

 

I can only speak to my experience... My 09 still looks & runs great.

 

Must be because @DocD owns an 09.
An 08 Access cab was the last year for rear door speakers in the door and the rear seat bottoms folded forward, making the rear passenger area a flat platform. 2009-2015's have rear speakers (if you can call them speakers) in the headliner and the rear seats fold up. The seats take up more space when not in use and you end up having a two tiered platform.

 

My 09 AC has headliner speakers but none in the rear doors.

 

Without.
I just wanted adjust-ability, no heat or signal lights.

The funny thing is that I had to order the "cover" separate.

 

Then 08 must be the last year for rear door speakers.

 

Put my tent back on for spring, reinstalled my battleborn battery, and put my dometic back in.

 

Forgot to post that these arrived in the mail.
Now I'm just waiting for it to warm up some more (68*) so I can apply them to the rear bedside.
They are supposed to be for a turd gen but the length (36") will be perfect for what I need.
I got them here: http://jupiteronearth.co/product/classic-toyota-racing-slashes-3rdg

 

If you trim those mud flaps it will look like you have a six inch lift

 

I’m a little late to post it but this happened Friday... I guess it’s time to trade her in

 

Scrap yard. Better get her towed. Probably won’t make it under her own power.

 

Thank you! I appreciate it!
