What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Removed the factory JBL Subwoofer and installed a Kicker 12 in Sub with a Kenwood Excelon 502-1 amp. Sounds so much better. Now the Bass better matches the Infinity Kappa door speakers and component dash tweeters.

 

Finally had a chance to put on my TRD skid plate and Diode Dynamic SS3 Pros.

 

I’m thinking Taco Garage...

 

Did you get the 2ohm version? I’ll be going with the same sub setup.

 

Got her dirty.


I also got my son out for his first off road adventure. Was a pretty big group, 6 Tacomas, 3 4Runners and an FJ.

 

Yes I did. The Kenwood amp is rated at 500 watts rms at 2 ohm so it perfectly matches the sub. I did have to remove the back of the 60/40 split seat as the sub was vibrating against it. Overall very happy. Hits hard with the head unit and amp tuned around half gain.

 

Welcome to TW Ed!
Looking good!!

 

Nice and tight!

 

I rattle canned it. Not sure why. I coulda left it bare aluminum and prolly would hide dings and scratches better. Oh well. It came out okay for a skid plate. Hope it holds up well.

 

No dogs allowed on the beaches around here until October thanks to irresponsible dog owners!

 

Duplicolor! Available in a pen or spray. Been using it for more years than I care to admit. Google their site.

 

Thinking outside the box!

 

Pretty sure Duplicolor pen has color on one end clear on the other. Google to be sure.

 

With 2 kids and another on the way, figured now is the time to get these Clazzio seat covers on before the kids stain the cloth seats. These things are freaking awesome! However, I NEVER want to do these again. I think I sweat enough in this iowa humidity that I won't need to piss again for a week.

 

Yeah I am thinking of going with leather for my 2wd 2020 Tacoma but not sure I want to spend that much LOL kid is 21 so no worries there @SpyderRC Were they that hard to install I couldn't do it in this Florida heat

 

That's what beer is for!
Better than roll on deodorant.

 

I totally understand, I was a crew chief on RF-4'S and 135's. Now I am just a Chief trying to teach this new generation how to work on KC-135'S.

 

Maybe in California. But in Maine the aluminum would still corrode from the salt and look terrible.

 

Yeah, they're pricey but the quality is top notch. Honestly, I think it would have been A LOT easier if it wasn't so damn humid.

 

You guys have such cool jobs!
