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

Das some purrdy parts ya go there

 

For the price and ease of install, I'd say its worth it. You probably won't notice a difference in road noise, but possibly in wind noise. There's much more solid feeling when closing the doors now, they feel much more air tight. Sometimes ill crack a window open before shutting my door when im getting in because it allows the air inside to escape. So for perceived quality alone, it's worth the $30 or so

 

Install it yourself! it's really easy, kinda fun and satisfying! I'm always looking for a little sound deadening weekend project. Just did my wheels wells this weekend.

 

Looks great ... looking to go a similar route soon. What size tire are you running and how do you like the ride after the update?

 

Stop.. your making me blush..

 

I don't know what their putting for engines in much newer Tundra's but my totally stock 2006 V6 auto with 37's just kicked the ass of a fairly new Tundra.

The nerve of the other driver, he actually thought he had more attitude than me. Well he did have more attitude than me until we came up on a red light.

I come to a intersection, nobody is moving, I'm in the right lane, my light is red, I'm turning right, nobody's moving, I hit the go pedal and turn right, the Tundra that was to my left gets right on my trucks butt because he obviously floored the gas pedal on the green light he had just gotten, then he swerves into the next lane over barely missing my truck, he's hauling butt and goes back into my lane cutting me off, no no no not gonna happen, madman (me) gets in the lane he just got out of and actually passed him - stock with 37's, so now it's apparently a race because we're both accelerating albeit his a little slower, lmao, my old Taco kicked his Tundra's butt, I have probably 500 or 600 pounds of tools on my truck, anyway get to the red light and I say "hey mother #$%/×+ why did you ÷×:;,#+ ^*^=@%# get on my ^%#@×<&;# and then you &>>/=×#... "well I had a green light and" "hey you $&$#×%* I'm gonna $&&==×_# if you don't ^&=×_&#......

Longest incomprehensible sentence in history ^^ LMAO!

No it wasn't near a school, or houses, or anything else remotely close to anything.

That's what I did to my Tacoma today, I used it to kick a Tundra's butt.

 

I have some chinese Ebay/Amazon flares with the "flaps" molded in. I masked off an outline and plasti dipped in the "mud flaps" to make it look not as obvious after paint matching them. I always giggled at them because they're so corny looking. I cant wait to chop half my flares off when I upsize my tires

 

Thank you. Tires are still stock height for now. I will circle back with a ride report after it gets aligned Friday.

 

Stealership wanted $2200 for compressor/condenser. Took it to a highly recommend local shop instead. We'll see what they say.

 

Good to know that's possible, Toyota wanted $2200 to replace compressor/condenser. Told em to pound sand and took it to a highly recommended local guy who said it'll probably be $700 total and offers a 3 year warranty. Should be hearing back later today. Appreciate the help though. Needed to get it fixed fast as possible as its supposed to be 107 out all next week. Not thrilled about that forecast...

 

Are you using any amplifiers in your system?

 

Do you have Bushwacker flares? If so, where did you get your black bolts?

I would be interested in getting rid of the hideous chrome hardware that comes with the Bushwackers...

The only concern is, what kinda black hardware you got there? Most black hardware I seen it develops flash rust if you stare at it for more then 3 seconds...

 

I do have Bushwacker's, it was one of the first mods I wanted to do to my truck. The hardware I got is from Bushwacker themselves and the hardware is stainless.

Yes a JL RD900/5 (5 channel) bridged as a 3 channel for 200w to each front door, 500w to the subs. And a JL MX280/4 (4channel) bridged as a 2 channel, for 140w to each rear door.

 

Installed a Relentless Summit bumper, Rigid SAE Amber fogs, and a 12k Trailmaster winch (won the winch in a raffle last year). Can’t wait to get this bitch aligned so I can see how the new suspension rides.

 

I like the low profile look of them! haha

 

Drove it to the alignment shop after a full front end rebuild.

 

I like your setup. I probably won’t be using as much power I’m thinking about 75 rms per channel for the doors and then 250x2 for the subs. Did you make any upgrades to your electrical system? I’m a little concerned about creating some kind of voltage instability problems.

 

Nice work. Looks like it was a little wet during installation!

Thanks again for choosing one of our bumpers!

My front speakers by Morel aren't so efficient because of the large voice coils, they need a minimum 140w rms, 300 peak. And because they're connected to passive crossovers, theyre losing a little bit of power to those.
