Na brah, 265/75/16s don't rub, and I've flexed pretty hard on some trails. Maybe on an SR or SR5 I guess, but you are good to go on a TRD OR.

I have the Kicker too and put it on a switch blank! Really easy! Like your knob better though!

It’s a left over custom radio knob from @OneMoreToyota

Not sure if he still makes them or not

I’d love to get a %300-500 scale one to make a shift boot trim ring.

No problem. I ordered a sheet off of ebay since they had free shipping, and I couldn't find any decent prices locally. The full sheet is 1/2" x 24" x 48", so I worked with what I had. I ended up cutting the sheet down to 15" x 46" so that it lined up with the bolts in the tailgate and still allowed for enough bolts in the composite end caps.

Initially I planned to have the HDPE sheet cover the whole tailgate, but then I would have had to upgrade to a HDPE sheet twice the size and twice the price. It was a little scary to cut my composite tailgate cover, but so far so good; and I like having the composite end caps provide a perfect fit for the latch and sides.

Thank you! MVP right here

Ah well,
This is the DMH WC6600nex. It’s not cheap, but worth the investment IMO because I’m keeping this vehicle, it’s seems to be fairly future proof, and it’s a lot of smiles for the miles. The cost for the unit is $895.00. Here it is on the Pioneer site. https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/NEX/DMH-WC6600NEX

The main adapter that’s needed is the Maestro and the maestro wiring harness. Those add about another $200.00. Might be a bit less than that. There are a few other adapters needed that are peanuts compared to what I’ve mentioned so far.

I have a long winded build thread and it has links to a couple of other TW threads that have parts lists and discussion of install.

sound quality, screen, features are all great. I haven’t had much lag at all. I’m still learning some of it. A road trip would help. Here is my long winded thread, check out the other links at the top — https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...h-pioneer-dmh-wc6600nex.694239/#post-24538729

awesome! Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to respond back. Have a good weekend.

16" Motegi MR150 put on a couple of days ago. Really like these wheels

Not exactly "today" but in the last couple weeks... I just bought a 21 TRD Sport AC and immediately started by stripping all the emblems and stickers

installed some 4" oval side steps and just had my front windows tinted as well as the fog lights.

also swapped out the stock shifter and am super happy with the replacement. replaced interior lights with LED maybe you can tell from the pic... also swapped the fog and headlight bulb over to LED

I really want to upgrade the sound system next. After that I would be happy driving this thing into the ground . I'm used to big bass from sedans and wagons with subwoofer boxes in the past and the only (expensive) option that seems to fit well is the jl stealthbox which I eventually want to get..for now will have to settle with upgrading the stock speakers to see if it makes a difference

Access cab with 3 pedals! You made the best choice (no bias here)! Sweet & clean ride -- welcome to the forum and let the spending begin

OEM Audio Plus is what I want for a stereo upgrade -- if that happens -- well, I'm both poor & cheap...

Thanks for the suggestion! This is one of those "once you see, you can't unsee" moments. Never noticed it til now, but in all the pics on here from those who've removed it sure do look nice. But I also do a ton of highway commuting, so we'll have to see how big the mpg hit actually is. Definitely gonna give it a try though.

You won't see a change. 90 mile round trip and the only time mine changes is when the foot gets too heavy.

I did this.

I like the wave effect though I’m not entirely pleased.

The two arms of the crack are a bit different in their angle and slope and the left one has a jog in it near the end but still....for my ‘first crack at it’ I think I did pretty good.

Offroad lights mounted on my Blackhorse Rollbar. Still need to get a harness to fully install them. Unfortunately they aren't plug and play so it's probably gonna be a mess to wire them.

Man that looks great - I always liked the retro/mini-truck/Back to the Future Tacoma look. NICE.

Damn. Is that just what the pods on and which ones are those?

Edit. I just saw your other post that they have the side lights. I'm assuming these.

Yes those are the ones I have. That was with headlights on also.

Appreciate it, man. Tires are 265/70/17s also on stock suspension. So far, I’ve only gotten just the rear mudflaps, but wondering if I should go full set with the fronts. So no idea if it’ll rub or not, yet.
Click to expand...

I'm running the same size tire with -12 offset wheels. My front mudflaps rubbed ALOT. I even went for cheap thin ones and i ended up cutting them basically in half, I also had to heat up and mold the wheel wells
