    I went with a JL Audio sub for my RC. It’s the PowerWedge+ 10” self powered model, and I added the optional remote volume control. I could not be happier with the output given the compact size, and the built in amp made installation a breeze. The width of the box fit perfectly between existing threaded holes in the cross cab reinforcement, making it easy to bolt it it right in. I installed the volume control in one of the stock blanks below the HVAC controls, making for easy adjustments.

    Installed a cheapo bike rack. Going camping and I want to take the bike with us. No room anywhere else after all the camping gear and the dogs.

    So bout a month or 2 ago I rear-ended some due to deer. Locked up for first deer then a 2nd after we both got on gas & that whe I hit her. But shit happens. My @Mobtown Offroad bumper saved my trucks life. A week or 2 later I was a victim of a hit & run!! Completely bent my tailgate in half. Still drivable atm. So lot of changes coming to the taco starting w/ new level8 mk6's 17x9 -12 offset wrapped in nitto ridge grapplers 285 70 17. Pinch welds done. Need to do CMC still... only rubs slightly in reverse both left & right. New tailgate is being sprayed now....

    Installed Spiker hood struts. I love them, the hood opens up like a dream. The extra clearance is nice too.
