What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

A few reasons why. 1st and foremost the entune in our trucks are horrible. Also if you don’t have a 2020 you do not have car play or android auto. I also upgraded my sound system and it made a huge difference with this deck. The deck is packed with options you do not get with the lack luster entune system. Now does someone need to spend 1k on a deck not really but that’s just me.

 

Got it! Makes a lot of sense thanks Anthony. I’ll consider switching out my deck as well when I am upgrading my sound system. I’d hate to not be able to get the most out of my speakers because of the stock deck

 

Absolutely. If you have any questions feel free to ask!!

 

Also, a lot of time you don’t get more power to the speakers per-sa, but way greater control to the speakers. You are able to fine tune your sound WAY more with most aftermarket head units. Actual sub control and as the op mentioned more options.

 

My wife came home while I was installing them and asked when I'd be done "pimping out my ride". Apparently "after I sell it" was the wrong answer.

 

New windshield day!

 

Zing

 

I agree, love mine! You should drill out the other 3 holes.

 

Yea I will at some point probably. But at the same time, only 3 bolts is less chrome than 6.

 

really curious to see how it handles keep us posted

 

Not done yet, but I started putting together a Switchpros 9100 on a powertray.

I absolutely cannot recommend power trays highly enough.
Edit: seriously, if you're going to get a switchpros or spod... Get a power tray and purchase the accessory bundle. The quality is fantastic, and it saves a hilarious amount of time

 

good thing you don’t have an 18’ and up. TSS turned a simple windshield install into a project. Had to call insurance company, then windshield place, then a company to recalibrate the TSS then back to the tint shop.

 

I’m assuming the rear main oil seal was covered under the 5 year 60k powertrain warranty? How many miles did you have on your truck?

I know stuff happens but disappointing to hear the rear main started leaking as you appear to have a 2017.

Way back in the day the head gaskets on my brand new 1992 Toyota truck failed twice in the 2nd or 3rd year and Toyota Canada repaired them both times under warranty. I owned the truck for 14 years with no other major issues. I just purchased a 2020 Taco after a 14 year hiatus of owing another vehicle so I’m hoping for another good ownership experience.

 

Something about "madder than a wet hen" comes to mind

 

Rolled er over boys, not exactly at the mark, but I couldn't resist a good Clutch association.

 

Nice!

my 16 hasn’t even hit 47k

 

For $20 she couldn't get too mad.

 

I had a piece of electrical tape covering the high beam indicator light in my old Audi (86 4kq). Anytime I used the highbeams I felt blinded by my dash lights. Otherwise that car had a real dim setting to it. For my Tacoma I’ve already switched out to red leds for my interior, and now I’m gonna piece of red tape over the little light that shines on the Qi charger.

 

Ooo wow. Didn’t know these motors were blowing up. That sucks at 67k. Let us know what it’s going to cost to fix. You going to fix it yourself or send it out?
