Open to suggestions

Howdy everyone, this is my first time posting on this site and was just wondering if I could get some ideas or suggestions for my Taco truck. I own a 2007, 4 cyl, 5 speed, regular cab Toyota Tacoma, nothing special, manual windows and door locks, no cruise control, 2 speed wipers, the usual base model lol. Ive owned Tacoma’s before when I first started driving but I bought this one about 8-10 months ago with a lift already in it and some custom wheels, less than 24 hours after buying the truck a deer decided to christen it with its blood and excrement. Well I bought new bumper gaurd, grill, and headlights and got it fixed, it’s my daily to and from work which is a mining company plant, so it just gets sand and stuff on it. I love a regular cab but I was just wondering what I could do to make it better, maybe tips for storage, helpful gadgets, stuff like that. I don’t really carry a lot of tools or anything like that but just seems like I could use some room, it’s fine if I’m riding alone but if anyone gets in it instantly becomes cramped, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

 

Welcome! Single cabs are cool..I have a 2010 2wd.

I bought a couple of nylon dry bags for storing straps, cleats, etc. I have a speaker enclosure behind my seat so I'm really at a premium for keeping stuff in my truck.

I'd suggest the intermittent wiper stalk swap. Takes about 10 minutes and makes a big difference IMO.

 

Nice truck! I drove a similar reg cab for work for a long time, no room at all Put a toolbox, then canopy on the back & it was the only way I was able to make it work. Lots of good mods & gadgets to add in this thread

Thank you! I’ll be sure to check the thread out, and yea I’m wanting to put a little sub behind my bench seat nothing big like my other truck that takes up all space possible but just something small less than half the back like a little 8” or 10”

 

What drivers were you using? I'm running a pair of 12s in mine and still get the seat just about all the way back..behind the seat, not under

 

I’m sorry I’m unfamiliar with the term drivers, does it mean subs?
If so my other truck for weekends is the white single cab Chevy in the back in the daytime photo, I just finished last week changing out my old subs for a set of 12” sundowns and new sub boxes and they take up every inch lol

 

Yup that's what I meant..gotcha. Technically it could be applied to any speaker though.

Liking the Casper decal there too.

 

Thank ya, that’s my baby lol, was my work truck till I got it too nice to be a daily and now the yoter is the daily, well not this weekend lol got a wheel bearing and 2 ball joints bout to go out in it but hopefully get it fixed tomorrow

 

While mine is a silver, I did get a Stormtrooper shift knob for it..because I'm a lifelong Star Wars nerd.

 

Heck yea I bet that looks good with the silver, my brother got me one for Christmas that’s black and red to match the truck and instead of 5th it says “fuckin fast” lol

 

Check in my album here, I might have a pic of it..though Darth Maul is my favorite.

That's awesome..mine is more on the loud side with the stereo of course

 

Heck yea I thought it would be a smooth ball with the image but that’s a full helmet, yea I want to just put a little sub in mine to thump to and from work

 

Yup, I wouldn't mind a Maul shifter but those horns..I'll have to just be happy with having him tattooed on my forearm.

You'd be fine with a 10" single or maybe even a Bazooka if they're still around..

 

Yea I’ve had experience with horn shifters, not fun. I didn’t think about a bazooka I might look into one of those, and gladly when I changed amps in my Chevy I got a perfectly good kicker amp to use already and the truck came with a blaupunkt single din unit but might get a double din touchscreen

 

She looks amazing

 

Had I not already had the 12" MTXs I might well have gone the Bazooka route for that same reason. Though I have a custom box that saves a lot of space.

I must see a pic of the Bluedot radio..had a few of them long ago

 

Thank you!

 

I’ll hopefully remember to catch a picture before I head to work tonight lol

 

I had a Memphis if I remember right..pull out tape player..
