    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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

    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
