What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

did you do the door speaker and rear sub? i dont think the tweeter is the problem but the main speaker just because the ridiculous tiny magnet the factory speaker have.

i haven't done mine waiting to get all the speakers. just to do it once.

 

You couldn't just tie it to the hood with some rope like everyone else?

 

I’ve got a bad back, can’t pick em up that high.

 

I feel if running a stock head unit just doing the front doors will be the best hearing difference.

The front dash speakers are not as much output as the Tundra, where the doors are woofers and highs and vocals come mainly from the front corner dash and center speaker. I'm currently working on offerings for this now, as it's not set up the same as the Tacoma

 

the deer didn't fit in the bed ?

 

After a couple days driving and listening, I've come to the conclusion that it did make a positive difference. I think I was expecting too much initially.
Was it worth the time? Yes, it only took maybe 20 minutes. Wasn't the best $100 I've spent on the truck, but knowing what I know now, I would do it again no problem.

I have new speakers for all 4 doors, just waiting on some free time. I also bought some insulation for the doors to help funnel the sound into the cab.

 

No joy...

 

Press lock button twice and on the third time press and hold until signal light blinks.

 

Nothing.im finding out that this Mexican market taco is sort of a Frankenstein as far as features go. Nothing tracks with what's available up there.

Thanks for the help

 

Some audio components arrived today. Still waiting on a bunch of things...







And for you Star Wars Fans like me

 

Its been years since I've done much in terms of speaker research, but I'm guessing those "ridiculous tiny magnets" are more than likely neodymium magnets, and as such, they don't need to be gigantic in size to be just as powerful as the old school ferrite magnets. I didn't look too closely, but this webpage seems to be geared towards a comparison between the two types from a sound perspective

 

Discovered that one of the bolts attaching the fan shroud to the radiator was missing -- must've vibrated out over time or was never installed from the factory. Ordered the OEM bolt and installed today with some Loctite.

If anyone else finds that theirs is missing and wants to replace it, the OEM part # is: 90119-A0123

 

Of course you will need to be within key fob signal distance. The 3 LOCK clicks work for my daughter's 2021 Rav4.

 

Went to the tire shop to see why I’m leaking air and found 2 punctures on the inner shoulder/sidewall. The Kevlar reinforcement is pretty disappointing and I only have 14k on them. Well it’s a good excuse to order some 265/75s!

 

What happens with 3 clicks? Sorry, to lazy right now to search for beginning of this...

 

Your truck explodes. Starts truck. 2 short presses 1 long press.

 

I heard that works for one year after purchase, then goes away unless you subscribe to the 'service'. Is that true?

 

I removed it, it is easy to remove, and it was cool in the garage. I did not follow the install instructions, I pulled the paper backing off, laid the carry paper sticky side up, and pressed the surround down on to the vinyl. It was easy to keep the same margin all the way around, then flipped it over, and pressed it onto the chamfers, cutting the carrier in the corners for easier stretch. It went fast, easy & it looks good.

 

I believe that is true if you continue to us their app. Fob should continue to work. My remote start is aftermarket

 

I’ve read that it’s tied to the subscription, but still works on my 2019. Don’t use entune app or Toyota app, no subscriptions of any kind. I bought used and it did come with an aftermarket auto start installed though.
