What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The 2023 TRD MiniVan spotted in the wild...

Swapped out all six spark plugs and reinstalled with OEM sparklers at 51,300 miles. The passenger side plugs were not as tight (13 ft/lbs aka 156 "/lbs) as the driver side plugs, and #3 & #5 smelled of gasoline without any discoloration of the coil packs.
Did the hard side, drivers first and got rewarded with the easier side after.

 

The more I drive in bright conditions, the more I'm ready to rip the chrome out and be able to see when I drive during the day. It's getting old quickly.

 

Finally put the Kicker Tweeters in. Big improvement. Doors are next on the list.

 

I did a thing… I was bored and it was cheap..

after…
Don’t know if I’m a fan yet.. the concept was better than the outcome..

 

Are those the icon progressive AAL? If so would you be willing to measure the arch for me?

Thats what she said!

 

Wrapped up the stereo upgrade (for now, lol). Previously upgraded dash and doors and finally got around to tidying up the amp install and adjustments. Ended up going with a Key 200.4 and before I got that installed I ordered a 10' sub and a Key 500.1.

Put amps under drivers seat and sub on floor behind passenger seat it actually fits perfect and is the same height as the factory compartment under the jump seat so it creates a nice platform for storage. Sub is a Kicker 10" 2ohm in a downfire box even at 300 watts from the Key I had to add a bass knob to turn it down. Very happy with the way it sounds now but I've been bitten and will probably run it for the summer then Bi Amp the 200.4 into some higher end components up front and ditch the rear doors altogether.

If you're looking for a space saving amp the 500.1 isn't much bigger than the 200.4 For reference both amps are mounted on a 10"x10" piece of 1/4" ABS and still had room for + and - junction blocks. Love the way these Key amps are small and mostly self tuning for us audio newbs. Having the amps under the seat also allows for much easier adjustments after install.

 

Nice! Clean setup for sure. Must sound awesome!

 

She calls it "fun size" and it's normal!

 

I got a whole thread about Fun-Sized! Ohh wait no I changed the title nevermind!

 

Thank You. It's obviously not full blown custom but it sounds great considering I'm just over a grand all in including the previously installed doors/dash and sound mat. Well worth the money. Door/dash upgrade was great for a month or so , then...well...you know.

 

don’t let you Dongar dongle dangle in the dirt,

Pickup you Dongar dongle and tuck it in your shirt.

Few will understand.

 

Thank you

 

JDFAB LT +2.25 and 934’s both recieved. Hopefully install this weekend. MT Fox 2.5’s w/resi sold, still have dirt king UCA’s and Dirt king LCA’s for sale. Will be off the truck this weekend.

 

I think I'm going to grab one of those 500.1's to go with my 200.4.

 

Made a little deadening and speaker install progress in 102 degree heat. Continuing tomorrow. The SecondSkin Pro 2mm is very nice quality and easy to work with and the Focal RCX-165's sound amazing for the $105 price point.

 

I just installed the RAV4 side mirror glass since I’m a peasant without BSM.. I didn’t take pictures bc it got dark pretty quick. It was super easy other than the heating wires were a bit stubborn to remove. Still took less than 10 minutes to do both.
