What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I'm looking for performance like stock or marginally better. I've done audio builds in my cars many moons ago. Now I just want to be able to listen to music/news at a decent level.

 

$4.39 here

 

Depends on the dog! Haha. 3 pit bulls here. I wish I got as excited about anything as they do when I say “lake”

 

Then a full Kicker upgrade would be perfect!

 

5.29 here and coming down every day. Surprisingly shocked it didn’t continue to trend upward for the holiday.

 

can you tell a difference? I'm questions getting another one as my reception blows chunks

 

Much beefier. The truck feels much more planted and smooth now

 

Replaced the spark plugs. It was long over due. Anything to turn a wrench on my truck

 

The Subaru/Kicker tweeters and a set of decent coaxial speakers in the doors will be perfect for you. I changed my head unit as well, but the speakers were first and even with the factory radio, they were much better than stock.

 

I can second what others are telling you about Kickers. In my 3rd gen I put Kickers in front and rear doors with the Subaru tweeters in the dash. They rocked that pitiful entune premium head unit especially with cd or usb music. I put the 6 x 9 CS series and the same Subaru tweeters in my 2012 and 2008. I only changed the front door speakers. Now since changing head units my Kickers are plenty powerful with good bass. Best bang for the buck.

 

Good to know. It would be a good time to upgrade the speakers because I have to pull the door panels anyway to run wires for the power/heated mirrors.

Hopefully I can get by without installing a crossover, but we will see.

 

Just keep in mind that swapping stock tweeters to the Subaru/Kicker tweeters requires a simple mod to the connector. Very simple and can be found on youtube. Totally reversible.

Happy 4th of July !!!!!!

 

I have kickers in mine, did fronts, backs and tweeters, sounds WAY better than stock, and I listen to it LOUD...Wanna hear it LOUD right between the eyes...

And Im deaf in one ear and partially in the other, thanks Pratt and Whitney...

and thats why I have dogs with hair..not fur...

 

Ordered some aux switches from CH4x4 with their 4th discount code.

 

Another custom harness for the Tacoma. I took two t-harnesses and made one. There are six wires there plus one for starter #2. Just ordered a remote start.

 

Filled up @ $6.01 a gallon. Felt like I hit the lotto.

 

Oil and filter. 218,480
Need to find time to replace the mid pipe gasket. Got a nice leak.

 

Spent my holiday weekend off-roading and camping in the Buena Vista/ Salida area of central CO. Including finding a dog running miles from where it’s owners lost it and reuniting them. Had a fantastic time.

Least favorite thing might have been Tin Cup Pass, only because it was crazy crazy busy. More sxs than you can shake a stick at. It was super scenic anyways. having most of Aspen ridge to ourselves Sunday night was great.

 

It's $3.93/gal here right now. $2 a gal more seems insane!
