What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I don’t know why but the trash bag ghost comment is the best! Someone needs to make a sticker or patch for that one

 

3rd gen & 1st gen Tacoma

& Jake the Pitbull’ at work today

 

It's funny how different people have different experiences with the same tire. My dad has had great experience with six sets on two different trucks. That's the only tire he'll run.

 

In terms of reliability, they were great. But snow and rain traction-even my falken MTs were superior. Obviously the mud tire was superior in the mud, but they were MUCH quieter on pavement than the coopers in my experience. I think ya did well

 

6x9’s in. Simplest mod ever.

Anyone looking to upgrade, over stock I say find a decent sale and switch them out, your brand of choice, kicker, alpine, pioneer, infinity, etc.

Crutchfield was very quick with shipping. 2 business days to TX @ no extra cost. Provided plug and play harness as well as 6x9 brackets for free.

 

I too installed those Infinitys. The only issue I discovered is that it took a few weeks to break them in. Also recommend sound deadening behind them to improve base response.

 

Im going to order that next. I ended up pressing the the push-button on the angled tweeter. Supposedly the output level goes from 0dB or -3dB to optimize system linearity. Doubt it’ll make a big difference on stock head unit lol.

 

No idea regarding bed length. I'm a short bed and with this relocation the tire still has an inch of clearance before it contacts the tow bar.

 

damn it Bobby... road salt?

 

Sharp truck, still to close to the cart rack, even down towards the end of the parking lot. We take the ole lady's car to walmart..

 

haha thank you, i usually park at the end but no one was barely at walmart today.

 

Re-geared to 5.29’s at ECGS. Sorry gears arent sexy cuz you can’t see them so no pics but damn it’s a great mod.

 

What brand new LCA you go with? Must be some $$$$ huh?

 

Did a few things to the truck before heading out west on a 4800 mile road trip earlier this month.

Hooke flat tailgate panel

Cheap and Easy Water Jug Mount


Both pretty simple and quick mods.

 

How do 5.29's feel on the road? What is your tire size?

 

That’s what I do…..on both counts!

 

I agree… Crutchfield rocks! That’s where I got all six Kickers from.

 

I’m going w bigger tires soon. But the gears are awesome. Night and day diff. I’d recommend them on a stock truck.

here’s cut paste from my post about ECGS

I’m on a 265/70/17 and just quick numbers as I’m breaking them in and only hit 70 for a few mins on a stretch of road. Stock at 70 I was about 1750 rpm…. But realistically almost always at 2000 rpm at 70 due to the constant down shifting my truck does - Now w 5.29 and my tire size I do 2300 at 70 which is fine w me. I rarely drive any faster than that. (And I know I’ll go w bigger tires in the future)

Anyway this was just a shot out to ECGS - Top Notch all the way.

 

Soundproofed the rear as well as I could. Took out the seats and made my own molle panel
