What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Is the "premium" sound system really that bad?

 

Coming from someone who has built systems in every car they've owned since the mid 00's, yes. But it's leaps and bounds ahead of what comes in the standard Tacoma's.

I get where you're going and would love to give him the benefit of the doubt but it seems to be the norm for people to be driving around with their ditch/lightbars on here and not the other way around. If someone flashed me with their ditch lights my first reaction would be to check that mine weren't on accidentally.

 

Liftd Customs. hit up @JIMMEISTER

 

Yeah, I just replaced both front and rear speakers in my stock system non JBL.
After replacing the speakers it sounds much better, except for the rear speakers. I'm guessing they limit the power to those since the stock speakers were tiny.
Now with the replacement speakers, they are severely under powered.

 

And I thought you were kidding!

 

Fair enough. Just seems like there's very little evidence to support the fact this driver is a douche bag, idiot, waste of space as opposed to a like minded driver that inadvertently made a simple mistake. Maybe he's a driver that likes to drive around blinding people. But then why not run headlights and fog lights as well. Maybe he goes home after work and slaps his wife around. Or maybe he just lost his job and found out his kid got hurt at school and accidentally hit his ditch light switch with his knee in a hurry to get in the truck and be by their side at the hospital. Now he's stuck in traffic in a hurry to get there. And maybe his spirits were lifted a bit when another truck flashed his lights to say Hey buddy. I'd just feel bad to have passed all this judgement on him because of something so inconsequential. Maybe I'm just too soft.

 

Lol.. he's probably an attention seeking jerk... Look at my yellow lights folks ..... Although mistakes do happen

 

how does that new sub sound?

 

Isopropyl alcohol worked really well for mine. Goo Gone helped but the alcohol took it off much faster.

 

installed the tailgate power lock. My first bigger thing I've done, thanks to a lot of help from YouTube. Turned out to be way easier than I thought it would be and sooooo much more convenient

 

I got tracking numbers for the teal Falcon T8 seekers this morning. Tentatively May 4th. May the 4th be with them until they arrive.

 

dash says 8.9 but my speedo is off by 11%

 

Not sure yet, it comes today. Will probably install on the weekend lol

 

Do you travel with the rear rack or stow it until you get to the beach?

 

No drilling needed for the RCI Offroad and I picked it over the prinsu for more than a couple of reasons!

 

Looks to be a @JIMMEISTER product - check the following thread for more details. Only wish someone would offer a solution for TE37s

Ha ha

 

Havent had a chance to replace my shocks yet.

Hopefully this weekend, but I did pick up a little gem, for anytime I need to quickly “kill time”, & for flights this summer.

Gotta love the classics.
