    I'm just giving you a hard time! Any upgrades to the stereo is a good buy IMHO!
    Just wait until you change out the speakers (if you decide to)!! :D

    Looks like those nuts/bolts would get ripped right out of the bottom on the first rock you hit. Is there a way to turn the bolts around so that the nut is on the top?

    2009 4WD Reg cab Taco. Keepin it simple.
    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    Just received my window deflectors and they're scratched up right out of the box. Not huge scratches just lots of little ones all over.
    Customer service says I should try to polish them. Also they will send me replacements but it'll be several weeks dues to back order. I call that a bunch of bull.
    So I'll install them and try to fix them a little but I'm already disappointed. :mad:

    Anyone else have this experience?

    Only if you ordered them from Autopartswarehouse.com can I say I've had the same kind of experience.

    According to Bud they are set up like that to reduce the chances of rubbing a hole in the gas tank :eek:

    Finally finished installing my CB radio. Had all the components for a while now but couldn't get myself to go ahead and install. Really glad I did, I'm loving it.

    Put the CB in. Couldn't figure out where I wanted to mount it, and wasn't real crazy about drilling holes, so I went to Lowe's and got some "pro" velcro...seems to be working just fine...and it's gray, so it matches the interior if I take the CB out..:)

    [​IMG]

    Again, being skittish about drilling holes, I got one of these through-the-window antennas. I don't suspect my range will be all that great, but it is working so far when I ask for a radio check out on the road.

    What have I done to my Tacoma today? I decided against loading it with gravel, it would have been the first heavy load since putting the AAL and 5100 billies on, she's a work truck.......but I decided to have the gravel delivered instead
