    Just finished it. Not much of an episode if you ask me. They need to get rid of the freakin motorcycle. They're all about the right equipment for the terrain in every aspect and then they bring a goober on two wheels :facepalm:

    Yeah it wasn't as good as some other episodes. But I do really like how it's all filmed. And yeah the guy on the bike is a little ridiculous lol. It's crazy to see how their Tacoma looks. They have the suspension I want (full OME w/ AAL) and it is so loaded down with all their gear they have in it. Yet it still gets the job done, which gives me great hope for what I will be doing to my truck :D

    Double din suggestions? Also thinking about a skid plate, LED tail lights, and cold intake? Anyone have any suggestions? Notice any performance boost with intake on NA engine?

    Not going to see any real performance gains from an intake. It will sound cooler though, so if that's worth it to you (it was for me) I'd still go for it.

    Double din lots of people have pioneer's. depends on what features you're after. I've got an appradio 2 that works great as long as you don't have or plan to upgrade to iPhone 5.

    Skid plates talk to billy at brute force fab as he's got some in the works and we have a pallet coming up in a few months so you could save on shipping that way.


    Led tail lights I've got a set I really like, are you looking for a custom look or just upgrade the stock look?

    Nice! I'm jealous! Stock dunlops with 30k miles is less than ideal.

    Yeah I didnt find it very believable that the intake would increase HP and fuel economy like it was advertising. Already have the iPhone 5, so pissed it doesnt work with ApRadio, so clean looking. And as for tails i kinda just want to get rid of the amber and make them all red with LEDs or something. Found some SPYDER ones that look like they will work pretty good. Sooooooooo much I want to do. Went from an Audi to this. Miss my HIDs, heated seats, forced induction....but i DO NOT miss the electrical nightmare that it was.

    I've seen some of the spyders, mine are IPCW and I like them a lot. Get a lot of compliments on them.
