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

Yesterday I had a Pioneer amp, sub, and component speakers installed with factory non-Entune head unit. It sounds great. I love still having all the features like steering wheel controls and bluetooth, but with nice clear sound and a little thump.

It's a small box so I can move it around if needed. I can still fold down the seat too. I will probably get a grill to protect the sub for when I put gear bags, etc. back there.

The guy that installed it put a couple little scratches on my console when he pulled the head unit out. I was like *gasp!!* First imperfection on the truck, omg!! He felt really bad, but they're down low and hard to notice if you're not the guy who shelled out all the $$$ for the truck.


I also just recently discovered (yeah, I'm slow sometimes) that if I use the USB port for music from my iphone I can see the album artwork and the bluetooth still works for voice commands on google maps, etc.

Loving my truck more and more each day.

Also loving the Ride Rite air bags. This is a fairly heavy dual sport bike and I put around 20 psi in and it rides really nice.


Here's what it looked like before the air bags (with a bit more weight)

Ouch! That really suck's!

 

I want the TRD Supercharge so bad! Must be nice having such a beast knowing you can do some serious whoop ass on V8's!

 

and of course you always get those people who's only response to you trying to take care of your truck is..... "but it's a truck". Right, it can haul things and handle potholes better than your car. Doesn't mean it was designed for other people to break free of guilt, especially the cab.

 

installed the 5100s up front last night

 

my favorite is when they say "well you do this/that"

just because i damage my shiza from time to time does not mean you can... unless you want to make the payment as well, then it would be different.

 

That's where I got them, $100 for 5 wheels with the center caps and lug nuts. All I had to do was buy one lug nut(only had 23 in the bag he gave me) and a wire wheel to clean up where the tires will seat. My real love affair is with the 5 spoke FJ wheels, but these will do for now. I should be able to sell the spare on ebay and pretty much end up with a free set of wheels!

 

Saw those taillights on a truck last week. I thought they just opened up their taillights and blacked it out like people do with their headlights. It looks nice but I don't know about E-bay stuff... I'd rather pop open my oem tail lights.

 

You could paint your OEM ones that you already have and you don't have to spend the money to get another set.

I'm gettin the ride rite setup next summer to pull my new camp trailer. I hear they are worth the money

 

I got mine off EBAY 5 or 6 years ago and to this day they are still working great.
No leaks or fogging or anything like that.


Headlights I got off there? Another story

 

Finally installed the BajaRack.

 

piccccsssss

 

I haven't seen those kind of lights since they were on the 80's/90's Ford Mustang 5.0.

 

Vanilla Ice sold them to me off his 5.0

 

This is one reason why I do these things myself. So when I scratch it, I am mad at only myself, brush it off and move on.

 

haha

 

What's up with rear brakes at 25,000 ? Curious George

Got my console vault today - super easy install.
