    I installed it myself. I ordered my HU from Crutchfield, they included the wire harness and Tacoma Dash Kit. I have no experience installing any car audio, the wiring diagram for the wire harness was simple and easy, everything was labeled. Once everything was wired correctly I took the stock head unit off and it was plug and play. Here is a video to remove the stock headunit.

    Thanks! I have gone to Sonoran Desert to drive some dirt roads. About a year ago, before my lift, I drove around Mt. Lemmon. It was a great drive, nice scenery (I did not have a camera to take pics).

    I know there have been a couple of people asking about a sound of the Dynomax muffler on a 2.7L. Here is my dynomax super turbo #17748. I will try and get better videos later, for now here is how it sounds.

    How's your power and mpg after installing the lift and dynomax? You planning to regear?

    I feel there is an increase in performance. Before I installed Dynomax muffler there was a lag in throttle response. Once the muffler was installed, I notice a difference, other then the noise, I felt immediate acceleration when I hit the gas. I am happy with my Tacoma, I don't think I will be regearing.

    I have a SG that tells me my MPG, the last tank average was 21.03 MPG all in the city. I have about 3/4ths of a tank left in the tank and SG says I have an average of 21.8 MPG. I am happy I still get 20+ MPG in town.

    I will be taking a 300+ trip back home to N. AZ. I'm looking forward to the Tacoma's interstate MPG.

    Just curious how much difference there is between running the 30 and 31 inch tires. You were running 30x9.5 tires before, right? I'm running 30 inch tires now and I'm considering a lift, but my concern is any power/mpg drop after doing it. Good to hear that you're still above 20 in the city though. I get about 24 in mixed driving.

    I did have power drop when I was running the 30x9.5 Yokohoma Geolander A/T-S. I then installed my dynomax muffler, This really made a difference, the power was back, the throttle response improved. When I went to the 31x105 BFGoodrich, power still felt the same even after replacing the Yokohomas.

    I know my MPG has been affected. Before the lift and bigger tires I had 215/75R15 BFGoodrich on stock wheels, my MPG was 23-24 MPG. With my current setup, I am getting ~21 MPG.

    The Tacoma looks totally different, increase the tire size and putting on some aftermarket wheels really brought the 'beast' out of my Tacoma.

    Man it looks great. :thumbsup:
    I'm glad you're happy with the performance too. That's been one of the things (besides $$) holding me back from the lift and tires. I might have to get one of those dynomax mufflers next. :rolleyes:
