Just getting started 2013 taco only 45k on it

So im just getting started on my taco build so far the only thing done is swapping out the stock speaker system.

Have Done:
JBL GTO 609c speakers with stock headunit

Powered by a Pioneer gmd10004

I mounted the amp to the firewall up above the gas pedal

ON THE WAY!:
Readylift sst lift kit 2.75 front 1.75 back

Once i get my tax return im ordering:
xdseries enduro 16x8 wheels, hankook 245/70/16 tires and some go rhino 3" nerf bars



Here is pictures of what it looks like now prelift

Cant wait to get started on the lift! Ill keep this thread updated and thanks guys!

 

I have those exact tires you'll love them.

 

Yeah I'm just concerned that once i get to installing the lift the tires will look small

 

They don't. It looks good with the lift.

 

Just finished the lift for those doing the lift themselves if you have a kit that is anything over +2.75 in the front i strongly recomend getting new upper control arms because it was a pain getting them back up and seated

 

Here are some pictures of the lift complete and the badges blacked out

 

Has anyone had the general grabber at2 tires?

 

Ftw!! run those steels and pizza cutters, it would be a burnout machine clean looking rig op

 

Why would i want steelies? They pit easier and weigh more than alloy? My plan was to get rid of them and run some alloys unless someone can tell me a good reason not to? Thanks she is shaping up to be my favorite vehicle I've owned so far

 

Some people just really like pizza

 

Lol i guess?

 

How does the stereo sound? any difference, I have a 13 and wanted to do the same, what was the cost of the speakers and the amp.

 

AMAZING better than any bose system ive ever had i cant tell if i enjoy listening to music more on my hifi system in my house or in my car more.
Speakers were 108 amp was 130

 

Looking good.

 

Did you install 2 sets of those speakers?

 

Nope i kept the rear tweeters that are mounted in the headliner connected to the headunit and the front speakers are connected to the amp

 

Im running at2's and couldnt be happier.

 

Only a bit over 19k on mine. Yours is almost worn out.

No lift you can run 235x75, no rubs. I know you are already committed, just for reference. I mounted mine on a collection of spare tire wheels that I painted up. Fit perfect of course, but they have a bit more lip than the wheels you currently have on the ground.

Visually the side bars will make the truck look lower, negating part of the look from your lift. Just to consider.

Also to consider, if you black out the pinch weld below the body line (about 1" wide) it will visually make the truck look higher.

I suspect you 'may' need new UCAs anyway, because your alignment guys may not be able to reign everything in with that much lift. I mean just in case they tell you they can't get it in spec.

 

Thanks coma91 much appreciated

 

Awsome...Were there any modifications that you needed to do to get the speakers to fit.
