Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Dropped some Focal replacement speakers in mine soon after I got it. No extra wiring. No cutting. Plug n play. World of difference.

Wanting another subwoofer but not sure I wanna lose the space.

 

No amp on the door speakers. They are Boston Acoustics SC55 5.25" Coax. I disconnected the goofy "speaker" Toyota put in the headliner, as it didn't do squat, and frankly buzzed when it was brand new. I've pulled headliners before, but it wasn't worth polishing the turd on this one. The unit is a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT DVD Receiver, and that's about it. I didn't make my own speaker adapters, but I can't remember who made the ones I used; I think they were Scosche.

Car audio can get nuts, but you gotta remember, Tacoma cabs aren't very big, so a little goes a long way. Just like my wife always tells me!

 

Yep. I installed this as well:

That Kicker unit fits right under the passenger seat.

ETA: I thought I did a thread on this, way back, and here it is:

Great, something else for me to research and possibly spend money on.

 

Shrimps!​

 

While looking for my Kicker thread, I came across this:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/austin-tx-lets-meet.127040/

Wonder if anyone in that thread is here in this one?

 

Good choice.. I too like the shrimps

 

Oh... Before I forget, I was asked by a co-worker to ask around and see if anyone was interested in a besttop soft topper for a 3rd gen DCSB in black. He is getting rid of his truck and wants to sell the topper since I passed on it lol. He is asking 500, it's a year old. If interested send me a PM and I can get you pictures and give you his contact information since he's not here. Again, not my item, just passing along the info, which is why it's not posted in the classified thread lol.

Figured I had to give my A town peeps a shot first before it ended up in my garage so I can take pictures and post it elsewhere for him.

 

All you have to do is ground the wire that supposedly goes to the parking brake. This puts it in demo mode, no mo warnings.

 

Drop an LS3 in dat bish.

 

I do but also don't have anymore $$ right now lol

 

Some radio's like Kenwood have a fail safe for that type of wiring setup so you have to put a switch on it to trick it. At least in my experience...but I think Pioneers are straight forward...Grounded parking brake wire to the radio does the trick.

 

I had a DVD HU in m 4runner and wired a bypass to it :rockfist:

 

Might as well put a SuperCharger on it since we are gonna take the whole damn motor apart...

 

Of course, cut a big ass hole in the hood for it to fit.

 

Posting this for a friend that works at Nyle Maxwell GMC.


Ask for Bryan or I can give you his contact info for it. He said they have dropped the price twice already on it (currently around $32K) and will probably drop even more...I bet someone can get it for around $31K or lower. It's an SR5 4x4 with 15k miles.

Should come with the Maxwell Forever Warranty. It covers the drive train for the life of the buyer.
I can vouch for the warranty, I had the transmission replaced in our Ford under this warranty and it went pretty smooth.
The main reason I bought my Taco from them.
