    Hey I have a question when you guys replace your drum brakes in the back do you recommend replacing all the hardware inside and the drums themselves? Sorry, for using this forum I couldn't find one on changing brakes.

    Lol. Just day drinking and then FedEx dropped those off while I was in the garage working on another project and took a break to put them in. And the interior is all hydro dipped. Your wrap looks good though! I wrapped my tailgate in the same pattern in a matte finish.

    Are you running stock suspension with them? I've been thinking about getting a set of these but I'm worried about them rubbing.

    Hopefully you hear something soon. I got my tailgate wrap from usnightvision.com. As far as the dip goes I had to send all my parts out to a guy in California. I found him on instagram, hpperformance is his IG name.

    Did my oil change today (first time putting Penzoil Platinum in her :D). Anywhoo anybody else have a hell of a time getting the oil filter off after a factory service? I had to remove my battery to get leverage and ended up ruining my Klein strap wrench. Also a little peeved to see they didnt use a drain plug gasket.

    So far, I have peeled off a lot of warning stickers.
    After 3 years owning my 2015 basic Tacoma access cab, I upgraded my Entunes radio and front door speakers. After reading as much as I could find here so I would know what to expect, I Installed a Kenwood DNX994S (which gave me GPS and a front parking camera), and Kenwood 6X9 Low power door speakers. The radio install was fairly straight forward, with just a few plot twists. I used a iDatalink Maestro adapter harness for radios without separate amps, and it preserved all the steering wheel controls. However, because it is a standard 5 spd, I had to run the rear camera reverse sensing wire to the backup light wire. With an automatic, the adapter gets that data from the OBD2 connection. With all the new wires on the radio and the adapter harness, the front camera, microphone and GPS antenna wires, putting the unit back in was like stuffing 10 pounds of potatoes into a 5 pound sack. Installing the speakers, I also had worries that the screws into the adapter frame were not all that secure, so used 6-32 X 1' screws with nylock nuts. When I finished one side, I turned it on and the sound from the new speaker was as different as night from day. As I ran the fader left and right, I could hear instruments from the new speaker that I couldn't hear on the OEM side. This is not a power system. The head unit puts out 22 watts RMS (X4). The speakers are 3-way, 2-45 watt RMS, with 92 dB sensitivity, and 30-22,000 Hz frequency response. They deliver full sound at low volume. They were $59.99 per pair at Crutchfield, with Tacoma adapter rings and pigtails included. I pulled a rear door skin and discovered a nice speaker mounting hole, but no wiring. May or may not pursue that at a later date.
