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

Thanks, it is finally getting there! Tomorrow will be the new challenge of notching the tubing with an angle grinder, which I have done once before. This front bumper build is really challenging me and also forcing me to step outside my comfort zone. I love it.

 

Simply outstanding

 

Looks good! That's the same one I wanted to install. Looks really clean. I bet that wireless Apple Car Play is awesome.
I have so much I still want to do. Have you upgraded your speakers? Do you notice a difference in sound quality since changing to this Alpine?

 

She wants to help with the suspension now

 

Replaced th wheels on my 2013 5 lug with Highlander wheels

 

Her ans I may have to duke it out for that, She'd win

 

Those look really nice. Pretty truck

 

I appear to be missing something now.

 

The wireless car play is awesome. Although I haven’t upgraded my speakers, I do notice a big difference in sound quality compared to the stock stereo. Big thing I noticed, the volume can go waaay louder than stock. I’ve always noticed that the stock stereo at full volume is still pretty low compared to other vehicles I’ve been in. Not a problem anymore.

 

Ah the ol lca delete mod. I like it.

 

I seriously have to hire you to do my front custom project......damn it, why do you have to be so far away!

 

Trust me you don’t want me to come within 10’ of your truck if it requires precision!

 

What dash kit is that? Looks so much better than my POS Metra

 

I very much recognize that.......and still want you anyway. I have already cut many parts of my truck already. My motto.......dents, dings, and scratches give a truck character.

 

It’s also a metra. Part number 95-8235. Black. Not sure if mine just looks good in the photo or it’s the same thing you have haha, I think it looks pretty good I’m happy with it

 

My thoughts exactly...PO had the head unit installed with the Metra kit and I hate how they attempted to match the factory radio texture with it.

 

Looks like its for the 12-15 trucks. PN

$24 95-8214TB Double DIN Dash Kit for Toyota Tacoma 2005-2011 Vehicle (Black) 11.00in. x 8.60in. x 3.40in.

95-8214TB fits the 05-11 trucks and looks very similar.

 

Damn, both grills are awesome. I can’t stand the one on mine. What company did you go with for the new one? I’ve seen EAG makes one that’s fairly inexpensive.

 

That’s the one I have. I hate the texture and the super cheap feel

 

Truck looks great and you are saving a bunch of $$ DIY. Bending is tricky looks like you are on the road to a real good start.

Notching does not have to be perfect the welder is great for hiding small mistakes
