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

Could I keep my stock OEM head unit & just upgrade to aftermarket speakers?

Sorry, I don’t tinker too much with auto audio stuff

 

yes, you could! the stock speakers are TRASH! I need to do mine too, but I'm also not as into the stereo as I once was. I've been out of the game for years.

 

I just came across this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/general-car-audio-faqs.6856/

And am educating myself by reading it. Lots to learn.

 

You could do all of that and not have to worry about ordering extra parts to make them fit. I bought the Alpine S Series tweeters, cut the old tweeters out of their bracket using an oscillating tool and epoxied the tweeter screw mount into the old tweeters' bracket. I can show you a picture if you want, it was really easy and they fit wonderfully.

 

Not today, but last weekend I installed OME BP-51 coil overs, SPC UCA's, Archive Garage Rear bump stops, and Deaver J66 leaf springs.

 

Looks awesome aldoraine, nice job!

 

Thanks!

 

Mounted the Scion microphone onto the steering wheel cover.

 

I like that...do you have a part number?

 

PT546-NU160

 

@JimIowa
I read those and went for it anyway. Really easy, I used JB weld to hold the tweeter and just held it in place with tape to cure. I have a cheapo Amazon solder pen-gun that works just fine. You could splice with crimps or just tape. Really easy to do and the tweeters are nice to have. I was running two-ways in the lower front doors with OEM disconnected for about a year. Then bought this set. Big difference.

 

Haven’t done much lately but I got back from the gym this morning and as I was walking inside looked at the truck and had to snap a pic



I may or may not have given the truck a little salute…

What bumper is that?

 

I bought it used but if I remember correctly it’s from brute force fabrication

 

No pics yet! but again reached out to @paranoid56 well Paranoid Fab for some fog lights and some mounts for the Tacoma. because a set of hella bulbs I have to replace every 5-6 months and that is absolutely stupid.

But here is a pic of the shop foreman, who needed to show me how i work!

 

Just had the stent removed 10 minutes ago, I don't know which was worse, passing stones naturally or having to endure the awkwardness and pain of having a rubber stent pulled through your pee hole.

 

Super clean install. Nicely done

 

Hit a mileage milestone today! Can’t wait to hit the next milestone in 200,000 miles

 

Finished installing the new headlights and tail lights, and installed a raptor style grille. Thanks to 3 oxy i was able to do all of this (I had a kidney stone surgery I'm not an addict haha)

Also, the Leer 3rd light doesn't work hence why I have it hanging, I'm removing it and fixing it

 

looks great! quick question... why did you make the switch?
