What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ah, I see another manual enthusiast What'd you do about the chrome around the cup holder? I was blinded by that bit one day headed to work. No one makes a chrome delete piece for a manual cup holder that I can find... Your chrome delete looks good!

I will absolutely look into that one thanks. We live in the country and gotta have something lol.

 

My two cents, for what it’s worth, I did the OEM audio plus, consisting of amp, harness and woofer. I already did the speaker swap out with kickers. Very easy install, all plug and play ain’t sounds great. The harness comes already set for two sub woofers, but I just did the one. It was $1200. Again, my 2c.

 

I'm very happy with my upgrades.
Kicker tweeters and 6x9 w/ passive crossover
Rockford Fosgate 6.5
Kicker 10in sub
and the cherry on top .. the AudioControl D-5.1300 DSP/Amp
I can't even begin to tell you how much better it sounds with the right sounds going to the speakers.
I got the DSP off Ebay, and am pretty dang happy with the purchase.
I got taken for about a grand back in the early 2000's off Ebay, so I was VERY wary of this purchase.

If I were to do it all over again, only thing i'd change is ordering 14 or 16 gauge wire. Do you have any idea how hard it is to run 12 gauge wire through the door grommets? it's not fun.

 

How did you do it? When I went i had to turn to a certain radio station but as you know the Tacoma auto shuts off after an hour. Did yours do that?

 

Thanks for that! Headed to Minnesota soon, where the mosquito is the state bird. The aerosol version is over the TSA's allowance of 3.4oz., but it turns out they also sell it in a smaller pump spray version perfect for travel:

Thanks again!

 

What? Wait, they still make radios?!!

 

Are you near the Idaho border? (East Washington) I have the High Flying from Amzn. since I upgrade to Meso V5...
Or you can have my OEM...

 

Unfortunately I’m on the west (wrong) side of the state. I wish I was in Idaho actually.

 

Thanks...yes love my MTs!!

for the cup holder and shift knob trim I used vinyl covers from tvdvinyldecals.com. if I had to do do it again, I would just sand it and paint it like I've done with my 4x4 knob but for know the black vinyl does the job. It was just a bit hard to install even with the trim piece out of the vehicle. Can't imagine how hard it is to install without taking the trim out.

 

Thanks, I'm afraid I would snap the piece trying to get it out. Oh well, guess I'll toy with the idea for a while on what to do... Thanks!

 

oh it's easy to take off if you pull your center console out..

Here is how it looks

 

Damn. That does look nice... How it should have come from the factory...

 

wholeheartedly agree..I don't know anyone who likes chrome.

 

Agreed. I don't mind the door handles but the chrome bumper caps and tail lights had to go on mine... Thanks for the input!

 

I have a work buddy with a mostly stock Tacoma and he asks me what "jewelry" I added lately.

 

Nice snorkel. This design (to me) aesthetically looks the best.

 

Finally put up the rest of the window covers in the shell (Reflectix) and had the windows tinted on the cab. 20% front, 70% rear doors. Did not tint the glass as the shop said it would cause a reflection with the shell on.




And this is how it looks w/ all the doors and windshield covers (Weathertech) are on.

 

love your rims
