What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Patents really don't hold much value for such a small value item. Try sueing someone in China and see how much it costs you. All that happens is if there is any real threat to them is they closeup and open under another name and you have spent way more on legal fees than you will ever collect (if you even can from a someone in China)

 

@stftaco Knurled Etsy knobs arrived yesterday & their great, I hope they last.
Thanks again for the recommendation

 

That makes a lot of sense

 

Looks great!

 

thanks!
they perform a bit better too, I would pass along the recommendation if you haven't already

 

I went with the OEM rav4 knobs this time but have had these before and liked them.

 

those are nice too, why did you change from the Etsy knob, they didn't break did they?

 

No i had the Etsy ones on my 2019 Tacoma and then I sold that truck. With my 2023 I liked how the rav 4 knobs light up

 

Wow what a great and easy upgrade. Much recommended to all.

Is there a plug n play upgrade for the door speakers also?

 

It looks like those stiffeners go all the way up the bed side man, I would look again.

 

It was in reference to the bottom portion of the bracket being flat. They aren’t as strong as the one with a vertical edge on then. The only actual bracing for flex between the sides and the bottom, is the little triangle in the corner.

 

ah got it makes sense now, thanks for clarifying

 

Makes sense

 

I'm doing JBL Stage 3 6x9s as soon as they come in. I'll let you know. I'm doing the DS18 tweeters this evening. They just got delivered! YAY!

 

I just found the Kicker speaker upgrade thread. I got all four on Amazon for $200. Probably install tomorrow

 

Hadn't considered the RAV4 knobs. Happen to have a part #? TIA!

EDIT: Should have done some more searching.

Today I too installed the DS18 tweeters, only tested for a moment but immediately hear a nice difference. Also installed the OEM bed lights, so all in all about 15 minutes for my first 2 mods on the truck. Was supposed to receive my bed mat today but fed ex claims no one was home, which hasn't happened in a long time and I certainly was here all day.

 

I purchased these recently and have to say I'm not sure I'm keeping them. They are good quality, not sure about them being aluminum. I'm leaning to a slimmer design like the RAV4 knobs. Still on the fence.

 

$70 for the DS18 tweeters and $109 for the JBLs I may do JBL Stage 2 6" in the back at some point. Will see how the fronts sound. I'll prob end up doing the 8" control head as well. They are a bit pricey though.

 

So the Sport and Off Road have slightly different engines?

I thought Crawl was all software.

I learn something new every day on this forum. Cool! But sorry you have to another swap.
