What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You really think they need a amp? I had mine swapped out for Polk an they sound good with a Kenwood DMX7709s DDL-Din HU powering them.

 

Well Sir I have a reason. I was going 55mph on 290 in TX and there was a T intersection with a red light. A dump truck ran the red light and hit a car into a ditch in which burst into flames.
The accident was in the paper the next day and had a picture of the driver. It was beautiful 19yr old girl.

 

What brand of speakers did you use and where did you buy them from? did you have to make your own wiring harness or does a set come with the speakers?

 

I've driven Toyota 4x4's for over 42 years, +/- 960,000 miles between personal ownership and company work trucks....none have ever caught on fire. The fire extinguisher is not so much for me, but I carry it should I come upon an accident or situation where another vehicle may be on fire. They are damn cheap insurance.

 

What is an "Israeli bandage"?

 

Armies have been using field-trauma dressing/bandage for centuries, adjusting the design slightly as they see fit. One of the more efficient and accepted designed I guess is from the Israeli army. Many people use it so I guess it acquired the name "Israeli bandage".

 

Thanks for the clarification....

Advice for emergency devices: "1 is none, 2 is one"

I bought 2 through "LA Police Gear" on advice from others here. More expensive than the Amazon one. Maybe better quality, maybe not ... but this is to keep people alive.

Other medical device advice ... Israeli is for field dressing, but tourniquet is for fast flowing wounds at the extremities and "tourniquet saves lives, it is not to save limbs".

 

you know, someone with a demented sense of humor could think that write up came from a cheap porno novel.

 

Thank you all for some very legit and real answers (way too many to respond to), sounds like most (if not all) on here are ready and willing to help out their fellow man woman and child incase of an emergency...

Nice to know our Tacoma's are being used for there intended purposes and not just for posing, in my neck of the woods we used to have lots of places to go off roading, and back in the day I had a Power Wagon with a built engine and used to go off roading all the time, even jumped ditches and stuff, never went rock crawling or anything, just made up our own trails or whatever, loved to jump the truck though...

Now too many people moved here and ruined all that, so just a bunch of pavement pounders and posers, you should see all the 6" lifted Jeeps with 24" wheels and 37" tires that at any given time you could eat off of the frame and suspension, they would be lucky to see grass, much less dirt... I've got the SR5 RWD with OEM size highway tires, so no posing, and even though it is my DD, it also gets the bed used whenever needed...

Funny thing is, we used to load up the kids in the back of our little RWD 92 Toyota standard cab with the raised roof toper (only own when going camping) and go camping often, now a days the closest thing to camping we will ever do again is a nice cabin in Gatlinburg... And if I go off roading other than my yard anymore, trust me, it is not on purpose... But my son is taking his kids camping now, so the next generation is still doing it now...

 

You added a nice head unit. I haven’t found one I like yet. BUT, just an upgrade from the stock speakers is a huge improvement. I did add an amp because I added Focals and a sub.

 

Where did you mount your sub?

 

I swapped out my entire system. I put a 8" sub in a box right where that JBL "sub" was.

 

Behind the back seat, drivers side

 

Haha, yeah, there are a couple trigger words/phrases mentioned a few times.

 

These are Kicker speakers from Subaru (the only Kicker product I would recommend). I had them for a while as a temporary upgrade until I did my audio build. They are fully plug and play on these trucks and make a pretty significant sound difference after they break in.

Little upgrades.

Added N2 Auto Start (full take over) and wireless android/apple/screen mirror auto to my '18 Taco.

 

Not exactly "to my Tacoma" but watched a couple of videos on the proper use of an Israeli trauma bandage and a windlass tourniquet. Not sure how composed I would be "in the moment" if someone I care about needed effective application of the trauma bandage and tourniquet but odds are better now.
