    How goes it? Long time reader...first time poster.

    Anyone here use the Metra single DIN dash kit in their Tacoma? Mine rattles pretty bad when I'm on rough roads. I've tried everything...Dynamat, tightening down those four bolts. I'm about to ready to bolt that son of a bitch to the frame (just kidding). Any ideas? I've read that most people did the double DIN install on here.

    Thanks for any help

    Maybe it is just the wiring connectors behind the dash for the stereo that is rattling. Wrap them in foam padding and secure the wires.

    Thanks for the reply, I wrapped everything in padding and the rattle went away.
