    The Tacoma's stock speakers are so cheap. I'd never seen magnet-less speakers until I pull those out. I spent just $99 on four 6" Kickers on a BOGO deal from Crutchfield. Plenty loud for me even w/the stock HU. What mattered most was that sound was no longer muddy and soft.

    leather interior install. do it on all my trucks, love it every time i get in it.
    second would be lift it! just the basic 5100/885 lift with an AAL.
    i know tube steps are not too popular on this forum, but i like them on black trucks.

    I have the OEM Toyota tube steps, plus some GoRhino black steps from the old Taco.... if I go sliders, both are F/S, otherwise, I like the GoRhino's.

    Yah, transferred the Viper Alarm to the new one. I guess my Taco isn't quite as "bone stock" as I assumed.... :rolleyes:

    Been having issues with mine. Fortunately the installer is taking good care of me. If I did it again, I'd probably go with a different brand.
