Lurker for about a year, finally made an account

Traded up from a boring ass Jeep Patriot for my Taco about a year ago and on my birthday, have loved it ever since. Not a ton of work done yet, custom grille, Black Rhino Arsenal wheels, white/yellow switchback LED headlights and fogs, and some interior LED upgrades.

Like that title says, long time lurker, learned a ton already and looking forward to some more down the line! Sup everyone

 

Lurk no more Alex
Welcome to the forum

Welcome aboard Alex

 

Nice truck... Congrats!!!

 

What ya got planned next for your taco?

 

Thanks to everyone! To answer your question, I'm not too sure lol. Thinking about some of the more aggressive fender flares with that riveted style, I've also been aching to get my stock speakers replaced too though so not sure which way I'll go yet.

 

I changed the speakers and added a kicker key amp and a kicker hideaway sub. It was about $800 in parts but installed it with information from this website. I get an awesome concert everyday. very worth it.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome!

 

I think I'm gonna give the tweeters and door speakers and upgrade first and see how that works out. Is that sub you're mentioning one of those ones mounted behind the backseat? That'd be a cool addition down the road. I know on my Patriot the door speakers alone made an insane difference. Not an audiophile necessarily either, just want a good clean sound.

 

I was in the same boat as you, bud lol had my truck for about a year and a half and just joined TW yesterday after lurking the entire time

 

I added the compact sub (yes behind backseat) and changed all the speakers. I was so disappointed at the volume level. Once I added the sub, the whole thing came alive. I kept the stock head unit. The speakers are indeed crap, but they are underpowered significantly. I would go front speakers and amp over four new speakers.

 

Here's what stock speakers look like

 

Here's the compact kicker key amp that is really awesome.

 

Welcome to TW! I didn't like how entunes premium was glitchy, replaced it with a pioneer avic-w8400nex, also upgraded all 6 speakers and added a 12" sub.

 

Hi, what interior LEDs did you end up going with? I am looking to do the same.

 

Ended up going with these:

Alopee 4PCS 194 LED Bulb Red,T10 LED Bulb,168 LED Bulb, 2825 LED Bulb W5W 158 501 Error Free LED Light for Car Dome Light Tail Light DC 12V

I dislike bright lighting myself and had reds in my Patriot too. Enough to light it up a little but still have them on while driving at night if I ever need to for some reason.
