New 2007 TRD Owner - Questions

Just bought this yesterday, looking forward to spending some time on this forum. Came with a few minor body issues, luckily not in obvious places. It has 126k miles, so hopefully I'll have it for a while...

I'm going to be putting a lot of miles on it pretty soon. That OEM radio looks like a pain to remove, but I need to get something with at least bluetooth and ideally some USB ports. What's a good radio for this model, and is it possible to install without being too invasive with the dashboard? A job for a pro, or a weekend warrior project?

A few other things I'm looking for - a cheap, theft-resistant 5' tonneau, and anything special about this year that I should have the mechanic look at it (I still have a day to return it under CA law).

Thank you!

 

Congrats and welcome
Rig looks sharp

 

You got an '07 DCSB TRD with only 126k miles?! Damn congrats, looks like a gorgeous truck! I don't have much to add in terms of your questions, but I'll tell you I turn to TW and YouTube for absolutely everything. My 2009 OEM radio was BT equipped off the line so I haven't come across a need to remove and replace yet. Everything I've read to this point indicates that it's definitely a DIY job, if you're even the slightest bit mechanically and electrically inclined. Enjoy the truck - again, congrats!

 

It’s not really too bad.

Looks pretty straightforward. Wow, had no idea there was so much information on this site. Will be spending some time here

 

This place is the best for Camping, Shooting and Driving. lots of good people on here. Id go with a good Pioneer Unit. They are better then some units that cost double.

 

Welcome to TW. Rig looks good.

 

wow that is a clean rig.

Any more info about this one day return policy?

 

You won’t be just spending time on the forum....
