    Love the new radio! Can stream music from your iPhone or other Bluetooth-enabled (must support media streaming) or plug in your MP3 player via USB/3.5mm headphone aux cable.

    Touch screen is very responsive even on cold mornings. Now keep in mind I am in Florida, so the coldest morning we've seen so far was in the lower 40s.

    I am using my iPod Nano (not the newest generation, but the one before it) via an Apple USB cable and it works seamlessly. The only thing that doesn't appear to be coming over so far is the album artwork, which doesn't bother me at all.

    Since it's a regular cab, the sound quality is fantastic. Tweeter is right next to you and the bass is actually quite decent.

    The more I drive this thing, the more I love it. It seriously has every single option I need and nothing I don't. So far, it's my favorite vehicle I've owned to date.

    Love the black center console. Thought I loved the silver before, but the black looks even better. Especially with the black carpet.

    That's one thing I haven't tried to mess with, cruise control. Not even sure this thing has it! :D

    Love those wheels! I bet you paid a fortune for them!

    I'm planning on going to ABC and seeing if I can find a set of the SR5 alloys. Then I just need tires.

    so fink how u like the auto sofar now that u drove a few days with it? does it seem to keep it in the powerban the whole time?? is it smooth or rough upshifting and downshifting?


    Im just really hoping my 265's and 17" 4 runner rims dont make the truck barley move, i dont drive fast but im a little concerned, no hills around here tho. How you guys think my rims will look with the 13 mag grey ?

    I went through all the pages of this thread before posting this. I saw some people talking about their stereos. Other people were talking about getting bucket seats and swapping out their bench seats. This is my brothers reg cab taco. He swapped out his bench seat for two bucket seats from a wrecked Tacoma. He made made a custom ported box that ties into a center console. Some people on here think they are limited on aftermarket stereo options because of the small space behind the seat. I'd say his truck truck proves that size does not matter in this situation.

    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    WOW. Great work.

    Love the auto. I couldn't handle a manual here in the city, not to mention the issues they are known for.

    Keep in mind, I am a very slow driver and never "feel the need for speed." I have no problem with people tailgating me as I take off from a green light. I even have a license plate frame that says, "I drive slow to piss you off." Just want to be sure you take that into account when deciding whether to place value in my opinion. :D

    As for your 4Runner rims - they would look good even on a Heep! :eek:

    Wow - that is sick.

    I bet his chick friends line up to ride in his truck now. With the subwoofer right behind the seat and all...:p

    For those of us without the kind of time to do that (wish I did though haha) anyone else been able to fit subs behind a single cab?

    I have a pair of 12"s in separate boxes now, and they're hitting the seat lever. In contact with Mr Marv here as well but wondering if someone's got another fix. I really don't wanna go custom if I can help it.

    I measured my boxes and they are 19.25 inches wide. Looks if I got them 3 inches narrower I'd be golden without sacrificing mount depth..that would be more ideal since my subs are not that old.

    So I'm a moron. I searched WeatherTech's site using my vehicle info (2013) and saw that the FloorLiners were not available so I ordered some Husky Liners from 4WP.

    I didn't even realize that they were out for the 2012s since I haven't researched stuff for these trucks in a while.

    Ended up ordering the WeatherTechs from Amazon and will just return the Husky Liners from 4WP. Lesson learned.

    Have you seen the new floor mat retention hooks/clamps they have in the 2012/2013s? No bullshit.

    If you reused them they'd have to sit up on top of them. I don't believe they can be removed.
