    What source do you use for your music? I use my phone and Amazon Prime Music. $10 bucks a month extra with my Prime account. You can download music to play offline too.

    Point is, I have an Android phone and I've downloaded a Amplifier/ EQ app called Power Amp. I think the pro version cost 3 bucks to not have any ads. So even if I wanted to use a computer to transfer music to my phone if I didn't have Prime music I could still use this setup.

    I don't have the JBL system in my Sport. But, I do have the Mark Levenson system in my Lexus. 16 speakers, 10 channel DSP amp, 835 watts total. Its tuned for the vehicle. So yes, I know what quality audio is.

    With my OEM stereo in the Taco and my 3 dollar power amp app I can tweak that system to be more than loud enough and make hairs on my legs feel the bass. Is it comparable to the ML in my Lex? No. Is it better than OEM and more than enough for a truck I use like a truck? Hell yeah!

    Rethink your source, and look at using your phone, and look at a Amp/EQ app for it. I think you'll be impressed. And later, if you want, you can add an underseat sub. Those aren't cheap but they are nice.

    Just my .02 on that subject. I'm sure there are experts that can provide better answers. I'm not an expert.

    It depends. On mine, I don’t have the curtain air bags so I didn’t have to worry about drilling through anything other than the headliner. I just put some tape around the drill bit to set the depth and went to town.

    With that said I still dropped the headliner a little bit to ensure the rivnuts were properly pulled. Dropping the headliner, at least a little bit, isn’t that hard.

    I pulled the coil over, stuffed the tire up and did a bunch of trimming on top of what I already had to do. Had to hammer back the firewall as well. LOVE the tires though. Their offroad performance is pretty damn good.

    I love how motivated you get out there and put a good couple hours in on the truck constantly on your back and shit. Pulling coils etc. I would never go to those lengths. I’ve just driven it and if it rubbed or whatever I cut it up when I got home
