What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Been working 70 hours a week , so just driving it lol

 

Will this cause any heat issues with the spare? I figure it won't be an issue, but wanted to see what y'all thought.

 

Me too. Just changed o!l Today as well. Did in a vacant bank parking lot to boot! Lol

 

That's a good point. I keep my spare in my bed

 

Thanks Man, I just bought it about 1.5 mos. ago and this is my 1st mod. I've got about $2500 worth of stereo crap to cram in there next week and then it's on to lift + tires/wheels.

 

I felt under there with the truck running and I couldn't feel any of the exhaust shooting directly on the tire. Figured that was good enough.

 

Right on... Love to keep seeing yourself

I too am into car audio

 

Stereo counts as mods. What all you got done? I wanna get a aftearket Android stereo so I can make my stereo my phone.

 

Well, I work for a major electronics retailer so I got 50-65% off on everything or I never would have gone this far over the top but here goes

Kenwood DDX9702S double din head unit
Infinity Kappa 60.11cs (front doors)
Infinity Kappa 62.11i (rear doors)
Kicker KX 800.1 (sub amp)
Kicker KX 400.4 (door speakers)
Kicker Comp RT 10" subs (X2)
Kicker 4 ga. dual amp wiring kit
Kicker RCA cables and 14 ga. speaker wire
Backup camera & Sirius radio. Sound deadening material on back wall & doors.

I ordered a sub box from a retailer (don't want to name them yet) but it was damaged in shipping and built too long for the space behind the rear seats. After receiving it I discovered that my amps would not fit on it anyway so I'm going to have a friend with a table saw help me build a new one that will work.

 

I'm also changing my dash from silver to black so I ordered a black double din dash kit, got the piece with the vents in black from toyotapartsonline.com, and picked up the AC controls in black from a local junk yard (they wouldn't sell me the vent piece unless I bought the whole dash).

 

What's best to make my stereo my phone when driving!

 

Do you mean "hands free calling"?

 

I mean to make my phone appear on my screen of my stereo. I know about the wiring harness already but what stereo would you recommend?

Pioneer DEH-X8700BS CD Receiver with Bluetooth, SiriusXM, Siri Eyes Free, and USB Playback

https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-DEH-X8700BS-Receiver-Bluetooth-SiriusXM/dp/B00O8B7BAE
I put this one in my S10 and it has the best bluetooth integration I have ever seen. It can connect to 2 devices at once so I use my phone for calling and ipod for music all the time with no issues. I have a JVC in my work vehicle and have BT issues all the time. Every time I shut the vehicle off I have to reconnect the BT and wait. With this Pioneer it connects and picks up Sirius or Pandora right where you left off within seconds.

I'll have to let you know how the Kenwood works once I get it in. I'm a huge Pioneer fan and only bought this one because it was a deal I couldn't refuse.

 

I've been looking at these for a while... Best head units out there. Because they run android it's retarded how customizable they have become. You can do screen cast and actually have your phone screen and functionality on the display. You will need a axxess harness for steering wheel control.

7" Android Tablet Touch Screen Car Stereo Quad Core 1024600 Double Din in Dash Car GPS Navigation Radio Receiver Audio Head Unit Support Subwoofer/Steering Wheel Control/Rear camera/1080P/Bluetooth

There are a few different kinds, all very similar. Look for a quad core 1024x600 resolution. You can run android apps on it... Think google maps, waze navigation, Spotify.... It also has a connection for a cam.

 

I got my quick fists in the mail and installed.....



. ... on my fucking indoor roof rack!
Now I can hold my Thule bars/levels and cords out the fuckin way... BooyaaH!

 

I want touch screen though. Navigation & Bluetooth. I dont need Sirius or XM cuz I listen to radio or cds

 

Now that some redneck ingenuity!
