    New mirrors are going on tonight. 5th gen 4Runner mirrors. Power adjustable, heated, turn signals, puddle lights. Base model truck doesn’t even have anything now, just manual adjustments, so I’ve have to create my own wiring harness. Junk yard switch from a 99 Camry fits perfect in the dash. Lots of studying and notes involved to get this project done.

    I launched an errant golf ball in the yard one time with a zero-turn. Talk about velocity, I'da been damn proud of that stroke had I only been on the golf course! :eek:

    Nice setup. I have something similar but no rack. Where did you get yours?

    Buddy made it for me. It’s similar to a front runner but much cheaper.

    Great info, thanks a bunch. Seeing that you have experience in the audio field, I have a question. You mentioned that these speakers are rated at 2ohms, does that mean the bass will be more pronounced, thump harder? I'm an electrician so the meaning of ohms means totally different when it comes to audio.

    Lower ohms will mean less resistance which translates to more power going to the speaker. It still depends on the amp you are running to determine how much power will be put out.

    For example, the amp I am running is a JL JX400/4, which is 70 watts x 4 channels @ 4 ohms, or 100 watts x 4 @ 2 ohms.

    I hate to admit it but the first 2 thoughts that popped into my mind when I first saw this photo were:
    1. What state does this guy live in that you can tow 2 car trailers with one truck.
    2. How in the hell can you possibly tow 2 trailers with a Tacoma.
    I then noticed the F150 in the background and realized how much of an idiot I am. Man it was a long Monday.
