    Speakers in and of themselves aren’t gonna make much difference without a head unit and amp. If you’re running stock head unit sound and power to speakers that are built to handle more power you are always going to be disappointed.

    In my first gen, I replaced the head unit, and kept the factory speakers, and that made a huge difference in the mids and highs. (I also had a small amped sub, which obviously helped the lows)

    but I think you're right that if you can only do one or the other, its better to replace the head unit than the speakers.

    Didn't do much today. A quick power steering fluid flush and replaced the pcv valve. My truck is creeping up on 100k miles so i'm doing whatever maintenance i can think of.

    It cost me $60 at my local dealership. Maybe 5 min to swap it out. I was having the infamous crank and die issue. It only happened ever few months or so, so I put it off. Now I’ll wait and see how long takes to know if it solved the issue.

    Washed both mines and my Dads truck (1st Gen 95' Taco) today then took a stroll to the Punchbowl cemetery to visit my mom's brother.

    I have the same Tonneau Cover, its held up very well over the last year and a half!

    Nice rig, looks really good!!

    My wife has this issue when starting the truck. I love that the Taco ignition is old fashion, and only cranks until you let go of the key. Sometimes she lets go to early. And it really pisses Betty off.

    I am still using a bucket and a wash mit.
