installed DS18 tweeters, defiantly worth it



6x9 door sprekers will be next

 

May want to order new drain/fill plugs for the front diff, i picked up the ones i think from a lexus? they use a 14mm bolt head vs a 10mm hex. That 10mm hex for the fill is super soft i used a quality hex socket and it still wanted to round over. My truck is low mileage and doesnt sit in the salt belt i can see how guys have issues getting them out over time. They were cheap like 10 bucks each you can find the part numbers in this thread was worth it to prevent future issues.

That’s good to hear. I tried, but they wouldn’t budge. Wasn’t a hill I was gonna die on. I’ll probably sell em. They have less than 700 miles on them.

 

i already ordered a gasket kit off Amazon with oil, differential, and transfer case gaskets. already removed the fill plug once and had no issues.

 

Noting exciting. Just washed it an my ‘06 PreRunner.

 

The

$80 DS18 PRO-ST 1.9" Replacement Upgrade Bullet Compression Tweeters with Crossovers- Car OEM Tweeter Upgrade Kit for Many Subaru/Toyota Models - Replacement for H631SFJ101 and H631SFJ100 (Pair)

DS18 Pro-ST Tweeters are great. Installed the similar Kicker/Subaru tweeters and didn't notice much difference. After reading more reviews here I sent the Kickers back, installed the DS18's and am very happy, especially with my non-JBL OE head unit. Cleaner sound, higher highs and a little more volume (had to drop the high-end settings a bit). PNP and well worth the 20 or 30 minutes it takes to swap them out.

Installed Infinity Reference REF-9632ix 6x9s in the front doors. Added some

$25 Noico 80 mil 10 sqft car Sound deadening mat, Butyl Automotive Sound Deadener, Audio Noise Insulation and dampening

Noico sound deadner to the outer door skins while I was in there. They sound pretty good. Haven't done anything with the rears since their volume is so low anyway. Thinking about adding a powered sub-woofer for a little more punch. Even if I swap out the head unit one day all of the rest will still be good.

Keep us posted on your progress!

 

Went out & did some mall crawling. The sand made for a tough run to the curb but we managed! Very capable truck
I need a Mall Rated badge now

Hey Guys and Gals I hope all are having a nice relaxing Sunday as am I. Gave the truck another wash nothing exciting this weekend. Just waiting for my New TRD skid plate replacement to arrive.
What do you recommend for a budget high lift floor Jack ? I figure it will make the skid plate install much easier and also would like to have one for tire rotations periodically. My old one finally died and not worth the oil it leaks lol.
Thanks in advance

 

If you have one, Harbor Freight. It's hit and miss with some of their stuff, but from experience their jacks, including floor, engine and stands are decent.

 

Tested out my "tire table" and built the rough version of my sleeping platform for a camping trip coming up this weekend. Once I get back, I'll be adding a slide out drawer and probably staining the remaining bare wood.

 

Are you saying there is a significant difference in the DS18 vice the subaru tweeters?

 

Cool thanks and yes there is a harbor freight in my area .

 

Finished my sleeping platform

the carve out is my foyer lol

 

If you have a harbor freight near by. A 2 ton Aluminum jack is cheap and easy on the back and works great.

 

blue and silver color.. easy to spot. can't remember how much. just bought one couple months ago.. but not high dollar..

 

said goodbye to my 2019 and hello to 23 TRD OR premium. Learned a ton from this forum.

 

Added in the AuxBeam and Amber strobes and color matched a few things

 

Much congrats she’s a beauty ! What color is that I love it
I absolutely love my 23 TRD OR premium and always look forward to getting behind the wheel wether it’s off road or on road
