I can’t explain how much I love my Tacoma!

At its heart... it’s still a dodge

Boat out for the weekend!

“Bling”, lol. I guess. I have used it to pull a car (Subaru forester) from a ditch with my snatch strap and this shackle, and as silly as it sounds I have some property in the country, I use it for pulling brush up a steep hill. For me it’s totally functional. I’m not a bling type of guy, I...

The one I have came with a shackle hitch that I bought. Motormic UNIQUE Shackle Hitch Receiver 2” + 5/8" Trailer Lock Pin and 3/4" D Shackle (35,000 lbs Max Capacity) – Heavy Duty Off Road Recovery Black D Ring with 4 washers + Red Isolator for Jeep Towing...

True, if the amp is a piece of garbage then yes. Any thd value below .1 is inaudible. I can’t speak to the factory amp and what it is rated at, stability or thd but I would imagine being a factory sourced option it meets minimum requirements. I do think audio in general be it home or car, if...

Replacing the factory speakers with ones that have a higher sensitivity rating will result in louder sound. The sensitivity rating is how efficient the speaker is. There are trade offs, if your source had a high thd rating the all you will do is make distortion louder. I believe anything...

Ok, so I have done some research on this jbl thing, and I will admit that I had no idea the major differences between the regular Entune system and the jbl system. The way I see it you have a few options; 1. Leave everything alone. 2. Replace the entire system 3. Check the resistance of the...

My bad. I do not have the jbl unit but I searched one on eBay a long time ago and whatever I saw had rca preouts on it. I just looked up specific to 16-20 Tacoma and no rca preouts. No big deal, you can add a sub amp by getting an add a sub harness which interrupts the factory harness. Here...

I installed 2 comp rt8’s in a box I built, separate amp, and it shakes the mirrors. Also, since they are 8’s, the bass is very tight. I am very happy withe the Kickers, and very impressed with the sound. I would imagine simply replacing the factory jbl sub with the kicker, using the same...

So, I could be dead wrong here, and if I am surely someone will jump on and correct me. When I bought my 2019 Trd sport I was looking actually for a TRd off-road. Something that I read said that the sport and the off road are geared differently, and also the sport had an anti roll bar. So...

Hockey season is over. :(. I know those from Canada miss it as much as I do, STL Blues fan here, guess we are still Stanly Cup holders for another year.

Spring wash and wax. Love my truck!

Great topic, ahh, a vacation. When can we do that again? So I have 2. Puerto Rico, one week spent in Old San Juan, and then drove to Rincon to spend the last week. Most epic vaca so far was renting a Tahoe and and Airstream in Vegas, then two weeks going to national parks and rando...

Spend some time on tacotunes.com. Very informative. I recently upgraded my 19’ stereo non JBL, that being said there are separates for the front by Infinity (kappa line), JL audio that are 2 ohm. The biggest issue I see with that is that the factory wiring for the front separates. In a non...
