2005 Tacoma with a Donahoe Racing 3" suspension lift, Boze Alloys wheels, and GoodYear Wrangler Silent Armor 275/70/17's. I did all the work myself.



























 
Eclipse AVN-6600





Backup Camera









Sound system before I put the seats back in. Kicker SX amps, and Dayton Audio 12" sub









Kicker SXRC amp controller

 
BTW, I'm running Active crossovers courtesy of the very versitile digital Kicker SX amps. They have some amazing features and adjustment.



Dayton Audio RS225 8" midbass





B&G ribbon tweeters in the kickpanels









My little detailer in training

 
Jesus man, one of the cleanest installs I've ever seen (loudspeaker designer here). You on caraudio.com? If not, sign up and post this.
 
The word perfect comes to mind... but then your tires... get some more aggressive tires, then it will be perfect, but right now its just bad ***! Damn that thing is clean man! Probably the best Tacoma I've ever seen! I'll give you $10K... LOL
 
ScanGauge in the overhead console, replacing the useless stock compass/temp gauge







Swapped out the stock clutch fan for an electric fan to help MPG, add a few HP, and make the A/C consistently cold.





I added a 750 watt 110 AC inverter and plugs mounted in the front and back seat areas.

I really like these Wrangler Silent Armors. They are super quiet for an A/T tire, and they roll and turn real smooth. I'm on the road 99% of the time. These tires have great traction in the rain/snow, and they're a 50k mile tire too. They work great for me, but I do think that a more agressive tire would look cooler.



BTW, I stripped the entire cab, doors, floor, roof, back wall, and applied RaamMat vibration dampening mat and Ensolite closed cell foam to reduce road noise. It's like riding in an Escalade now. :D
 
Damn, you even used the proper deadening. FatMat is a pile of **** IMO, and DynaMat is anal gangrape for the price.
 
RaamMat is awesome. It's much better than any grade of Dynamat. I try to use the best products whenever I can. Plus Rick is a great guy, the owner of RaamAudio.
 
holy moly, that is one nice Tacoma! In fact, I'm not even sure I want to call it a Tacoma anymore - you've definitely made it your own! Very clean, I like it a lot.
 
Awesome Tacoma! My brother-in-law would be so jealous! :LOLOL



What have you done to the paint? Looks terrific in your pictures....blue sky mixed with clouds always makes black paint look great!

Yeah, I love pulling up next to stock Tacomas and showing off. :D



On the paint I used SwirlBuster polish & pad, then topped with UPP. Good combo. I love both of those products. The wheels are only about a week old, and I haven't gotten a chance to polish them yet. They have a bare aluminum lip, so I should be able to really make them shine. I'll take the wheels off the truck and put some PB's Wheel Sealant on both sides of the wheel.

They're custom. I put the stock headlights in the oven, so that the seal would release between the two halves, then took the light apart and took out the non-functional chrome filler peice that goes inside the light. I coated it in black bedliner coating and then put it all back together, and put it back in the oven to reseal the housing. Then added some silicone on the seam for extra protection from moisture. It sealed up perfectly and it looks cool, especially on a black truck. This is a great mod to do to newer F-150's. They have a lot of chrome crap inside the headlight.



For a comparison, this is how the stock headlights look.
