What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

A good day. Trail ride with the Jeep crowd this evening.

They are actually a very good group despite having Jeeps :)

Tested newly installed Tundra spec Kings from Accutune to replace 5160's.

Got a little carried away and knocked the leaf pack out of alignment.

It is always something.........

About 30 more hours put into the audio install over the last week and it's getting close to being wrapped up. All speakers installed, crossovers mounted, almost 100' of speaker wire ran, and amp rack modified a bit. Pushing 12g wire thru the door accordion tubes on this truck is up there with the least fun things I've ever done. It's so much work to make it look like you didn't change anything, but at least my speakers match my wheels lol.

What software and microphone are you using? Damn that's super clean.

This is the DSP tuning suite that JL Audio developed to configure the DSP in their VXi series amplifiers. I'm tuning it all by ear - I never liked the idea of tuning by voltage. I can hear if a speaker is distorting and would rather tune accustomed to my taste vs what a volt meter says. Volt meter and pink noise just gets you in the ballpark anyway, still requires fine tuning by ear. Will take a couple more hours to dial in but it's getting there.

Ugh. So much fine tuning. I thought I could just get an ok mic, dial it in and just be done. Good enough for me since I didn't get too involved in the audio.
 
Archive Garage Hammer Hangers and 3.6" fabbed shackles installed this weekend and they're absolutely as awesome as every other review of them says they are. Stock, the rear end deflection allows every bump to feel amplified but somehow the suspension has an overall flat feel. All that is corrected now, and the back end is much more composed, more controlled and a lot more alive. Almost feels like IRS now. Just awesome.

Last night I went to hide the wireless Android Dongle. Gonna move it into the glove box while maintaining the factory USB port in the console as a charging port.
In between moving it to the glove box or the cubby under the head unit.
 
Drove from Minden, NV to Mono Lake, spend a day driving dirt roads around the lake, and drove back to Minden. Nothing on top, no trailer, and Load Range C tires (285/70 R17) and got 19.3 MPG. The lighter tires make a HUGE difference.
