I just knew JPRR2 would be a TRD man!

OH yeah BB but in fairness it is not a "Real" TRD. I ordered a fully loaded Revo as it was far better equipped then a TRD Revo. It would be a waste of money buying a TRD optioned truck here as the only thing TRD on a Hilux here are the stickers.
The entire factory suspension from my truck I yanked off at 1000km and its long gone. I brought over a bunch of Tacoma TRD parts from a few of my Offroad race buddies along with a full front and rear suspension from Toytec Suspensions. Long story there as we were not sure it would work on a Hilux. My friend Chris set me up as they wanted pics after it was done to hopefully break into the Hilux market. It all fit with the exception of a few steering parts as they were designed for left hand drive. I had to fab up reverse parts for that but no biggie. They plan on a few shows in the future at the Impact center. Outside of that I have a few subtle touches pluggin the TRD. The other day at gas station near Ban Bueng, there was a foreigner guy filling up next to me, He came over and we started chatting. He said "He knew I must be a foreigner because my truck looked very "Western" modified. We laughed. Nice guy. He was from Australia and wants to get some off road products sent over for his Revo.
@ Ant.... In Cali I used to go to car shows in LA and Oakland and some of them guys have sounds systems that I have watched them physically blow the glass out of the car. No Shit. Its crazy but amazingly the music was always crystal clear and not all distorted as in the vid. Of course we can argue whats the point but we all do our car hobby stuff for our own reasons. Any car/truck mod stuff to me is fun. That said I do miss good car shows. Cali used to lay some good ones down. Beer, music, women, BBQ's.
From the east bay Oakland.....These guys have systems you can hear for miles.
Let me dig them up. I am still waiting on the owners manual, forgot it and they will send it to me but its intuitive to use so its not a big deal.. My set up was ~ 20k baht complete drop in. That includes the full bezel that bolts right in and replaces the factory Revo one as the screen is much larger and its got to go. Its also linked to the back up camera and all the steering wheel functions.
on Edit Bogon, Here is the business that sets them all up in BKK. My wife knows them through the Pajero group she joined.

Well, Mendip - you have a long way to go, but several posters to support you!
Welcome Mendip....WELCOME!!!!
Hmmm. When does it end? Well I think it might end after the speakers but....... then you will start to enjoy the clarity of your music and you might just want an amp.
As for your daughter complaining about your 80's music.....I have to side with her.
^^^^ The guy at the car place did try and persuade me to get something that sat under the driver's seat... maybe a 'bass box'? I declined... said I was too old for all that stuff.
I had my daughter with me as well... and she has this really annoying habit of reporting my spending back to the wife. I bought her silence with an hour in Playland and a pizza in The Mall while the speakers were getting fitted!
^^ I would certainly get some strange looks picking up the daughter from her posh school in a truck like that red one... aahhh... maybe that could be fun, but not really fair on the littlun, all her mates' parents seem to drive BMWs and there's quite a few Porsches turn up as well.
This is my set-up now, and I think I've gone quite far enough. I can vary the 80s compilations with some 70s stuff as well for the sake of variety.
One thing I haven't discovered yet... what happens if the phone rings while I'm driving?
Time for some Armoral on that shifter cover.. Perhaps soap and water first.
^^ Do you know... I was just looking at that picture and thought how disgustingly filthy it makes the inside of my car look. It looks quite clean in real life.
I guess after 13 years it's time to clean it up a bit. I'm right on to it!
Smell???
^^^ I need to read the manual... that BT thing is always showing on the screen, but so far I haven't really thought much about it. I guess there must be a microphone in the new 'head' unit then?
^^ That green plastic grocery bag hanging off the 4 wheel drive gear stick is the litter bin! It gets replaced most weeks!
^ They sound good, mind!
Don't forget the armoured wind-shield.
