Owning a truck like the Tacoma, there certainly are a few accessories that can come in handy, especially if you're someone who moves around a lot carrying loads. One such accessory is a bed net. It's one of the easiest things to install, and also, it can be removed at any time as well. It's certainly very useful for holding down bags together. Especially if you've got something fragile inside of your bag and want the bag to be steady at the back while you drive. A great and simple addition I can recommend for anyone to get for their truck.

Next weekend, I’m looking to upgrade the audio system in my Tacoma. I plan on taking inspiration from a build I helped my friend put together for his truck.

For the front, I’m planning to install Kenwood components, with 6x9 speakers and 3.5” drivers in the stock mounting locations for a clean, seamless fit, just like we did on his truck.

For the rear doors, I’ll add Kenwood midbass drivers, specifically 6.5” speakers, to boost the sound depth. I’m going with a Hertz 4-channel amp to power everything, keeping the audio crisp and clear, quite similar to my friend’s setup.

For the low end, I’m eyeing an MTX 10” shallow mount sub, perfect for tight spaces. Then I'll build a custom box and amp rack behind the seats, to keep it all organized and secure. If it turns out as good as his Tacoma, this setup is going to sound incredible. Won't lie, I'm kind of looking forward to it.
