Our Midlife Crisis
United States
Registrace 22. 10. 2011
Welcome to Midlife Crisis. I am Aaron Carson a Real Estate professional of 26 years living in Phoenix Arizona.
Recently I opened up a shop to build custom camper vans with my son but out timing was not right. We experience major issues with getting a hold of new vans and materials to build them out due to the economy and supply chain issues. We did manage to build out a couple Mercedes vans and sell them but eventually had to close the shop and move on.
We purchased a 2022 Toyota Tacoma to customize and have some fun with and soon we are planning our escape from the US to travel abroad in to South East Asia.
Follow along and lets see what happens??

Hope you are eating whole food plant based no oil now. Prevent and reverse heart disease. By dr Caldwell b Esselstyn. All over CZcams
I have a 23 RT for work. I’d highly recommend getting some additional forward lights “fog lights” the factory bmw ones are nice and plug and play. The additional lighting is worth it. The Akro ton will change once you ride it. Ours got a little louder not obnoxious. Sounds good.
Yes this one has the additional lower lighting which I may swap out for a higher lumen light as I am sure the factory is not that bright. Also I am not much of a night rider, more of a day tripper.
Do you know the difference in gas milage from stock to the 265/70-17
I'm a little off topic here, but how did you mount the controller?
are u able to do access oil filter and do oil change without removing the bars?
yes you can access without removing
What about the mounting of the bag gaurds
check the channel, I did those first.
PMO with ur daughterr🗣️
294 hp... will this void warranty if installed before it expires ??
did you take off the neg to the battery before unplugging pedal underneath ?
Several people have asked the question, but I don't see a response. Is it worth replacing the rear door speakers with these JBL GX628's if you have no intention of adding the amplifier. I have a 2024 Prime SE and replaced the dash speakers with the JBL Club 34F- that was easy and made a difference. I am considering JBL speakers for the rear doors (leaving the front doors as is). I currently listen to a variety of music at the 40 volume level.
I also updated by dash with 34F. It has some noice while I go beyond 46 volume. Can you advise what is your fader and audio settings?
@@martinarokiyasami3562 I am not having a problem with noise. I listen to music at about 40, not as high as 46. I have the bass at about 80% of max. I have a 2024 Rav4 Prime (non JBL 11 speaker model) which has better sound isolation and less engine noise than the other Rav4 models.
Can't see shit
Would a lift void the warranty?
Does anyone make a bumper similar to the Body Armor that doesn't require you to cut the OEM bumper?
Great video Do i need amp for these door speakers ? I have installed Tweeter already Jbl club 322f which is really good upgrade... Now, I want to upgrade the front door as well. It will work without amp, right ?
Was all the new speakers running on your oem dash unit or dod you install an amplifier to power everything? Great video by the way.
Before and after comparing would be the smart thing to do.
The state fair am I correct
How does it perform in snow? any better with the height raised? I imagine the tires make a solid difference now too.
Thanks for sharing your story. Curious to know how you developed heart disease. Do you have a family history of heart disease or if you smoked? Glad to see that you’re ok
Did the door speakers give a nice bass without amp??
Im on OTT Tune Med/Spicy and now im re thinking if i should buy an aftermarket intake or not,… Will the extra $350 make a difference or not 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks it was very helpful !!
You're welcome!
Nice touch with the kilmats in the door. Did you notice any difference in noise after adding sound deadening only to the doors?
What is the green wire on the ic4 connector?
Great video! Would it be possible to indicate what USB plug you used for the install?
I bought them on amazon but you have to look for the aluminum cased ones and not the plastic versions.
Greetings: Why would you not rewire the speaker wires for better sound?
Nice job. Will you need to run an amplifier for new speakers due to the higher resistance in the new speakers?
As far as the dash speakers are concerned, I keep seeing three JBL models floating around the GX328, GX302 and Club 322F… they all look the same to me. How do I make the correct decision on which one to get?
You should always be using a plastic trim tool to remove those speaker grills on the dash so you DO NOT scratch anything with a screwdriver.
1:00 is 30 degrees (360/12)
Hi. I think I saw you in dating apps Sir
Crank horsepower is at the engine before your drive train. Wheel horsepower accounts for all your drive train losses such as your tires, diff., trans etc. So basically crank hp is hp before the other components take their tax.
Thank you for posting
Did you run an amplifier for the door speakers?
You didn't show the camera rear view mirror! That is nuts!
They could have given you longer bolts to compensate for the bracket thickness.
Thank you so much for this video. Helps to see how to tear down the door covers. I do have one hint that may help others. For the new speaker adapters for the door, you indicated you had to make modifications to the square hole on top. You do NOT need to do that. The big spade receptacle CAN be pushed through, by squaring it up and then as you push, you twist the it as well; since it's only plastic, it will deform and the spade receptacle goes through. If you have a hair dryer, you can heat it up (not melt it) to soften it before doing the same push-twist motion. For me, all 4 of mine were done w/o warming them up but it was about 75+ deg. yesterday. 5/3/24.
If you didnt offroad with the Rav4 depending on what your payment and all that jazz looks like it looks like a very nice ride! Seems worth it unless you reguarly offroaded, which I doubt if you traded it in for a Lexus in the first place haha
I'm an idiot, should have just kept the rav4
Very impressive SUV but not a vehicle you want to "offroad". Not sure if you frequently took your other cars offroad or if you just liked the rugged looks. You deserve that luxury but it seems more like a car you would have used in your real estate business to impress clients rather than your everyday vehicle now. Those Land Cruisers are impressive but I hate to see you take a big loss on this one.
Yes I took a 10k bath on this one but I will write it off as it is a business expense. Ended up getting another Jeep Grand Cherokee at half the cost.
@@ourmidlifecrisis Honestly $10K doesn't sound that bad. Glad you got another "deja vu" vehicle you are familiar with and know exactly what you got. Good luck with your new SUV.
Uh yes it did according to your cardiologist and every cardiologist in the world lol
On my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid there is plastic cowling covering the lower attachment point. None of the strut videos show such a configuration. I can submit pictures to clarify. I read in another post that late 2023 RAV4 Hybrids have the same issue.
What kind of brackets did you use for the LED?
Don’t worry Aaron I’ll bring a defibrillator whenever we hang out
Loved Your Video thank you
I0 considered doing the same thing regarding the lift kit. I know you can't go higher but to me 2" is neglible. Visually it is almost unnoticeable. While you're speaking you SHOULD BE looking at and viewing the vehicle. SMH.
was this an upgrade over the standard speaker (sound system) or the upgraded JBL speaker / sound system that you can get with the RAV4's? Trying to see if it's work the upgrade if you already have the factory JBL sound system upgrade. Thx in advance.
That would be my question, too. JBL system is "premium" over standard, but still JBL sounds dull, not dynamic sound. Hope @Our Midlife Crisis will answer here.
Are they still working good? I plan on doing something similar without a relay or switch.
Which speakers did you upgrade to ?
Get well soon. Rest up and stick around lol love your Tacoma vids 🙏 glad you are okay!
I appreciate it!
I would have tapped into to wiring at the back of the trailer plug. Probably would have been a lot easier.
That and also he should’ve used 3m tape that’s waterproof/environmental resistant than to drill the bumper.
