    Some stupid expensive stuff
    First couple mods were:


    a URD Short Shifter so I didn't feel like I was rowing a boat
    Truxedo Truxport roll up cover (wish I had got a Softopper instead now)
    Rocky Mount locking fork mounts for the bedrails
    ImMrYo Rearview mirror relocation bracket (awesome)
    Removed flaps and all decals

    The short shifter and mirror bracket are by far the best, they directly affected the drive-ability of my truck and I get the benefit of them every day

    My tailgate getting stolen was what first introduced me to TW. Got up one morning to find it gone, I was totally naive to how easily they are stolen and how cheaply it can be prevented. Learned a lot that day on TW, now I visit TW daily. For $5 worth of hose clamps - just do it.

    Still looking for a replacement BTW if anyone has a 2nd gen around Denver.

    My first mods are the hose clamp for the tailgate, ordered weathertechs, and took off the dealers license plate holders. I don't do free advertising for dealers.

    #1 Bed mat. To excited to wait for a ride so rode my dual sport to pick up my brand new truck. Drove it home to get my ramp then back to the dealership to get my bike. First corner I took the ramp slid across my bed and took a small chunk out of the bed.
    #2 seat covers for the front. No kids at the time, 6 years, 2 car seats later I really should have focused on the back seats.
    #3 Toyota all weather rubber mats. lasted less than a year. Now have weathertech, love them.
    #4 bestop for the dogs in the rainy PNW

    2015 Tacoma DCLB Better Than TRD
    See Build Page
    Just got my 2015 Taco DCLB 4x4 just about a month ago. So far I've installed a K&N Air Intake. Just got the reinforced tailgate plate which I need to install. And I'm supposed to get my N-Fab Side Steps tomorrow!

    Just picked up my truck from having the stereo upgraded.

    Kicker 10" Subwoofers (2) & Alpine Amplifier in a sealed subwoofer box behind the rear seat. If you need an inexpensive double 10" box that DOES fit behind the 2015 Tacoma Double Cab seats I ordered Through Amazon from a company called "HiFi Sound Connection". Their Marketplace Item ID: #62341993311674. Got it for $97.51.

    Yup, me too. Nothing against them, but I don't like clutter.

    I think my first change was swapping out the factory headunit for something from the 21st century.
