    Hey everyone! I bought a 2007 Tacoma Prerunner SR5 on memorial day. I got it with about 25K miles. It's a silver double cab. I am only 15(16 on July 20) and I will be making the monthly payments. So money will be a little tight but I would still like to add 'minor' things to my truck's apperance. I still have the original tires. They have 25k miles on them and my dad seems to think they have at least 10-15k miles left on them? Is that about right? I also would like to hear some good ideas for accessories to add to the exterior... Thanks:)

    Congrats on the truck and check out the mods & tutorials section. There are a ton of cheap or free mods you can do, until you save up some money and do some bigger mods. Enjoy and drive safely

    Welcome Chandler! Yeah I am in the same boat as you about the wheels and mods. I think I can get 40k miles out of my standard dunflops, so I have just been saving up money til I get the new wheels and lift. Like Paul's TRD mentioned above, the cheap/free mods thread is awesome if you wanna do some DIY mods to personalize your tuck. Welcome!
