    Congrats..lift, wheels and tires are a start of course. I had to wait awhile for mine. Hopefully they'll be in this weekend. I was a GM man for the longest time, but have always liked the Tacoma since they hit the market years ago. Finally got my prerunner in 2007.

    Welcome to TW! There's to many to list. Just look around and I think you'll be happy with what you can find. So much info on this site. It's all personal taste.

    Get the basics though:
    lift
    tires
    performance to make it sound good.

    That should be a good start. Enjoy.

    congrats on your upgrade, its nice knowing you have such a bad ass truck isnt it?
    The two mods i have done are the black head light mod and blacking out all my badges because im too broke to do anything else but lift is coming next. Those two are easy and make your truck look custom for just a little money
