The Reason I Bought My Tacoma

is to bowhunt whitetail & take my canoe out fishing for bass.


What mods have you all done to make your trucks hunting & fishing machines?

 

Added some Mossy Oak Breakup Cordura fabric seat covers from Headwaters. A good set of durable camo seat covers are a must have for any hunting/fishing machine! Here are some pics in another thread:

Headwaters will even add gun scabbards, bow holders, binocular holders, etc onto the backs of the front seats for you if you want. The first time I blasted a big gobbler and jumped in the truck with blood splattered on the back of my pants paid for the seat covers in my opinion. Was carrying the gobbler over my shoulder and didn't realize blood was dripping down the back of my pants from his neck. Just wiped those covers down with an all purpose cleaner and they look like new today, probably would have ruined the fabric on my seats and stained them for ever if I didn't have the covers.

 

Fly fishing & camping on the Rapidan!

 

I use mine to go fishing and spending time in the woods.
So far I've:
Dealer disabled seat belt alarm
Weather Tech floor mats
ordered Wet Okole seat covers
added Firestone Ride Rite air bags
defrost/AC mod
wired led lights hooked on to high beams
added led bed lights

So far my truck as been great for hauling fishing gear around including boats, and has worked well off road. I still want to do the rear diff breather mod.

 

Marathon seat covers, TracRac TracONE cargo rack and TracRac kayak cradles. BFG All Terrain T/A tires before all that. I also added Weathertech mats, an N-Fab light bar up front and some backup lights on the rear bumper.

 

Oh yeah, forgot about disabling the seat belt alarm. A must do mod for hunters!

My dealer gave me a hard time about disabling the alarm, so I went and bought a seat belt blank on Amazon for a couple bucks that I can just insert into the seat belt when hunting.

 

Yeah, that's on my list. For the hell of it I counted the chimes with the seatbelt disconnected. 52 chimes. Jebus, unbelievable. They REEAAALLLLY want you to know the seatbelt is disconnected. . . . . .

Window rainshields are a must, the Weathertech ones I like. And the floorliners like Husky or Weathertech. A shell. DC to AC inverter if you don't have an Offroad version. Some kind of upgrade to the rear springs.

I like to have some screen in front of the radiator so it doesn't get clogged with insects. I have a Colgan vinyl bra that has a screen on it, but just hanging some window screen in front of the radiator catches the insects before they hit the radiator.
