    Hello Everyone. I have spent the last week or so browsing the forum and I am just floored by the amount of content and knowledge that is here. Last Thursday, I bought my first Tacoma and I absolutely love this truck so far. I have a son on the way and I am holding back on upgrades for now but I can almost feel myself going broke already. So, here we are leaving the dealership on Thursday night. What I need now is some experienced owners to tell me where to start with upgrades. Thanks and I look forward to being around here for a good while.

    Welcome and congrats on both "boy on the way" and your first Tacoma. I too am a first time Taco buyer. Really love mine even if it is pretty basic. Beats the tar out of the '97 Sonoma it replaced. I hated that Sonoma. The Tacoma is so much better in every way. Making small changes to mine a little at a time. Mostly cosmetic to individualize it to my taste.

    He is here now so we're adjusting to a new style I have added Weathertech mats so far and bought some black Plasti-dip for badges when I get the time. I also added an aftermarket Kenwood DDX371 I had from my old Mustang. In Florida, when I get home from work at 5:30 its almost dark. After going in and seeing my son, there is no time to really do much of anything since I lack garage space right now.

    At the price I got it for, I am very lucky.
