What to buy with $1000?

I have a completely stock 2013 double cab Tacoma and have $1000 to spend on it. I know it's not much but I want to make it look better and this will be a good start to my build

 

Not a bad amount actually.
What you doing with your truck?

 

Little to no off-roading so will be a pavement princess but like everyone else I still want the "off-roading look"

 

Nothing wrong with dolling up a Pavement Princess this won't see an ounce of dirt unless it's in the Driveway.

 

the biggest impact on any vehicle's appearance is wheels and tires, in my opinion.

 

Yours looks very good! What were your first few upgrades?

 

My only problem is that any decent wheel/tire combo will be over 1k not including installation

 

Bigger tires, grille, and Hella 500's behind the grille.

 

Step sliders will give it off road look and protect your doors. There are some that bolt on to the cab, making it an easy install. And you will have $ for something(s) else.

 

Sliders I need those next.

 

Get out here Rick. We can throw a little dirt on that rig.

 

I will help you with those.

 

Help me what put them on

 

The skid that Rick has on there is another option.

 

Yes sir.
I need to help you with something one of these days.

 

here's a pic of mine before and after wheels/tires.

after



in my eyes it made the truck go from dorky to tough lookin'.

 

What tires did you put on there Mike?

 

At first I was dead set on new wheels but then I realized how bad it would look with aftermarket wheels and stock Michelin street tires

 

the mesh grille is a nice appearance upgrade for sure. Also do the black headlight mod! Only costs a can of spray paint and also has a huge impact on appearance.
