    I just brought home a 2017 4wd off road and excited to be a new Taco owner. Ready to do some mods but need advice where to start. Would like to start small until my checkbook heals. What are the top 3 things you would recommend? Also, any recommendations on catalogs or websites to buy accessories? Thanks for the input.

    Welcome to TW. You'll find so many different accessories and mods on here, no need for catalogs. In order to recommend mods, I have to ask what your plans are for the truck. Just commuting? OffRoad? Street queen? Show truck? There's plenty of mods to do in any direction.

    Thanks to all for responses. Most use will be on pavement as DD but off-road during duck season in sand and mud. No rock climbing or anything crazy.

    Any major concern with cornering if I do a mild lift? Say 2-3"? Also, does this good warranty?

    Cornering shouldn't be a concern but that doesn't mean you should drive it like a corvette. 2-3" is an average lift amongst Tacoma owners on here and achieved with Bilstein 5100s with stock springs or with Old Man Emu springs. A lift technically doesn't void warranty, however some dealerships will blame an existing problem on aftermarket anything. I wouldn't worry about it, if they ever gave you a problem, just move on to the next dealership.
