    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    The sky is the limit.

    I started with weathertech mats and wet okole seat covers.

    All depends on what you actually want to do with the truck! It's got aggressive looking tires.

    Lift it before you light in is my opinion. Lights don't do much off-roading. Lifting it will make a bigger difference if that's where you want to go. :D

    Too few to list.
    Nice looking truck. You should start with maintenance items first before mods.

    Assuming you already changed the engine, diffs, tranny, and T case oils, as well as air filter.

    Before you start wasting money on things figure out what you need. Before ditch lights you need good tires. FIVE good tires.

    Get that matching spare with a matching rim and get a 5 tire rotation going.

    Thanks for the input all, I picked it up from a toyota dealership so i made them change all fluids, all new brakes, calipers. They did a good job. Thoughts on the rough country 3 inch lift? I dont wanna go crazy tall. As for offroading im not going to do anything that im going to break stuff. Not yet at least. Just tossed in some HIDs i got off Amazon, Overall pretty impressed with the kit, Was 40$ free shipping, 2 year warranty and its a Hi/Low kit which seems to be aimed pretty good actually from previous HID experiences.

    Supercharger. The first mod should always be a supercharger.

    @Cmurder Are the gains worth the cash? Mines a manual, not sure how much that makes of a difference for one. What are they 4 grand?

    It's really the only way to get actual more power out of our trucks. Everyone on TW that has one loves it. If ya got an extra $5k burning a hole in your pocket, Get a SC!!

    lol When i decide i dont need a place to live anymore i may get a supercharger, Until then. Its still Day 1 of the tacoma. I just sold a 2009 Hybrid silverado and thought id give a tacoma a whirl. Was gunna get a jeep but goddam their towing capacity is awful. Ranger is too small. Canyon/colorado dont have the offroad capability and the new 2016s were so dam slow on my test drive. Dont get me wrong i loved my silverado though.

    We have our last GM vehicle in the car port. When it dies, will never own another GM vehicle again. I hate to be negative about an American company, but holy crap, the past couple of GM vehicles we have owned have been terrible! That whole initial perceived quality thing... Yeah good for the first 50k miles or so, then everything breaks. My 2015 Tacoma is right at 40k miles and it feels like it just keeps getting stronger.

    @EricL See I got a different opinion. Bought that truck new in 09. When i sold it i had 210,000KM... replaced the factory front brakes at 170k, backs were still factory, and they passed safety for new owner. Is 210K even heard of for brakes??. No mechanical fails. No breakdowns other then one time i needed a fuel pump but that wasnt too bad of an issue. They fixed it same day. Gave me a free oil change and car hand wash for the trouble. Just offered a shit tradein value in my opinion for it. Maybe i was hoping for a higher number that wasnt realistic. BUT their loss i guess cuz the green ownership in my hand doesnt say 2016 Silverado z71. LOL
