What accessories/upgrades should every new Taco owner buy first?

haven't had time when weather was good for pics yet.

 

Let me know

Been waiting for the Gen4 pics

 

pardon my ignorance. I;m saying gen 4 and mean't gen 3.

 

Boy I must be way below average. I would not spend 10000 dollars on mods if my life depended on it.

 

Thank you

 

Average owner spends 10k? Source please?

 

if that is the dumbest thing I do today, it will be a good day.

 

Well, I ordered the mud flap option on the new truck, but after what I have read, will pick up a bed mat for sure..

 

Check the Duke of Deals thread in the Deals forum for a good price on that.

 

My first 5 buys;
1. WeatherTech Floorliners
2. Morimoto HID low beams and XB LED fogs @TRSAndrew
3. CustomCarGrills.com ...well grill @customcargrills
4. Vinyl badge inlays from @rrentrop
5. Premium Entune Knobs from @wileydavis

As you can see, I discovered TacomaWorld after buying my floorliners...

 

Heres something I posted that parallels this thread

After floorliners consider seat covers. I got some Carhartt ones for around 375 if I recall correctly. I may not but its in the ballpark. Between work clothes, savage dogs, hungover coffee on a bumpy road and wet muddy camping or hunting trips your seats take a beating. There's all different kinds and prices. Find one that works for you.

 

How was the fit with these?

 

Personally I think they fit great. never slip, never bunch. They're aren't quite as skin tight as more expensive Clazzico (sp?, no idea) seat covers but they are quite snug. All the little holes and jammys line up for seat belts and pull tabs 10/10 and the head rests fit like a glove. They're made out of the same business as their work pants or classic jackets. Duck weave I think they call it? It takes a beating. Would recommend.

 

First month of ownership:

Bed mat
Seat covers
Tint
Wheels/tires (265/65/18)
Hid headlights

Since then:

OEM aluminum running boards
Lift (5100's)
Wheels/tries (285/70/17)
Trd pro grill
Trd pro fogs
Led headlights
Ceramic Pro coating

 

If I knew then, I would give Husky's a shot. Weathertech had really piss-poor customer service when I tried to return the bug deflector that was warped where they stamp on their logo. I went back and forth for days and caught a lot of attitude from them. They finally sent a replacement and didn't follow up with a return label so I kept the warped one just in case I break mine. I asked about these caps for the driver floor mat and they were dicks, apparently all their product images show caps where you lock it onto the floor but they don't come for that model.

Weathertech mud flaps were also different from the order and the packaging they came in. lol

 

The seatcovers are the best one so far . Take care of the seats,makes sense

 

Hey newimage, tell me about this Ceramic Pro coating. Would it help against trail pinstripes? What's it cost? I had and loved a 98 Tacoma for 12 years and pinstriped the shit out of it on forest service roads. This is my first brand new truck and while I understand eventually things will knick and dent and scrape, I am wondering if it would help guard against the thick bushes and thin branches I occasionally whip past in the woods. I've thought about having the sides of the truck wrapped in clear 3m but I don't know how it'd look and it seems pricey.

 

I read somewhere on here that if you wash the carhartts before installation that they fit more snug...I dont have first hand experience with this though

First mods:
Weathertech Floor mats
Debadged & removed front airdam
Matched front windows with rear window tint
TRD Pro Grill
Stealth mount light bar

Getting bed mat this weekend
Subwoofer install this weekend
ARE camper shell comes in next week

Endless list of future mods, I could see how it wouldn't take much to spend over 10k in mods...everything adds up quick
