    @mesojdm does a LOT of custom mods. He is somewhat of the LED commander. He has done the 3rd brake light (2 versions that I am aware of), ultimate blinkers for your mirrors, awesome tails (multiple prototypes and versions); Ultimate mirrors that have blinker mod, puddle spots, and ditch lights built in; non-lit racks for the cab, cup holder change box, .... I am sure I am missing a S-ton of is work. :bowdown:

    I think he has an addiction. Fortunately it does serve many of us here on TW to watch and buy his work. :drool::popcorn::cheers:

    Edit: Not to exclude any of the many other members that create mods for us to blow our cash on. A few more include @tacitos , @mattgecko, @ACEkraut and so many others.
    Then we have some great vendors. We have such a fine community that helps us keep smiles on our faces, great looking and performing trucks, and empty wallets.

    I have to put a +1 to all of your notes. The truck feels good and capable but it feels like it could be a lot more than it is allowing itself to put on the pavement

    My two favorite mods are visible here:
    1. The SSO Slimline bumper
    2. The Level 8 Mk 6 wheels with 0 offset

    Both give the truck a more aggressive look.

    if you can pony up the $750 then i'd say get it. it will fix those specific issues and then some.

    you can check out the tune thread (if you dare... maybe stick with the original post for now): https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2016-toyota-tacoma-v6-ecu-tuning-alpha-release.495735/

    if you have any specific q's i'll do my best to answer, but all the info is in that thread if you can deal with that kind of headache.

    OVTune 1.02C-A hands down. Feels like a completely different truck and the way it should have been delivered from Toyota. Best $700 I’ve spent on the truck

    Welcome to the forum and beautiful truck! I've done a lot to my truck since July, as shown in the pics below. My favorite mod has been installing leather seats (Clazzio). Next would be the lift - it made it feel like I was actually driving a truck. Whatever you do, enjoy it! Once you get the mod bug, it hits hard. It's your rig, so make it your own.
