    Looking for xmas gifts for the big guy and dont know what to get my taco. My taco is stock with a Bakflip cover, side boards, car hart covers, voodoo phone case and radio buttons. What other fun upgrades to make him look good. Budget is up to $1000.

    Mod for intended usage.

    Performance or looks? Better yet, off-roading or mall-crawling? :D

    I can tell you what's on my list, if that helps :D:

    Rigid LED fog light kit
    Mud flaps
    Seat covers
    Bedrug

    That puts me well over $1000, but you already have seat covers.

    I think looks, and slowly moving towards off-roading performance. What the sequence for off-roading, tires first, then shocks, then skid plates, then sliders?

    Have black running boards which look fine for now.

    Carhartt Seat Covers are awesome. Mine came with mudflaps. Have you tried the rubber mat instead of bed-rug its awesome because things don't slide around. I have an extra pair of from weather tech mats since i got doubles for some reason. Waiting to have enough posts to sell on this forum.

    Rigid LED fogs, raptor lights, and side mirror blinkers all look sweet!

    Best upgrade for looks will be wheels and tires. Wheels with proper BS and offset paired with nice AT tires will make your truck stand out.

    Nothing makes a Taco look cooler than a sweet mountain or dirt bike in the bed. $1000 is a nice downpayment :)
