    Hey all,
    I’m pretty new to the game here.
    I have a white 2007 (all stock) Tacoma.
    4cyl, 2wd, access cab. I’ve had it for a little over a year now.
    In all honesty, I don’t know very much about Tacomas since I am a first time owner.
    This little truck is my baby.
    I do want to get to know it more and know what upgrades can be done to it since I am wanting to keep this truck for as long as I can.
    Don’t have kids, so I don’t worry too much about the tiny/uncomfortable back seats.
    Eventually I would like to put a better stereo (possibly a touch screen) in the dash, along with better speakers. The stock ones aren’t horible, but I like a little bit more of a booming sound.
    I know it might sound ridiculous, but I would also like to put a little lift on it. Not for offroading purposes of course, but more for pleasant aesthetics. I do drive in the city, and it is my daily commuter (50% city driven, 50% highway driven). But every so often my s/o and I do like to go on road trips/camping and we always end up taking the Tacoma for the long drives as her little Corolla is packing on a lot of mileage due to her commutes to work.

    I would be grateful for any advice given to me as a first timer for any upgrades or parts or whatever I may need to really have my dream truck how I want it!

    Thanks in advance!

    I am new to tacomas (trucks in general) as well. I absolutely love my tacoma and wouldn't trade it for the world. I haven't done any really to mine either. The person before me put a two inch lift on it and I put 285's on it the other week. It is a good truck and haven't had any issues with it besides tire issues which got resolved after I got my ko2s and finally got them balanced.
