    Anyone know of any good mods? I'm debating if I should keep it stock or have a little fun.

    Well it all depends on your taste, lifestyle, and what you will be using it for. DD? Off road? All around anywhere truck? What shape is it in? ( <- as in how much do you care about keeping things original IE: cutting holes into the bumper etc.) those are all factors. Care about MPG or power? Comfort or rugged?

    Many Many mods out there just need a little more to go on.

    My truck has 206xxx miles I use it for a daily. I make pretty good money doing What I do.
    The only thing I have done to it was a cold air intake and put kenda klevers on it.

    I mean I haven't really noticed a difference in mpg but I'm having another issue that started yesterday. Just about every time I give it gas it sputters but my check engine light hasn't came on.

    That and your stock intake actually draws more "cold" air then anything aftermarket. Because it draws air from the fender well, not the hot engine compartment. Besides "cold" air intakes are nothing but a waste of money on our trucks, as they produce no noticeable extra power.

    there is this web forum. Can't remember what it's called off hand..... I read it at work mostly. Gives me about 1 milllion ideas on things I can do to my TACOMA. Not many in the WORLD that have as many knowledgeable toyota owners. Be aware though. It's not a place where we will pat your back and give you the easy answer.

    You've came to the right place for your toyota needs! open your wallet and prepare to be flamed for silly questions that can easily be answered by reading said forum ;)

    It's your truck, built it your way and not someone else's. Gather ideas from other member and apply those to your truck. Ignore haters who talk negative about a parts you installed or want to install.


    Happy trail:thumbsup:

    Except a snorkel... those draw in colder air. But if you're putting a snorkel on because "more power" you're dumb...

    But we all know the only reason for a snorkel is the bro overlander look... :D

    Cutting it off should be mod #0.

    I hope you're aware your ecu is position way lower then your snorkel. I been in river crossing in my tacoma where water is coming through the door seal, thus never needing a snorkel.
