    Just bought my 2nd Taco. 1st was 2010 TRD Sport; kept it stock. Bought a new 2018 Midnight Black TRD OffRoad. Bought it at night, didn't know it's a very dark blue (close to black). Excited to get ideas to upgrade/mod.

    Let me know if anyone has input on first and/or necessary upgrades/mods.

    a lot
    welcome.

    perhaps tint and a good paint sealant.

    sliders if you think you'll do some off-roading.

    Thanks, Rob, for the tips. I got the sealant covered. I definitely do need tint and sliders.

    Congrats and welcome! Love the midnight black, My 2003 wrx was that color.

    I'd say get an OEM bed mat to start off if you don't have it already.
