    Hey all, new Utah member here. This has been a long time coming. 2 days in and I am still in shock. I look forward to learning from all of you and loving my new truck! 2018 TRD Off-Road AT with Technology package. What is the first thing I need to do it? Oh, I did tint it already, so I guess, what is the 2nd thing? ha ha! #amped

    Welcome and congrats! Nice choice ;)

    Idk your goals but either de-badge or blacking them out makes a big difference on the cement color.

    The dealer was trying to get me to buy one. He said that bed plastic gets slippery. I will have to check this out more. Thanks!

    It does for sure.. The bed mat is awesome for holding things in place. That was my first mod if you will when I got my Tacoma.

    Welcome to TW
    Nice truck!
    My suggestion would be to take the mods slow- if an idea pops in your head wait at least a week to pull the trigger.
    Take advantage of holiday sales and group buys

    Can you elaborate on wanting a truck for 20 years and not buying it?
