    Thanks!! Haven’t really done much to the Tacoma, I just remove the decals from the bed. I’m going to either debadge it or dip the Chrome badges. Window tinting this Thursday and bed cover on its way. Trying to keep it simple

    Welcome!

    A bed mat is another simple but effective add on that won't break the bank.

    :spending:

    Got a pic or two of your ride?
