Your Plan of Attack

Just got my first Tacoma about a month ago and I had no idea what could be done to them, haha. Now I have a really long list of things I could do.
Was curious what your top 5, first to last, things would take priority for you? I'm really only looking for a small amount of off road capability as it's also my daily driver, but I would like it to look different and more aggressive than the stock. It's a 2016, black Sport.

 

lighting is my first suggestion. halogen bulbs suck. lol

Recovery equipment especially if you're going solo offroad be a priority too.

Tires even on stock wheels makes a difference on looks and offroad performance.

 

Bed mat, tires, wheels, grill of your choice, black tailgate inlays, black badge overlay kit.

 

1. Tint
2. Shocks
3. UCAs (most likely same time as shocks)
4. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/my-differential-breather-mod-photos.111954/
5. Can’t think of anything, I have a camper shell. Edit: (After reading comments) Ah yes, tires.

 

A non-OEM roof rack. I get asked about my prinsu frequently. I'm on the east coast though (like you), so maybe it's a little more rare than out west.

 

Drive it until you find a limitation, either functional or cosmetic, and then mod it until you find the next one.

 

If you have lifted your trucks, have you done that prior to alot of these or visuals come first?

 

remove the chinstrap

It’s too late, he’s here now.

 

I still get asked in SoCal.

 

Subaru (Kicker) Tweeters. Then work on the outside....

 

Protection, protection, enhancement.
1. Sliders and Skids
2. Lift, Tires and wheels if wanted
3. Recovery gear
4. What you find you need after previous items.

 

1. Determine your needs/wants
2. Determine your trucks shortcomings (opinion)
3. Prioritized said lists
4. Cross reference said lists
5. Determine how much your wallet can deal with now
6. Do that

Example: I am in FL and it is my DD, so this is what I began with.

1. Tint
2. Tonneau
3. Power Steps
4. ....

 

Suspension, wheels/tires, lights, audio, bike mount, bed mat, grille, shift knob.

Armor first if you need it. Not necessary unless you're pretty hardcore into off-roading though.

 

Limo tint
3" spacer lift
20" rims



but i went with:
bed mat
lighting (chose LEDs)
legal tint

everything else i upgraded as i needed to:

RCI skid after i bashed my stock one
Falken Wildpeaks after my stock Wranglers wore out around 44k (although you might want to switch sooner, the Sport Toyos kind of suck)

 

don't do nothing just waited $, drive the hell out of that beast.
