    Congrats and welcome, OP!

    Bed covers range from soft to retractable to hard; lots of options. Personally, I opted for a Diamondback cover - it was one of the first mods I did to my truck, and is by far my favorite. They are expensive, but there is a group buy that's live, as stated above.

    OEM grilles can be found on a number of Toyota-affiliated sites; one that most members have had success with is RockAuto. Otherwise, aftermarket grilles come in a variety of flavors and price ranges.

    Bed mat is a solid upgrade, highly useful and not too expensive. I received mine at a good price from a TW member, @gunny1005, but there are other places to source it, like Amazon:
    $199 Genuine Toyota Accessories PT580-35050-SB Bed Mat for Short Bed Tacoma Models Black, 59 1/2" L X 52 1/2" W X 3/8" H
    https://www.amazon.com/Toyota-Accessories-PT580-35050-SB-Tacoma-Models/dp/B00B1TNQCS

    If you drive at night whatsoever, ditching the long-life halogen low beams is a must, in my opinion. This thread has great information and options for performance upgrades (actual upgrades, not LED "upgrades"), all affordable: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-hid-vs-led-vs-halogen-h11-projector-headlights.589465/

    Then there's the Meso cult - I mean, Meso Customs. TW major modder turned his hobby into a full time gig - high quality mods, depending on application.

    Plenty of options to upgrade/personalize your truck, just depends on your wants/needs/budget. Have fun!

    CL or TW market for a OEM tonneau, lots of us had to get one with our options and dump them soon afterwards (they are good, but dont work with shells and some racks).

    If you want to offroad, get offroad tires and sell all five Wranglers while they are still new.

    Forget what the Pro bro’s say, do it yourself with the stuff you want.

    JRE, that little in-post pic is showing $83 but when I click on that it shows $113? What did you get it for? Is this Amazon gouging west coast'ers or did the little pick just mix something up in the image price.

    I must be the only person without a bed mat. I like being able to easily slide things in and out...

    Correct, it’s a rubber blend with fiber, and heavy.

    YES> Mine was $113.
    If it's CA then its ^$$$$, I guess right? o_O
    To be honest, I was thinking this was gonna be $200+ when I read about them in this thread...so, imho, the $113 is OK.
    PRIME is Free Shipping, but now Amazon dings us CA's for the tax of $10.75 too.
    TOTAL $123.87
