    Curious what your guys top mods are, or if you could only pick 5 mods to do to your Tacoma what would they be?

    I’m thinking my next mods will be a scooped RK sport hood, tint and roof wrap, and rock sliders.

    Just wanna see what others suggest

    OP, what the guy up top meant to say was you posted this in the 3rd gen market place which is for buy and sale. not the normal 3rd gen forum. So might want to move it before Mods say something.

    besides that. sliders would be top for me. and a compressor to refill the tires after airing down. i did all weather mats, and bed mat along with windor visors so i can open them up slightly and not get rain in. Also just got a remote start from N2designs with the smart module. truck is already pretty capable from the start. so skys the limit. also based on your needs/wants.

    So this is the kind of 3rd gen B.S. that all the 1st and 2nd gen owners gripe about.

    ....I get it now :)



    For a more serious response:
    Sliders
    Full skids
    Weathertech / Husky floor liners
    Mid-travel lift
    Tires (don't skip leg day)

    Another cheap one if you ever cross water is the diff and e-locker breather relocate mod.

    My first 5 mods have been, there are of course a lot more to come the Debadge and TRD Pro Grill was to change the look the rest were all to make it more functional for me. There is a lot more to come but this is my first tacoma so lots of research to put together my build (always have been and still am a Jeep guy, but wanted to build a tacoma as well).

    Debadge
    TRD Pro Grill
    Center Console organizer
    Glove Box organizer
    Pop and Lock

    Ok then here's what I did first.

    1. Bed mat to eliminate slippery stuff in the bed.
    2. Rubberized floor mats and seat covers to make things easier to clean inside.
    3. 17 inch wheels to give me better tire selection.
    4. Bed toolbox to store tools, straps, cargo net and hardware.
    5. Sliders to me are better than side steps to maintain clearance, underside protection and can support the weight when I'm lifting g things up to the roof rack.
