    Some of you may have seen me looking for a truck to buy. Well, here it is. A bit outside my price range, but I'll make it work.

    2014 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road
    • Dual Cab
    • Tow Package
    • AMP Research Bed X-Tender
    • Tonneau Cover
    I was able to take it out on a good drive today. Probably about 100 miles with probably 20 of those being dirt forest roads. I LOVE this truck!

    I ordered Weathertec floor mats since the truck only came with carpet mats. That's my first purchase. There are so many things I could do to this truck as far as modifications are concerned. But I've read some suggest only to get what I need. I think an LED light bar would be really cool, and maybe add lighting to the bed of the truck some how. And/or a roof rack. No idea where to start.

    Nice truck! Leave it stock is my opinion. Along with your weathertech floor mats, I highly recommend weathertech side window deflectors to keep out rain when you crack a window. And stone/bug deflector to protect your hood. Enjoy your new vehicle!

    Nice truck. Sounds like you have the mod bug already. Just my two cents but I would get the husky liners weatherbeaters more plyable material ive had Weathertechs in the past and think the husky are better just my opinion. Good luck with your truck
