    So, I'm really happy with my Tacoma, though I am curious if later down if it would be practical tp add LED lights, make them automatic, possibly add the entune 3 with android auto or get a new infotainment with it, and possibly add jbl to my truck. Because those would be things I'd be slightly interested in doing over the years. Oh, and I do plan on adding a few decals, though I don't know which would be best, vinyl or chrome emblems.....I did have in mind getting this but not sure if it would be able to fit along the hood as I kinda want to keep the trd sport decal on the bed (also plan on getting at least 3 more decals).

    I'm also thinking of getting a TRD shift nob and red fill in stickers for it and where it has tacoma on the glovebox and the back of the truck, just really make it my own and close to the upcoming 2020. Considering as I said in the intro thread I'm brand new to owning a new vehicle/truck I'd love any advice.

    welcome! So I’d say get some new better tires, and sell your OEM ones while they are still almost new.

    You mentioned adding JBL. Well it would cost you a ton, both money and time. It uses a completely different wiring harness, you need the speakers, sub and amp. Less expensive to go after market.

    If they're that much, then I can live without it.

    What tires would you recommend?

    That’s a personal decision- do a search for it here. There are so many options, on road or off, on snow and wet pavement or on dry sharp rocks, expensive or affordable... I just know that the Goodyears on these trucks don't do that well if taken off road, and they dont do much for height, or even for looks if thats your thing.

    Anyways, besides a first aid kit, good tires are probably the best and second most important first mod you may want to do.

    Sounds like you have the right tires then. Go on the beach at all? A good compressor would be good for when you air down.
