    Just bought my first Taco yesterday. 2016 TRD Sport. It'll help me out with some of my work duties, but I'd like to upgrade some features and keep it looking clean. Any suggestions on tonneau covers(waterproof pref.), light upgrades, wheels, boxes, or any other hidden gems are appreciated. Looking forward to getting into this one!

    As promised. Liked the 5ft bed, but needed the 6ft bed for my work. First thing to go will be the grill, as I see many go the same route lol

    I like the meso blacked out turn signals and just picked up the stage 1 tail light kit!

    I also added a 3/2 lift kit, 17" matte black TRD 4-runner rims with BFG K02 285/17/70 (no rubbing at all even with factory mid flaps).

    I also added a TRD performance exhaust and cold air intake; the sound is music to my ears :)

    The trd pro grill is a must; I went with OEM vs aftermarket

    Yea I've been looking into swapping the lights as well. I like the looks of the morimoto led units, but I'll sweep through some of the threads before going crazy

    Headlights are next on my list and to your point I also like the morimoto but right now I'm leaning towards the new 2020 TRD Pro LED headlights...they're both around the same price

    Nice truck. Since you got the "long" bed, I think one the best mods you can do for appearance is a small lift/level, bigger tires, and wheels that widen up the stance a bit. Really helps make the truck look well proportioned and beefy.

    Agreed, I don't like the tires sticking too far past the fenders, but I will take em up a notch
