    Cool! Thanks for the pics!

    I am leaving my 'behind the seats area's empty...I like the extra cargo space. I still need to investigate what that small black plastic cover is just below the inside/passenger side rear window...

    Oh, you're in for a good one.

    You're gonna need a bed rack and tonneau cover, or a camper. You said you had dogs and stuff so maybe a camper.

    Get you some skidz, some sliders, front and rear steel bumpers, a 12,000 lb warn winch with synthetic line...uhhh...some kings, new UCA's. CMC, hammer those pinch welds, the wheel and tire of your choice to fit 35's at minimum. You're gonna need some baja designs lights to fill in all those empty spots on your front bumper. Maybe a prinsu rack and another light bar up there, while youre there maybe some scene lights for the camp spot? And fuck it, you've got thousands into BD lights already you might as well get some chase lights so you and your buddies can find you on the trail after you smash the sand dunes on your extended travel kings and 35's.

    Oh...and a bed mat :)

    I want one too but not even going to get one until I get a tonneau cover. I feel like anything in an open bed unattended too long might walk depending on where you park.

    It sure is. I just got my 2020 SR5 this week. Oh the list is something. I'm only buying a few things now that aren't expensive. My idea is to pay cash for all mods and accessories. I have my old Jeep to sell but can't right away because it was in a minor accident Sunday, so it needs repaired first. I have two tax returns and stimulus check I'm waiting on so when one of those comes I'm gonna get a tonneau cover bed mat and bed lights.

    My advice is buy what you need to travel and for sports you do or things you want as you go. Don't get overwhelmed with all there is out there to buy for these trucks.

    I like it, you just have to use the correct size cup bushing (comes with several) to insure it stays tight and doesn't rattle.

    I don't know about the bed mat. I got one. Had them throw it in at the last minute after the deal was... basically complete. Got stolen out of my bed within a month. So, why bother buying another if that is they way things work in this sick world.

    If you have dogs, may I suggest three very simple additions that are also budget friendly:

    1) Rear dog seat cover (makes cleaning so much easier): $34
    $36 URPOWER Dog Car Seat Cover for Pets 100% Waterproof Seat Cover Hammock 600D Heavy Duty Scratch Proof Nonslip Durable Soft Back Seat Covers for Cars Trucks and SUVs
    https://www.amazon.com/URPOWER-100-...er+back+seat+for+tacoma&qid=1596251165&sr=8-4

    2) Dog seat belts. Something like this works really well for my rather stubborn border collie: $13
    DOYOO Dog Seat Belt,New 2-in-1 Multi-Functional Dog Car Seatbelts 2 Pack Pet Car Seat Belts Adjustable Heavy Duty & Elastic Reflective Vehicle Dog Car Harness
    https://www.amazon.com/DOYOO-Update...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

    3) Dog travel water bowls (but you probably have something already). I never seem to have enough of these darn things:
    Friends Forever Collapsible Dog Bowl - 2 Pack Travel Dog Bowl, Water and Food Bowls for Dogs - Portable Pet Hiking Accessories … Blue
    https://www.amazon.com/Friends-Fore...dog+travel+water+bowls&qid=1596251291&sr=8-43

    That said, I will say those clear plastic containers you get that the deli seem to be the "water bowls" my dog prefers best.

    Hood struts, these tacoma hoods are heavy. Skids plates if you are going to go 4-wheeling. And of course a bed mat. What part of Colorado are you coming too? Do you have plans to do some trails while here?

    No one ever mentions it, but the #1 must have accessory for a truck has got to be ADJUSTABLE plastic coated bungee cords. Personally, I much prefer the flat ones because they seem to grip stuff a bit better, but that's probably all in my head.

    Plastic hooks so it doesn't chip your rear window or scratch your truck if it slips and goes flying. Adjustable all day long so you only need a couple and not a box full of them. I hated searching for the right length.

    Here is a good example, YMMV.
    Reese Secure 9481300 Orange 10" - 48" Adjustable Fat Strap Bungee, 2 Pack
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FQT19NW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I think its well worth the $10 investment. I keep them in the rear door pockets. The ratchet straps are under the rear seats and get used for BIG stuff. I probably use the bungees more than any other accessory.
