    Yeah, and hopefully this is the last mod I do for a while; Honestly, I should’ve stopped at the stereo and the beefier tires!

    Yours is pretty well loaded; A lot of my mods were stuff it should have come with from the factory...

    @PennSilverTaco I ended up selling my original wheels and tires to a guy with a 2nd Gen.

    One of my favorites; If I bought my uncle’s 2017 TRD Sport, I’d add those! I’m not a huge fan of the wheels on the TRD Sport...

    Agreed, the sport wheels are quite unattractive.

    They’re not bad looking; They’re just not as rugged-looking and seem like they’d be more at home on a Highlander or something...

    Or if Toyota ever sold a Lexus version of the Tacoma!

    @Taco critter

    Do you think I should go with the three LED marker lights on the grille or does that look too “busy”? I just realized that with the possible exception of the blinkers, my headlights no longer have any orange in them since I put in the aftermarket ones.

    I’m gonna go without the grille lights; Don’t really need them...

    Plus, Homer tries to avoid wiring other peoples’ vehicles...

    Remember the cheapo Boss head unit I had in my truck? I put that in @Gwyns04’s daughter’s Subaru almost two years ago but I couldn’t find the GPS module; Bought her a new one as a Christmas present and gonna install it...

    She already knows about it; Next project was supposed to be a backup camera, but COVID sidelined that endeavor. Installing a backup camera in a Subaru Forester is not as easy as installing it in a pickup...
