Tacoma mods

The money pit has started and it couldn’t be more fun. (Honestly no regrets) I’m waiting for a decent day and a good hand wash to take a bunch of photos of progress.
So far I have done:
:Morimoto xb headlights
:Cali raised raptor style tail lights (I love them so fuck your self and your opinions, I also live in wa state and they have had no issues in the large amount of rain we get)
ro grill
:Raptor lights
:sequential mirror blinkers
:bed mat
:Bakflip mx4 (arriving Tuesday)
:rock sliders (arriving Tuesday)
:bilstein 6112/5160
:icon AAL
:JBA upper control arms
iode dynamics ss3 fogs (also arriving Tuesday)
: 5 level 8 mk6 wheels
:5 Goodyear wrangler duratracs 285/75r16
:cab mount chop.
v tune
Left in my yearly budget so far is:
:ditch lights
:roof rack
:cab side molle panel (for jack and jerry cans)
:anytime camera kit
iff breather mod
:front window tint
I’m looking for smaller cheaper mods that I may have not thought of yet. Can be interior or exterior. Would like to know what other people have done on the cheap.

Where did you order your bilsteins from?

 

Did you stumble upon a big bag of money?

 

Shock surplus. I got really lucky.

 

No unfortunately. I’ve been selling the oem take offs and other things I don’t really use. Was able to sell some ammo and some gun stuff which raised a couple grand.

 

Carista OBDII plug in to get rid d of that damned beeping, plus other customizations. $20

Subaru tweeter upgrade $100

Pop n lock for rear tail gate lock. $100

Victory's install for passenger touch lock handle install $200

Interior Tacoma lettering for glove box, door sills, etc. $20

Bed lights $80 not sure what on the cheap is to you, so this is a spread.

 

Does homeboy sell a kit now for the door handle?

 

MESO makes a lot of cool stuff for the interior. I'm not a fan of chrome so the chrome delete kit, vent rings, and now door handle covers have been some of my favorite mods. AJT designs also has some neat stuff for the interior.

 

He lists all the parts you need to buy and you buy them and install yourself. It's pretty straight forward tbh. Just a copy of the driver side handle. It's symmetrical so it looks very stock. In fact I think the later years started coming with both done from the factory. Like 2020 and up

 

I have a component speaker and tweeter system.
I have the bed lights as well.
Both front door handles are the touch thing.
Sounds like I need pop n lock

 

Thanks for reminding me. I already got the steering wheel emblem cover but need to do the rest.

 

You can also customize your start screen to an image of your choice. That's free, or the price of a thumb drive.

 

I’m gonna you tube that

 

Also, might invest in some cheap recovery gear. An ARB snatch strap, or a Vair 88p compressor are both sub $100. Tail hitch shackle to use as a rear recovery point also would be cheap. Total Chaos bed stiffeners are $150, but the best on the market if that's still "cheap".

Also, a front/rear dashcam is a solid investment.

 

I have ath fab stiffeners coming this week and I have the 400p which I plan to wire on board later this year.
Definitely going to get some more recovery gear soon. Hitch receiver with shackle will be here tomorrow.

 

Then you could look at ditch lights and/or the MESO puddle lights. Both under $100. And my personal fav.

$25 Drop Stop - The Original Patented Car Seat Gap Filler (As Seen On Shark Tank) - Between Seats Console Organizer, Set of 2 and Slide Free Pad and Light

Will do.

 

on 2020 and 2021 tacoma's you can't customize the start up screen...
