    I needed this advice the day I bought my Taco…. Bought $800 in upgraded on day 2… granted I got a steal when retail was closer to $1600… but the money goes quick with this one.

    Also unnerving to start cutting up your bumper the second days after you’ve had the truck, but I love the results!

    Welcome to TW and nice looking truck. My second favourite colour on a Tacoma.:hattip:

    And don't worry about your wallet, it will catch fire soon enough :spending:

    I liked your post, just so I could unlike it.

    Seriously...Christmas lights in September? I hope you were lazy and just left them up from last year, and not one of those people who decorate before Halloween!

    Nice truck by the way.

    Welcome to TW, the nonsense runs deep here.
    Do what you want with it and stay out of the most hated mods thread.

    Now get rid of the air dam. It won't cost you a dime to to that.

    I did. LOL. But I'm coming from a 10 mpg Titan. So it's inherently going to be better. LOL.

    It wouldn't have any effect driving around town so I've been checking my MPG's on the highway. That's been inconclusive though, no difference. There's just too many variables like wind direction, load, etc.
    (I did put on a TRD Pro skid plate which appears to streamline the underside of the front.)
    I prefer the stance of the truck without the dam. Probably adding a roof rack would do worse to the MPG's.

    Don’t get lights. EVERYONE has those lights. It’s cloning at its best. Cookies cutter trucks. Pro grill on non pro trucks. Amber grill lights. Black badges. TRD skid plate. 33” tires. Rinse wash repeat.
