Good Christmas Gift for New Tacoma

A great video from the Car Care Nut on YouTube identifies a lot of the tools that will be helpful.

He's great. Is there a YouTube repo here? Guessing if not, it's for a reason. Would be nice to have if it could be done without bias and all that stupid shit..

 

My Tacoma IS my Christmas gift!

 

A Kelty biggie blanket and jumper cables for behind the back seats. Dont know theyre there until you NEED them. Blanket comes in handy for back road tailgating...

 

another vote for the OEM bed mat, and a set of Diode Dynamics SS3 Sport fog lights in selective yellow

 

TRD Skid Plate

https://parts.franklintoyota.com/p/Toyota_2021_Tacoma/TRD-Front-Skid-Plate/75489794/PTR6035190.html

$282.20 + free shipping.....aint gonna find a better deal than this (for a new one).

 

His truck came with skids plates under the engine and front suspension - standard on TRD Off Roads. Would the TRD Skid Plate replace one of those or provide additional protection?

Thanks!

 

When I click this link it shows $332.00 + free shipping. Are you using another discount code or am I missing something?

 

It would replace the front skid plate he currently has, but would be stronger and take impacts better.

 

Guessing the sale has changed. NO special code…..

 

Tonneau cover and Pop lock are differently great. I love having the bed as extra lockable storage space.

 

The one accessory (isn't tacoma specific) that I use ALL the time and find them super convenient are retractable ratchet straps. So easy to use.

 

Tonneau cover would be perfect and can get up there in cost.

Pay for the satellite radio, it expires 3 months after the truck is sold.

 

It's amazing that people have such difficulty with normal ratchet straps and don't use them correctly....
BUT I just looked some of these up and they look really handy... mainly because they are self contained and store away nicely. Might have to get some of those!

 

You can always shop by price here ($50-$100). This link will get you almost 500 products in that range so grab a beverage and a BIG bag of chips before you sit down and start clicking.

Our favorites on this page are the $50 My Medic, SOLO kit, the $50 ARB EZ Tire Deflator is great, the Salex Vehicle OCD organizers were mentioned and an easy win if you're more an on-road than off-road lifestyle.

A great "kit" would be these or any light brackets with the light pods on the same page totalling about $100. Page two has some BajaDesign LED Rock lights - always fun for the younger crowd esp.
All these are just on page one, so I'd better stop here. Ha. Merry Christmas to your son!

PS-Only downside to the TRD Cat back is it's all one-piece and is longer than the room I'm in right now. So you might want to pick that one up in person and not have it shipped? Ha. Happy Holidays!
