2022 SR 4x4 - first new purchase in 22 years, going to build this one out, first mod!

Howdy everyone,
I have not been in any forums for many , many years! hoping to gain inside and knowledge from this group and get guidance as I over invest into my new truck.

The price tag to purchase a new Tacoma caused me to start with an SR , which will allow me to make it my own.

First up was running boards - there are way to many options for these parts - after climbing in and out of a half a dozen taco's with different running boards, I picked the basic 3 inch chrome round ones, which is my first picture - prior to install , under coating was applied to help with noise and road grim!

What is next - and where I am seeking input from this huge group
--- remote start
--- heated seats ( anyone done this mod , and installed Seat covers like RC ones ? does the heat still warm ur rear end with the covers on?)
--- audio upgrade ( looking for as crazy as stock locations and no cutting will allow)

After that... well we will see - but TRD lift, exhaust , supercharger are all on the scope of will I spend 15k to upgrade a 35k truck... well , I have built show and race cars that more than doubled the purchase price in the past , so time and wife's permission will tell what happens.

I am showing my age with placement of the picture, should have been at the end, but I am not going to even try and fix it, just attaching was good enough!

Joe!

 

Welcome to Tacomaworld!

 

Congrats! You can modify the truck in so many ways. What's your goal? Will it be a family hauler? Plan to off-road and camp? A mall crawler?

 

ppham, great questions!

Really don't know , but back and forth to work , in comfort - with great sound will be #1 -- towing trailers will be required - and off road will be with style and abilty to go where I point it - but will not install anything that is only for looks, got to have funtion to justify the dollars! And no way will it need a step stool to climb in! It will see dirt , pavment and the 1/4 mile time to time if if gets S/C! -- who knows might just be a tow rig if the wife signs of on a new GR corolla for the track!

Welcome to TW!

 

Does your screen name signify you are from Klamath Falls Oregon?

 

Welcome. What type of undercoating?

 

Congrats on the new truck! This seems like a neat build plan. I love the idea of the S/C on this truck. If you go that route you'll definitely have to document it for us .

 

it does!

 

Cool! I went to college at Oregon Institute of Technology down there from 2001-2003. Got my bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering.

 

I am not in a crazy salt area, so just basic Dealer added under coating
