    But my first Toyota ever, 2023 Tacoma, TRD Sport 4x4. Upgraded from a 2008 Honda Ridgeline. I’ve done a few modifications, but looking to see what other folks out there have done that are subtle and tasteful. Looking at mostly cosmetic or must haves/do’s modifications. Living here in Ohio and part of the salt belt. Ziebart is my friend. Wax is my friend! LOL!

    It's hard to do subtle in Solar Octane, but this is tasteful no?

    Does the western part of OH salt as much as NEO?

    Better safe than sorry to keep it clean then. I just let my cars rust out and replace them every few years.

    What Ohio Honda plant are you retired from?
    Just keep looking at this site, you will find way more modifications than there is for a Ridgeline, some are just for looks, some performance, and some just to spend your 401!

    Upgraded shocks.
    I’m a first time Toyota owner also so thought to say hello. And I have similar questions. Nice Taco. We went with a used base Gen 2 model but hope to buy our first new vehicle in a year or two. So looking forward to reading about the Gen 3 models.
