    Hi guys!

    I just bought my first Tacoma yesterday and wanted to say hi.

    My 2018 Camry was totaled a little over a week ago. Got a Tacoma as a rental and fell in love.

    I have no idea what I’m doing with it accessory wise but I guess I’ll figure it out along the way. If you guys have any suggestions on brands or what you think are the most important modifications to do first are, let me know.

    anyways here’s Darth Taco.

    Hello. What modifications you do to the truck, depends on what you plan to do with the truck. Also where you live (e.g., country, state, province), has implications.

    To start “Weather Tech” floor mats. I “had” to modify the sound system. Added D-rings to the bed. Locking bed cover.

    Im probably going to call it all the wrong things so I’ll repent for my rookie sins later.

    But.

    As for current immediate needs, I need a ramp or steps for my old 50lb lab to get into the back seats.

    From there, it would be a new front bumper with a winch/recovery. Lights, bed rack, roof rack, lift, etc.


    Is extreme terrain a good site?

    Welcome @darthtacotayter

    Congrats on picking up your Tacoma, we are digging that wheel and tire package, bronze looks good with the colorway!

    Great forum to be apart of to help you get familiar with your truck or any modification ideas you have, tons of information on the site including informative members and vendors so don't hesitate to ask questions.

    Rear seat delete. It’s a deck in the back for the dog. I did a 2/3 rear seat delete.

    False idolatry unless it has raptor lights lol.

    Welcome to TW OP!! Tacomaworld is a wealth of knowledge as you'll find pro/con reviews for almost every mod you may consider. Regardless, "buy once - cry once" is a good rule to live by,... define your objective, and research here before buying and you'll be much happier in the end.
