    I say None / Nothing... (for now).

    Give it a bit of time, (say 3 months) and YOU will KNOW where that money needs to go without doubt.

    You are lucky to have $600 available for additional toys for your TOY. Spend it wisely.

    BTW - $600 is not a lot these days, unfortunately. Especially in a Taco.a context



    * said that, you will likely need some console organizers, definitely a bedmat, definitely a case of OEM oil filters aand the related tacoma oil change tools. - And most definitely some woolwax for under the taco's knickers (rust protection).

    - Those above are not toys - these are necessary. And they cost $.

    The good news is that your $600 should about cover it...

    Make a payment, or tint your windows. Window tint will make it harder for people to see in, help protect t you and the interior from heat & UV damage, and it will also help keep your window intact if it gets broken (like a kid shooting it with a pellet gun). Plus, it looks better tinted.

    $600 in gas to just head out.
    You'll discover things you want/need even more than what's on your list now.
    Put a map on your garage wall and throw a dart at it...go there.
    Take a buddy, girlfriend, dog or just yourself and your thoughts...this is a good time to enjoy your truck and figure things out.
    The accessories, upgrades and other doodads will come along soon enough...just go have fun and see things, meet people and go places you might not have otherwise.
    Someday you'll look at your headlights, bed mat, seat covers and stuff and be glad you got them...but you'll look at your trip you took, the memories you made and the fun you had, and you'll smile...;)
    That's a damn fine looking truck you have there my friend!

    Are you dead set on the leather Clazzio covers for $600? I’m getting them eventually, but for now while my kids are little I went with Rough Country neoprene for a fraction of the price (full set Amazon sale for $120) Sure, the Clazzio leather looks better but these don’t look bad, don’t get as hot in the summer sun, are waterproof/washable, and were a fraction of the price.

    Bilstein 5100 because $600 doesn’t buy good tires.

    Is that something I can do myself? What product is recommended? I live in South Georgia so we don’t see snow. They don’t salt the roads here but it still seems like a good idea to protect the truck.

    I’m not a fan of the neoprene texture, RC logo, and no color options. My last car had synthetic leather upholstery and I loved it. At work, I park in a garage so they don’t get too hot.

    I do need a rifle. Just sold my handgun and picked up a Glock 48 MOS a few months ago for EDC. Ammo and trips to the range ain’t cheap. :infantry:

    They tinted the windows as part of a package when I got the truck.

    Do nothing to the truck. Treat you and your significant other to a restaurant that you would never normally treat yourself to .

    If it's not paid off, use the $600 for that. I've done bunches of stuff but I've taken my time and found deals, probably spending about half of retail averaged out. Brand new TRD skid $225 becuase a guy bought it then went steel instead (great for oil changes), Carhaart seat covers "used like new" from Amazon for about half the price (were unopened box was dented). Pay the truck off and watch for deals on mods you actually decide you want or need. I would do seat covers sooner rather than later though, just to save wear.
