2015 TRD OR modification help

So I bought a 2015 TRD Off-Road in Magnetic Grey Tacoma today. It's fairly stock overall. Fixed a regret I've had for a decade where I had a $500 deposit down on a brand new TRD OR in 2015 and switched over to a new altima because my job had me traveling an hour in each direction when I was making that decision. Oh well here I am now. Sold my 1500 Sierra to turn it into 3 cars because my daughters are drivers now. I plan to drive this for the next 3 years until my boys are old enough to drive and I will pass it off to them.

Things I would like to do to my rig would

1) Change out the front grille to a pro style that says "TOYOTA" on it.
2) Change out the rear bumper to black
3) Change the emblems from chrome to black
4) 2" lift/leveling kit
5) Add a "hidden" light bar to front end
6) Change out the entune system and add Navigation (maybe even upgrade the speakers - sound isn't that good and it's impossible to see the head unit in the daytime)
7) Add a console safe(bed safe?)
8) All black rims

Open to other "must have" suggestions.

So what I would like to ask is what are the best solutions and where is the best place to find quality deals on this mods? Thanks in advance

 

Search is your friend, there are thousands and thousands of posts and threads covering all these topics in detail over the last 10-20 years.

Welcome to TW forums.

 

Welcome. Get a rubber bed mat. Kind of a must to prevent stuff sliding on the plastic bed.

 

My build is set up to haul a Super Pacific camper and all the accessories, so my suspension is heavy duty, but you can see most of what I have done to date such as front bumper, winch, sliders, skid plates, suspension, etc by clicking below.
Lots of purpose specific builds on TW. Just look around and you likely will find someone’s build similar.
Good luck and have fun with your new, to you, toy!

 

Welcome to TW. As @Ridgewalker1 suggested, spend some time in the 2nd Gen builds forum. There are also stickies at the top of this forum that cover common mods.

I have done a lot of what you are looking to do on my MGM but it's built for 50/50 trail pavement use and carries a lot of extra weight that you may not need/want. Details are in my build thread - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/stickytacos-boosted-eff-cancer-build-and-ramblings.452204/

 

Welcome to TW!! Hows the mileage & frame?

 

Doesn’t anyone keep it stock anymore?

 

Ditto. Nothing more beautiful than a meticulously maintained stock vehicle.

 

Frame is solid as a rock. Drives great. Clean as a whistle. Mileage is 176k though. 1 owner. But it's to be passed onto my twin boys in 2.5 years when they start driving.

So I found the grille all over the internet, but I can not find the bezel trim to go around it so there isn't chrome on it.

Does anyone know where to find either. A black or magnetic gray bezel that surrounds the grille and deletes the chrome?

 

Whatever you want.

black you can do plastidip.
Grill I got a raptor light one that says TOYOTA
Mainly wanted lights so Hyundais stop flying across 3 lanes with no signal sideways in a 45mph road doing 10mph

surprise
Wired the lights
They still do it

2” lift not the best but probably the cheapest
5100s and your choice of AAL
maybe ext brake lines

 

welcome!

If you make any changes to your suspension, do your research first! Read all the posts and watch tons of videos.

Personal opinion…keep that baby stock as possible!

 

no.

 

Do you have the chrome bezel that goes around your grille? I really don't want to plastidip it. I can't find a black or magnetic gray bezel ANYWHERE on the interwebs.

 

no I have a raptor grill with 4 lights I got so the truck is visibly a truck and Hyundais stop at-fault yeeting in front of it

no painting needed

which come to find out they still do any way
Came to the realization they’d still do it even if I was driving a semi, brinks truck, or APC
It’s that or they’re busy hitting poles and walls

 

I ordered my grille with the MGM surround from the dealer. Try calling your dealer or searching eBay (I had several pop up in a eBay search just a second ago).
