Well, at least it was sold as "Certified"... and hopefully has a warranty. I'm actually surprised it was sold as Certified - Most dealerships won't/can't certify vehicles (under Toyota's certification program) with mods like that.

If it were me, I'd confirm the truck was sold as a true Certified Pre Owned Toyota and not just a pre owned vehicle with the dealership's independent "certification" program. All of those electrical mods seem like a can of worms and potential nightmare if something starts acting up and you're trying to get it repaired under the factory/certified Toyota warranty. There was recently a 927 page thread about a warranty repair being denied over a basic electrical mod.

Regardless, it looks like a beautiful truck with some neat mods... just keep close eye on things. I'd look over the truck for marks/indentations on nuts and bolts or paint missing from factory bolts/locations. In my experience, trucks with that many small modifications usually have a several more that you haven't discovered yet (ie: something minor like aftermarket hood struts (in your pic)... or something larger like suspension replaced, then returned to stock). Have fun with the new truck.

Ok it's gonna be a long one haha I purchased my first tacoma a 2023 trd pro seems to have tons of electrical mods but idk how to use them or how they work any insight to these questions would be awesome.

What is the M62 sticker in my dash mean?

Appears i have 2 battery's and 2 voltage meters inside how do they work and does it look ok? They are reading 13.9 sometimes 14.0

Many led bars winch and lights installed with buttons which I'm familiar with

Button up top with lighting bolt means? I think it's to go into rear lock in any drive mode not sure.

Battery link button is always green appears to do nothing when pressed is that normal or a thing??

Oil catch can looks aftermarket what is it for and is it good or bad ?

Im coming from overlanding in a subaru have no idea please no scrutiny just asking for information and how to use certain things happy to be apart of a new crowd in the tacoma world.

Welcome to TW. Looks like you are parking outside an apartment or condo. Not sure where you are located, but you may want to consider theft protection to your Cats, tailgate and wheels.

Have the tailgate protected
Cats I'll look into might have something already haven't looked.
Wheels have special lugs but I'll consider something better perhaps.
