What options did you wish you had when you purchased your truck?

DCLB 6MT

 

- Heated mirrors
- Steel bed
- Heavy duty tailgate
- Locking storage space
- Alloy wheel on the spare
- Spare tire crank access through the bed or, better yet, recessed spare tire space with a cover
- A spare tire jack tall enough to change the tires on a gravel road without having to place wood under it
- Decent rear springs worthy of a truck
- Improved front suspension with room for chains and increased stability in wind
- Better cab sound insulation especially in the roof.
- User programmable TPMS (a learning mode shouldn't be that hard to design)
- A horn louder than a bicycle horn

 

This option, but the dealer said they don't do those

 

navigation system

 

I agree 100%. I really need heated mirrors somedays. Cant believe they arent standard

 

This^^^^ And a high powered flame thrower in the rear bumper.

 

Navi, and bluetooth music streaming.

 

Nav and leather.

 

Sunroof! My 2000 had one and I miss having one.
Solid axle...My 83 toy had that and a sunroof.
The rock solid quality the Toyota had when they were build for off roading and made in Japan.
Other than that I love my Taco!

As far as nav and all that, you can buy better stuff than factory aftermarket. Not to mention the aftermarket stereo sounds a hell of a lot better than the excuse they put for one in when you buy them. I don't know how many people have asked me where I found the bed liner in my truck. lol

 

Thought about the OEM flamethrower, but the TRD rocket pod is just so much cooler:


The source (with some more Lybian weaponized trucks is here: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/06/diy-weapons-of-the-libyan-rebels/100086/# )

 

Blue tooth,e locker, brakes and suspension that dont squeak, and a better paint job, so much damn orange peel.

 

I refer to that war as the Toyota War

 

Toyota War officially refers to the Chadian-Lybian conflict 20 years ago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War

However I think the same weapons and vehicles, if not at least the same technologies, were reused in the Libyan Civil war.


Back on topic: I like the bed rails, but I with it had stake holes as well.

 

Nearly everything I wanted was included with the truck, so I only added a few options (hitch, alarm, bed step, etc). However, I was careful to avoid options (GPS/NAV, etc) which might be (likely will be) obsolete in just a few years. Easier replaced third-party devices are often a better choice for those tasks.

That said, I did add several aftermarket items (front winch, bed toolbox, side steps, etc), but that's not what this thread is about.

 

this is no longer? I've been lurking for a while, and definitely wanted to do the heat mirror/turn signal upgrade, and was wondering if I could get the turn signal mirror from the factory, since I will be buying new. anything that I am able to upgrade aftermarket(leather heated seats, stereo, lights) I will. I will be buying the truck with the least amount of extras to keep the costs down initially, and build from there.

 

What's wrong with vibrating ass-massagers?! Lol

 

Libyan Tacoma World Trail Run! YEH!

I wanted the non plastic option

 

badger please write up this mod.

 

I would like: Cruise Control, Intermit Wipers, Sliding rear window, Steps (or running boards), 6 disc changer, OEM fog lights, and backup camera.

have I forgotten anything?

maybe in a couple of years I'll be a newer one with all the options.

 

They have those I must have one.
