    Small lift, not sure what kind.. Bull bar, n-fab step bars, undercover bed cover, led interior lights, Flyzeye lights.
    Ive had my Tacoma a few weeks now and finally sold my wifes old car, from that sale I am spending $500 +/- on my truck.

    I'd like to get the Core / Hurst shifter but have my doubts due to the "noise" that some people are complaining about.

    What is your favorite mods on your trucks? I bought used so I really dont know what all is done to it as far a a lift goes but I have already order 1.5" blocks for the rear..

    I just bought a roof rack and weather techs. $398 total for both. Got a set for the wife's car, too, so my bill was over $500 but the $398 was just for my truck.

    That's just the look I like, but until I get a new daily driver 35's won't happen.. My boss would probably make me start buying some fuel if I average any less than 15

    maybe it would help to know your wishlist. I know you can't do a bumper for $500, but maybe put it away and save up for one... if one is on your to do list.

    What's the stereo situation? A new head unit is on the list for me, not just a cd player, but one with gps and backup camera.
    Maybe a satoshi and behind grill lights?
