    Got a tiny bonus from work and it's burning a hole in my pocket. Need some ideas on what I should do next...

    Lift and headlights done already.

    Sliders?
    What do you want out of your truck? What are you trying to do, long travel, expo rig, wheeling rig?

    Hate to say it but mainly a pavement princess, with light off roading during camping season. I was thinking about running boards/tube steps.

    Way to run in the bonus! I'm leaning towards steps, light bar or saving.

    Currently how the truck looks at the moment. abf98ba7a1ac264f4d7140de202e5f9e_8cdb3802a02e9638b679488b63c983a3ac64ed2a.jpg

    My good buddy is Hawaiian and is talking up these seat covers called Wet Okole. Do you if they are any good?

    Get a light bar, they make a huge difference!

    And regarding the whole seat thing, what do you prefer leather or just nice covers that are meant for all weather applications. Personally I'd take leather seats over wet okoles

    Very nice seat covers and very popular amongst the tacoma community also a great investment to protect your truck.

    If OP prefers leather over that then I'd say save up the extra cash and do it right the first time.

    My first mod on any vehicle from here forward is Weather Tech floor liners. Wish it was the first thing I put on my Taco.

    I bought my Weather Techs a few years back on a group buy, here. You can buy some and still have about $350 left over to spend.

    Front and back Wet Okoles are a nice investment, and for the price of step bars I would just get sliders.
