    13 regular cab
    So, I have bought a stock 2013 tacoma regular cab. The only problem with this thing is that it's totally stock ( bought from a Middle aged guy moving back to Florida) and ,being like most of you on this forum, this just won't do.
    What I want to know are ideas on how to make this truck beefier, meaner, and just all around bad ass.
    I don't have a pic of it (sorry) ,but I hope y'all can help me out! If you have pics that would be appreciated.

    Thanks y'all ! - Trout Life

    That all depends on what you consider bad ass and what you plan on doing with it.

    If you're looking for a more aggressive look, wheels with less offset so they give it a wider stance. Different grill of your liking. A lift always makes it look better.

    I suggest 20" solid chrome wheels, low profile tires, pin striping, chrome grill and running boards and a bad ass sticker on the tail gate. maybe a fox tail hanging from the radio antenna. LOL
