    This is the first purchase I have ever made on my own and after 8 days, I am still on cloud 9. All my past vehicles belonged to me and someone else (wife, sister, mom, dad, etc.). Since my purchase, this forum has been like crack. I check every accessory here before purchasing online or at local shops, and the stories I read give me good insight into what to do and what to expect with mods, accessories, etc.

    I am from Guam, and this is Tacoma territory. More Tacos on the road than all other trucks combined. I am glad to be here, and hope to get more refreshing ideas on how to make my own Taco unique to me.

    So what Mods would you suggest a beginner like me do first? I already put an OEM Aluminum Bed Divider, OEM bed mat, Tint, Locking bed compartment, Wet Okole Seat covers, and a 9" Aluminum (black) antenna. Thinking about a Compustar Alarm (2 way with 1 mile range), All Pro Sliders (Have a short wife, and a vendor here has one for $750 w/ install bc someone bailed on an order), then Black MotoMetal rims for my stock tires. Don't really want to lift it bc of the size of my garage and height of my passengers. Live on Guam so shipping here is killer if available at all.

    What do you all think?

    Do you like the divider. Does it fold up. The Toyota photos stink.

    Yes. I like the divider. Very strong and useful for keeping stuff from sliding on bed. Does not fold down. Made of Aluminum so wont rust. I do have a master python lock on it to prevent theft. I take it off the brackets and slide up to back of bed when transporting things like chairs or coolers and need the entire bed. Great for separating people and cargo.
