    None, just tactical seat covers for now.
    I am biomechartist and am glad to run into this forum out of curiosity of finding out more about TacomaWorld. A few family members and I have owned Toyotas throughout our lives, yet I am the first to own a Tacoma and am able to accomplish a lot more tasks in comparison to the vehicles that I previously owned or borrowed. I've had it for three years and haven't had any problems with it, as long as I kept it maintained. As of now, I own the V-6, 5-speed auto, yet will probably swap it for a 6-speed manual in the future. Everything's stock as of now, no modifications have been made. All i've done was install a soft tonneau cover on my truck bed and draped tactical seat covers on my front seats.
    I am relocating from North Carolina to Colorado soon and I may have to get some new tires. The tires I currently have are Dunlop which came with my Tacoma, in which I never had any issues with. I've been in situations where I had to drive in construction areas with the possibility of running over quite a few nails, wooden boards, gravel, etc. and mud and snow. No naile were lodged in the tires, I never had the tire pressure indicator light up on my dshboard, not even a hint of indication that I had low air pressure. Now the tread on my tires are less than 1/4 inch and I've driven over 60,000 miles on them, without incident of course. Would all-terrain tires be the best option to purchase and if so, what brand would be the best option to pick since I am transitioning into somewhat of a much different climate and conditions (a whole lot more snow, hills, mountains...also possibly towing a trailer)?
    There is no guarantee that I will be on this forum on a frequent basis because I have a tendency to work my butt off, however i will be here probably more often since I desire to own Tacomas for life.

    Hello Sailor!! Did you mean a biomech artist? I had to look that up, never heard of it before. Welcome to TW, lots of good info on here.

    Regarding tires, a good place to start:

    Greetings,
    Thanks for directing to me to that link, I'll take a peep at it to guide me with decision-making.
    In regards to my internet username, that is not a typo, caps and spacing included. I whipped that nickname together due to my passion for illustrating mechanical objects and science -fiction themes with detailed structure and depth implied.
