    Hey guys/gals, how's it going? Finally decided to snag me a truck so I went with an 08 Tacoma PreRunner (see pics) and give up my slammed lifestyle in my 03 Accord.

    The truck has to go through some rebuilding since it was in a wreck so I might as well start the mods and buy parts before I fix everything, what are some things I should add to it?

    Last thing, how do I go about getting an AUX port? My current stereo doesn't have one, can I just plug and play a unit from newer models or do I just buy the adapter?

    (Ignore all the PINK stuff, it's all coming off)
