    2016 taco off-road TRD
    Just bought. 3rd gen '16 taco TRD. I'm looking for mods. I wanna turn it into an overland monster but still a functional daily driver. Want racks, tents, suspension, bumpers and bars.
    There seem to be so many options and I'm looking for the best. What works, what doesn't.
    So stoked a forum like this exists.
    Any input would be great. Welcome all feed back.

    Keep the rubber side down.

    I'm looking at ARB, CBI and old man emu accessories. I have no doubt y'all can say yay or nay on what's most effective and what's essentially expensive crap.

    Thanx guys. I will look into those links.
    Y'all recommend any particular seat covers? I need a fitted, waterproof where my little men and dog aren't gonna ruin the seats.

    Thanks again!!
