    So I have a 2013 trd 4 wheel drive manual transmission. The only mods are a additional leaf spring in back to compensate for a shell. Would like to start some more mods any suggestions where to start? Engine, suspension?

    Welcome to Tacomaworld! Depends on what you plan on doing with your Tacoma as to what mods are best to start with. For me it was AAL's, wheels, tires, 5100's, Allpro bed rack and RTT for weekend camping trips.

    Ill get some pics up soon. I do go 4 wheelin, and camping quite a bit and of course there is the look thing. Not really a fan of body lifts, don't mind a lift created by suspension though. Also my horn stopped working all the other controls on the steering wheel still work. I saw something saying it is most likely the spiral cable in the steering wheel. does that sound right?

    Well since you go 4 wheeling and camping, these are the mods you may want to do:

    Lift
    Wheels/Tires
    RTT
    Armor

    Some of the basic acronyms used on this site that might pertain to your circumstance.

    RTT= Roof Top Tent
    AAL = Add A Leaf (You already have this for your shell)
    DCSB = Double Cab Short Bed
    DCLB = Double Cab Long Bed
    ACLB = Access Cab Long Bed (redundant, as the access cab only comes with a long bed)

    UCA= Upper Control Arm
    LCA= Lower Control Arm
    TOB= Throw Out Bearing
    DCLBFTMFW= Double Cab Long Bed For The Mother ******* Win

    Don't worry, I know there's more I'm missing...
