What accessories/upgrades should every new Taco owner buy first?

@G-Dawgg I am attempting my first link....
https://www.realtruck.com/covercraft-carhartt-seat-covers/R183641P2017Y608MA.html

Ifi I recall I got them a bit cheaper than the listed 450. They were having a sale perhaps. I got them for from the same company. I consider it money well spent and would reccomend them to anyone who came askin'

 

Practical:

1. OEM all-weather mats
2. @wileydavis Hondo premium radio knobs
3. @salex OCD (organized console device) center console tray
4. OEM bed mat
5. Window tint
6. OEM door sill protectors

For looks:

1. @rrentrop Tacoma Vinyl Decals matte black vinyl decal tailgate letter inserts
2. BFG LT265/70R17 All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires
3. OEM 17-in 4Runner TRD Pro matte black wheels
4. TRD Pro grill insert

 

Weather tech
TRD offroad wheels and tires (sr5 4x4 starter, predator bars included when purchased) $150 after swap sale.
bed mat $40
Kicker powered sub (a must).
TRD pro grill

 

Yes, been on that site before. I guess they up the price then. Thanks anyhow @SR510 !

 

An easy mod is vinyl covers for the front headlights

 

Keep your eye on it @G-Dawgg and you'll find them on sale. Isn't there some holiday weekend coming up? Check then. I've also seen a pair on the buy/sell/trade forum some time ago.

 

$6,000 spent before truck is delivered

@kerrdog

 

@zachgara4 what about them do you like better?

 

Ya gotta have one of these.

 

Tint, alarm with remote start, oem door sill protectors, and a keyport were all done the first week of ownership. Since then I've well exceeded the earlier stated $10,000 modification mark uhm, twice.

Only advice I'll offer is to what you feel would make for a practical or ideal improvement, it's easy to get hung up on having "all the things" but after honest reflection you tend to realize that the latest and greatest isn't that necessary after all and oem is fine.

Either way I hope you enjoy yours as much as I've enjoyed mine.

 

-Husky or Weathertech Mud guards
-Tonneau cover (Truck Covers USA - expensive but incredibly practical and useful)
-Bed rack system (used Yakima that connects to the Tonneau Cover
-In-channel Vent Visors
-All weather mats (OEM, Husky, or Weathertech)
-Front window tint
-Coverking Neoprene Seat Covers (about the same price - or cheaper through Costco, as the Carhartts and more tight fitting and waterproof)
-Running boards/steps/rock sliders. Choose based on what you need most - Running boards = protect doors, Steps - to help people get in, Sliders - if you're doing heavy offloading
-OEM Bed Mat - a must have, that plastic bed is slippery!
-ProClip USA Phone mount

That's all I did in the first month or so of ownership and I'm pretty well set for the time being - next up is a Prinsu rack for the cab!

 

I have the X-act contour and they are much easier to clean. Also if you spill something it is easier to remove the X-act contour because they are rubberized and pliable whereas the WeatherTech and Husky Weatherbeaters are molded plastic and stiff. Also, the Husky liners have stay put nibs on the back that won't allow the mats to shift, in my wife's vehicle I am constantly repositioning the mats. Obviously, this isn't a problem on the driver side because of the retainer hooks. Let me know if you have more questions.

 

I only lease, so bed mat, vent shades, and tonneau cover. Nice only having to buy gas and nothing else, no maintenance whatsoever for the time I have it.

 

I think you are right!

 

I've been in ownership a few months. I have a DCLB TRDOR with every option. So far..

1. Husky Weatherbeater. Seen the WeatherTech and couldn't justify the extra money for them. So far Husky has outperformed my expectation.
2. Black vinyl letters on the tailgate
3. Front window tinting to match rears
4. Small thin red line American Flags mounted on the doors. Passenger side the reverse American Flag. *POP QUIZ* Why is there a reverse American Flag?*
4. Interior and license plate LED.
5. Tonneau cover.
6. Rockymount bike fork mounts.
7. Front bed rail.
8. Under rail LED bed lighting. *Mattgecko special*

Upcoming:
1. Derp front braces on grill
2. Deciding if I want to derp the stock OR wheels and add a red TRD sticker on the center caps. I will replace tires and wheels when tires get some wear.
3. Bilstein/OME lift
4. Bedrack
5. RTT

 

Good to know. The weathertechs stay put in the taco just because of the way the floor is. I can see how it would move around in a different design.

I actually like the stiffness of the weathertechs, but to be honest I only bought the ones that were more subtle with their logo.

 

You can't go wrong with either pair. They both perform very well and do their job.

 

Because when displayed on a moving object, the union is always to the front as it would be on an actual flag flying.

 

My Quicksand OR arrives next week, and I already have Husky all weather mats, Clazzio seat covers (black/black/quicksand stitching), avs window visors, console divider, oem door sill protectors, and vinyl tailgate inlays. Tonneau cover is next then c4 sliders

 

Well armour, lift, tires etc are all depending on if you will wheel or a mall crawler.
I got lift, armour and tires but I plan on wheeling/overlanding

But mods/accessories I think everyone should get

1. Pop n Lock
2. Bed mat
3. this thing
   $17 Vehicle OCD - Center Console Organizer Tray for Toyota Tacoma (2016-2023) - Made in USA - SLX126
   https://www.amazon.com/Vehicle-Orga...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=A3KYTK70RAF5BR2F0WDR

Not in any order.
But ya that salex thing...I was hesitant to buy it as shipping to canada and exchange rate etc made it almost $50CAD, but now...do not regret it at all.
I don't like having a thick wallet so I leave my fuel points cards in the centre, plus my sunglasses, a flashlight, knife and a some other stuff. Felt the open console sucked. But that tray alone helped organize it so much better.
Seriously these should come with every truck. Dunno why toyota doesn't offer anything. I know my parents subaru came with something just like it.
