    Howdy all! This is my first Taco and second Toyota. I had an FJ previously and miss having that vehicle all the time so I thought it was time to get back into the Toyota world.

    I will be changing some things on this truck as time and budget permits. For now I will be changing the badging to black badges and will be looking to change to the TRD Pro grill.

    I have also removed the step rails and will be selling them to hopefully provide some funds.

    I have a 2017 Limited in Quicksand.

    Has anyone had any luck getting the chrome on the mirrors and door handles wrapped?

    Looking forward to researching the mods and other things I can do to further enjoy my truck.

    So true on the budget. Already going broke :thumbsup: Ordered replacement door handles, mirror covers, and fog light bezels to rid more of the chrome. Now to start looking for black wheels. And so it begins....

    If you need some new interior LED lighting to actually see in that thing at night, hit me up. I'll hook you up with a set of those (Trying to help support that budget)
