    Had a 2004 Limited Runner and followed the sister thread for a long time without ever really posting. Upgraded a few weeks ago to this beauty TRD Sport 4x4, then deployed two days later, terrible timing because now that's all I think about. Can't wait to get home and start the mods up!

    Initially looking to start simple and cheap since I just blew all my money:
    Pop and Lock tail gate
    Dip the emblems and grill
    LED headlight and interior light swap
    Black tailgate letter inserts
    Center console organizer

    Future upgrades:
    Bed mat
    Floor mats
    Bed LED liner by Matt Gecko
    Tonneau Bed Cover
    Looking into suspension and lifts/levels. All new to me so I want to do my research and do it right.


    Can't wait to hit some trails and see what she's got!

    Oh....and eventually get Toyota to fix the tranny computer chip.....IMG_20170408_171804.jpg IMG_20170409_141522.jpg

    Thanks! I went with it because I thought it would look pretty nice as I go for the storm trooper look. Looking forward to modding.

    Welcome! Great looking truck OP. Just so you know under the "deals & coupons" section there is a link for the Tacoma OEM bed mat new for $80 shipped to your door. I would put that on the top of the list of mods and would jump on the deal. I paid $80 for mine and it was used.

    Thank's for your support! Looking forward to joining the mod club.

    Good looking out, that's on my to do list just and for the right price it makes sense to jump on it early.

    My man.

    Thank you to both!
