    Bought my first truck!! It's a Blue 2014 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. Absolutely love it!! Only modification I'm thinking of right now is upgrading the stereo and possibly tinting the front windows to match the rear. Would love to hear about any other mods you guys suggest. Thank you.

    once you start you cant stop. also alot of things are interrelated so you do one mod you might need/want to do others. i would never mod a truck just cause. find the week points in what you do and fix those as you go unless your made of money then do whatever you want.

    Definitely not made of money. The stereo is pretty weak but it'll work for now. Maybe a gift from Santa.

    sliders if you wheel it at all. great piece of mind and they kind of stop door dings as well.

    Welcome! Mods all depend on how you plan to use your truck.

    keep it stock. get it ready for the camping and your climate. nice tires. basic recovery gear. camping stuff. maybe fridge awning, way to stay organized. take it camping. drink some beer, look at it, dream about what you would do/want to make it better then do it when you get home

    An allegedly good audio company is http://oemaudioplus.com/ because they've figured out good sound with a plug and play system. For camping probably a good idea to have a tonneau cover or camper setup in the bed, depending on how much gear you have. But yes definitely take it out and look and dream of what you think it needs :cheers: good luck!
