    Hello All,

    I have had my Taco for a few months now. I am jumping in with a few bigger mods. So far I have done:
    Center console organizer
    Window visor
    Flex tonneau cover
    Pop and Lock (favorite so far)
    Homelink mirror (thanks Bob)
    Weather Tech matts
    Leather seats (part of purchase)
    TRD Pro grill (part of purchase)
    RCI sliders
    Plasti Diped rear bumper caps.
    Complete debadging

    Tomorrow will be new rims and tires. I am jumping to a 17 inch rim and KO2s. Will post pics soon. Have part of the Icon Lift, UCAs and OME leaf PAC here. Waiting on shocks. Those will go on next week. Here is a pic as she was before sliders installed.20170813_124017.jpg

    I will be selling the old running boards, tires/rims and suspension. It has less than 3000 miles on it. Let me know if interested.

    I forgot that I have a rack on order. I am hoping it ships soon.
    I removed the vinyl wrap around front windows.

    Future:

    SSO slimline bumper with light bar

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Right on and good luck in your quest for the perfect Taco!

    Hi TexGX
    How do you change the Homelink mirror and where to buy the parts, If you have the step by step installation post should be great.
    Thanks

    265/70/17. I think with a little trimming it should be fine.

    How many bolts do you have supported through the frame on each side? Did you drill the other two on the bottom of rag frame rail?
