    So I just became a tacoma owner and thought I'd share my truck. I'm a fairly young tacoma owner (18), and am new to the off road/truck modding community. (This is also my first post so if it's formatted weird or in the wrong section, my apologies).

    I just purchased a 2006 TRD OR double cab with short bed. So far I've installed survival gear, a flashlight mounted on the side of the driver seat, a light inside of the console, and a basic toolbox under the driver seat.

    I plan on buying a KB Voodoo bed rack as my first major mod. The truck came with very new and decent a/t tires so I'm not going to upgrade those just yet. The suspension, which I confirmed is the original suspension, seems to be in decent condition considering the 170k miles put on them.

    Any suggestions for basic mods/future major mods are definitely welcome.

    Pictures below:

    Got any pics of your toolbox under the driver seat?

    Good looking truck! Mod your truck for your use, not others. If it gets you to work and home, plus your weekend playground then it's a slam dunk.

    Congrats on the new truck! That's a good looking ride. Sounds like you've got good plans for the bed rack already.

    Look up Sonoita, Arizona. It's a pretty unique place.
