    Stock 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport: looking to make it awesome
    Hello Tacoma World!

    I've owned toyotas in the past but, never a Tacoma. Over the summer, my wife and I bought a Black 2017 Tacoma TRD sport, and I love it. After looking through Tacoma world a little, I seem to be quite the novice but am looking to truly make this truck my own. What are y'alls "must do" mods to a Tacoma? I'm excited to get started!

    -Bill

    I have your truck Bill and swapped out the chrome grill with the TRD pro grill. It's a million times meaner looking in my opinion.

    Hi Bill! I just bought an Off Road, the first thing I'm getting is a cap for the back. I plan to camp out of the back of it, and it's nice to have more secure storage. You could be like most on TW and buy the Faux Pro Grilles!

    I did this simple mod/upgrade. Not sure if yours comes with a blind spot mirror but apparently Toyota doesn't think the SR5 trim level deserves it. My wifes base model Escape comes standard with this feature LOL.

    Next job for me: LED interior lights (and yes that was standard in my wife's car as well dammit).
