    Hey everyone names Rich. First time tacoma owner. Looking to get started on throwing mods on my tacoma. Money is tight these days so I went with a 2018 sr 4x2 I know go ahead and make fun of me for a 4x2. Wish I was able to afford something nicer. Why not start at a base model and turn it into something real nice.

    Also any recommendations on beginner mods that will be more useful to me over visual for now. I do plan on lifting it getting new rims and tires. For now I just want simple mods to do.

    Hi everyone! First time Tacoma owner, super excited! Drove a Jeep then got a Tundra...then decided to downsize to a 2018 Tacoma. It’s the TRD Off-road 4x2..it’s got the rear differ, I was used to 4x4. I don’t hit the trails as often anymore so I figured I would save a few bucks on the 4x2.

    Welcome to TW!

    I have wet okole seat covers on the front seats and love them. They are made of neoprene, so the are waterproof and add a bit of cushion to the hard Tacoma seats. IIRC, they occasionally do group buys that give TW members a disounted price.
