    2009 Timberland Mica Tacoma TRD
    I just got my new/old Tacoma and I’m very thankful. Also, I am new to this website. It is a 2009 Timberland Mica Tacoma with TRD Off-Road Package. I want to make this truck a beast But for now it’s going to be how it is. I do eventually want a lift, wheels and tires(when I get a job). I want to get a light bar soon, so any suggestions for light bars that aren’t too pricy and good would be very much appreciated. Also, I do want to add little mods to the truck. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!E13A1ADC-9BDD-445B-BB63-005967E44CBE.jpg

    Welcome to TW!

    :fistbump:

    For mods, id say you should figure out what you like and dislike about the truck 1st. Then start mods from that point. Improving on what you like, or eliminating what you dislike.

    There are so many mods you can get lost in them :cookiemonster:

    Congrats OP on the truck. Take plenty of time to read all over TW and listen to the great advice everyone here has. Read over the service manual and be comfortable with routine maintenance items.

    When you play baseball and maintain a high gpa it’s hard to work. Thats why I’ll work in the summer.

    Congrats OP on the truck! My first ride was a 96 xj, It was fun while I had it but it’s nothing like a Tacoma! Check out the cheap/free mods like mentioned above first and that’ll keep you busy for a bit. I’m actually still working trough that list myself!

    enough to have fun
    I had this deal when I was in highschool. I didn't have to work if I played sports and did well in school. Nice choice on first vehicle. When you do get a job, please save as much as you can instead of dumping it into the truck lol
