    2005 Tacoma Driver.jpg Hello, I'm and new member and just got my first Tacoma. I bought a used 2005, so I'm looking to see what updates and mods to do. A few things that I'm interested in doing soon is new radio ( i have the stock radio and it starts scanning channels all by itself) raise the rear view mirror so I can see better out of the windshield, and installing new tires. Still not sure if I want to install slightly bigger tires and leave everything stock, or do a small life 2.5 inch and install a little bigger tire. I'm open and interested in experienced suggestions and pro's / Con's

    Welcome! Lots of info here. In fact, more of an information overload. Using Google with the added search words Tacoma World can sometimes produce better results.

    I'm new here as well and I can honestly say that you are 100% correct, this place is information overload and that's not a bad thing at all.

    Welcome Fuzzy and good luck with your build.
