Top 5 mods for a TRD Offroad Tacoma?

^^^^Truth.

Hanging with your Tacoma bros:




Hanging with your 4Runner bros:

 

1. My first one was Hefty Fab Sliders. They have already paid for themselves by saving my rocker panels.
2. Next would be tires because the factory ones won’t hold up long. I had hoped to do lift and wheels before or with tires, but couldn’t swing it.
3. Bed mat, I moved with mine fairly soon after buying it, definitely the way to go.
4. Upgrade your skid plates, the factory ones suck.
5. I really want to do a 3” lift, looking at Kings or Toltec Boss 2.0

Bonus:
A steel off-road bumper recently moved high on my list. I’m thinking the SSO slimline with the phase 2 wings, but they also mentioned combining the wings and the slimline into one single piece bumper. I also like some of the stuff I’ve seen from Hefty Fab. This opens up options for recovery points and a winch. It moved up on my list because I took a chunk out of the underside of my bumper wheeling about a month ago. My two cents is anything you can do to protect the underside is worth it, at least if you are off-roading it.

Pictures of the flatlink and fairlead?

 

Mine went like this:

1) Painted to match OEM Sport Hood on the OR before I even signed any papers (I know I know)

2) Painted to match Leer 180 XL Topper with windoors (for the dogs) and their full bedrug carpeted headliner, sides, floor, etc. Could friggin live back there its so nice LOL sometimes I just leave the back open and the dogs will just jump up there and hang out

3) Ranch Hand Grille Guard (pheasant / grouse stopper, deer protection)

4) Cargo Bed Divider

5) TRD front skid plate

 

1. Callazio seat covers.
2. Weathertech floor mats.
3. Bed mat is a must have if hauling essentials.
4. Bak flip MX4 bed cover.
5. Matt Gecko interior lights.
Future Mods Tacoma Pro grill and front camera.

 

Tires, tires, tires, tires, and then tires

 

1. Wheels
2. 2" front lift 1" rear
3. Pro Grill
4. Gibson exhaust
5. tail gate pop & lock

 

Suspension, tires, skids, winch

 

Minor mods I have done so far: LED interior lights, center console and glove box organizers, Bed Rug (bottom only), bed cleats, chrome exhaust tip to match my chrome rear bumper, and Bed Step. I have the 2020 LED bed light kit on its way and am thinking about the leather TRD six speed manual shift knob, but the $105 price is giving me caution... Oh, I almost forgot... the "endangered species" 6-speed decal in the back window!

 

Improve on stock look or function

1. Electronic Tailgate Lock
2. Diamondback tonneau cover to keep things in the bed safe, dry, and pretty much free of road dust
3. All weather floor mats
4. Organizers for glove box and center console and moved USB ports to outside of the center console
5. Added Taco Garage’s Dashtop Multi-Mount (DMM)

For Off Roading

1. Air Compressor and ARB air down tool
2. 285/70R – 17 KO2 tires and wheels
3. Eibach Pro-Lift kit and rear add-on springs
4. Victory 4x4 Sliders
5. Victory 4x4 Blitz front bumper and winch

 

#1 Steel rock sliders (because these trucks are capable enough stock to get you into some shit)

#2 steel or aluminum under armor (pick your poison) skid/differential/gas tank exc

#3 ditch lights (because you can never have enough light)

#4 for me was an ARE topper because I like to secure my gear

#5 lighter more aesthetically pleasing wheels with some AT’s

 

TRD Intake
TRD Exhaust
PRO front slid plate
32" (265-75-16) tires
TRD short throw shifter (if a manual).
Hellwig real stabilizer bar.

 

Tires, OVtune, Lift, Skids/sliders, Prinsu Rack

 

I have seen people move the USB ports to the outside. Is there a video or forum where you can see how it’s done. TIA

 

Got a minute to tell me more about your Hellwig Sway Bar experience ?

 

Noticeable improvement in handling. On long sweeping on/off ramps the truck stays flat. I haven’t had it off road since the bar install. Some say it limits flex but look at how many new trucks have rear bars on leaf spring suspensions. Easy install with only two holes to drill. Install tip: Get fine thread rod connecting nuts
(Ace Hardware) and lock washers instead of using the supplied double jam nut. Expand the pic and you’ll see what I mean.

 

I bought a 13 in 13. Here are the first five I did.
Stereo. Basically stripped mt old truck and moved the stuff over.
