    Hey Everyone!

    My name's Casey and I just purchased a Tacoma. I'm really looking forward to learning from you and modifying my dream truck.

    I've started to make a list of some small things that I plan on installing in the near future:

    Exterior
    -Cali Raised 32" Hidden Lower Grille LED Bar
    -BumperSkinz Rear Bumper Caps
    -Blacked Out Emblem Covers
    -A.R.E. CX REVO Bed Cap

    Interior
    -Taco Garage Dashtop Single Phone Mount
    -Meso Customs Gashole Gas Cap Holder
    -Meso Customs Square Slot Empty Bucket
    -JDMCAR Center Console Organizer
    -JDMCAR Glovebox Organizer
    -Clazzio Napa Leather Seat Covers

    Tech and Mechanical
    -Blackvue 2 Channel 4k Cameras
    -Valentine One Gen 2
    -A/C Hose Redirection

    Unsure of:
    -the type of side step bars
    -the type of skid plate
    -OV Tune will be worth it?
    ++Can I factory reset at the time I want to sell again?
    ++Will it decrease truck value or void service/warranty?

    Recommendations will be appreciated!

    Welcome! Looks like your list is already pretty extensive. Remember everyone will have their opinion. Here you will find an endless amount of information some good some bad. There's going to be a lot of "you should do this because I did" and "oh boy i wouldn't do that" but just remember in the end it's your truck to do with what you want. Take advice with a grain of salt, do your own research and you'll be just fine. Most importantly have fun! Now get out there and mod like a monster

    Welcome!! I’m fairly new and have learned a lot in this site.
    The most important thing I’ve learned is there are a lot of other Tacoma enthusiasts out there.
