    Hello TW,

    New member that has been lurking for a few weeks now.

    Just bought a 2020 Tacoma Off Road in Magnetic Grey. Purchased this one with the off road, towing, advanced technologies packages.

    Right away I debadged the truck. I’ve never been one for stickers. Looks much cleaner to me. I’ve had some emergency items to the under seat storage in case someone has a bad day. Added the dogs bed. Next I’ll be taking off those Predator bars. They are just in the way and not functional in my opinion. I’ll likely replace them with some oh shit sliders. Tint, wax and that will probably be it for awhile until COVID lifts and we can get back to camping and light wheeling.

    This is my first Tacoma and I’m very happy. Go me! Glad to see there is a helpful community here at TW with lots of good reading.

    Oh I totally forgot. I ordered the TRD Pro Grille, the TSS garnish (aftermarket) and will be installing those.

    Good for you and congratulations.

    it was a close call between the Tacoma and 4Runner. The 4Runner is so hot looking. Ultimately the Tacoma was more practical.

    i was in the same boat but w/ no kids to tote around anymore and an avid outdoors, fishing, hunting kind of guy i figured it would be better to put my fish and deer in the bed of a pick up instead of the cargo area of SUV....lol.

Later I will add some sort of rock slider.; something that hugs the body pretty close so I don’t hit my legs. I certainly don’t plan on sliding on rocks. They’ll likely see more use as door ding protectors.

    All of my little accessories came in:
    Glove box organizer
    Center console organizer
    Rubber inserts for the 1,500 cup holders
    Sunshade
    LED interior light kit

    I had the truck ceramic coated on Sunday. Next will probably be tint and get my ODBII scanner working so I can view all those temps (will be pulling trailer at some point).

    Just waiting in Toyota to deliver parts now.
