    Need some mod ideas!?
    Any suggestions are welcome!

    My driving habits:
    I live in Las Vegas, Nevada where the party never ends. I drive about 55+ a day work and other various reasons. During summer I would to be able to tow jet skies or a boat & I’m up in the mountains snowboarding during winter. What tires? Side rack? Tonneau cover? Winch? Bumpers? Tint? Wheels? Anything helps.

    For most adventures, the Tacoma is ready to go anywhere right out of the gate. I would suggest rock sliders and skids if you intend to take it anywhere extreme. Take it out and use it, you will find out what you truly need. Most mods you see on here (suspension lift, 35" tires, etc...) aren't truly needed for many of the trails out there, but they certainly have a "cool factor". If you plan to go rock crawling, that's a different story... But forest service roads and desert trails to get you out and seeing amazing places, you should not need to modify much at all.

    RR in the back too! Congrats on the new truck, I would recommend sliders and led interior lights are a must.

    Welcome! Sounds like you will enjoy the new truck!

    I'd drive it stock for a while and then figure out what works for ya. Maybe a local TW meet out in Vegas and you can see first hand what others have done. Keep an open mind. I never wanted a truck cap until I got one, now I can't see it any other way.

    +1 on the bed mat

    Bed mat should just come from factory. First thing I did, can't live without. Try her out then figure what you need. Like above look into tires. I got lucky and dealership swapped factory tires to duratracs for free. Great overall tire.

    Welcome! Tint your windows really really dark so people can't see that goofy smile you will always be wearing because you are driving a really cool TACOMA! Seriously, been said multiple times but worth repeating- BED MAT! The bed is VERY slick. If not tied down, stuff slides super easily on the surface of the plastic bed. the bed mat also makes it easier on the knees when you are moving stuff around. If you get off of the asphalt much, watch the factory street tires. They are susceptible to sharp rocks and stout broken root points. I would put heavier duty tires on.
