What Are Your Top Three Tacoma Upgrades?

Remote locking tailgate, Bed mat, Tonneau Cover

 

Bed mat. 4" oval side bars. Subaru tweeter. Toolbox. Yes, that's four.

 

Nobody ever mentions it in these threads (and maybe for good reason), but easily the most impactful upgrade I’ve done is a D2S HID retrofit and BHLM. For the light output alone I’d rank it dead even with an ovtune in terms of daily use. It gets extra points though because the blacked out bezels look sexy and the cutoff is gorgeous. Sometimes I find myself paying too much attention to the lights and not enough on the traffic lol.

Of course this is all higher budget so maybe not gift material. I DIYed it for around $400 all told but labor took a while. Hit up the BHLM thread in the for sale forum if you’re feeling generous

 

In case you're on a budget, my top three for under $50.

I’ll play… trd pro shifter with meso stage 2 (ect and front cam w/ beat sonic kit relocate switch) technically that’s 4 mods in 1; katzkin leather seats; meso total tail stage2 with vled v6 triton extremes and switchback filling the holes

 

Tires, bed stiffeners, and remote start. (Replace with headlights if you already have remote start)

 

Interior map and dome LED bulbs!!!!


What’s your budget btw?

 

If you are looking for something affordable i agree with the majority. A bed mat works great. Sometimes so well I have a hard time moving stuff lol. Buy a set of led interior lights. Definitely an upgrade from the stock lights. Tacoma tailgate lettering inserts are a cool cheap mod as well.

 

Eibach pro lift, bedmat, Intermittent wiper mod.

 

Held that financial info back to see what practical, common mods y’all liked best.

 

Depends what they will use it for. For about 150 bucks you can get a spacer lift that changes the entire look of the truck. But I wouldn't recommend for hardcore wheeling

 

Window tint
Diamondback
Remote start

 

Yeah these are good for sure

 

I haven’t done any suspension mods, but the 3 best things on mine are hard a folding tonneau cover, OEM bed mat, and 265/75/16 Falken Wildpeaks.

 

265/75/16s, SS3 Pro fog lights, lightbar

 

Full long travel upgrade.

 

Agreed on the interior LED upgrade. Takes all of 10min and is a huge improvement. On the front driver/page map lights, it really helps to make a little tape cradle, press around the stock bulb and then use that to pull the bulbs out instead of trying to fit fingers in there.

 

Tires
Bedmat
Window Visors

 

My top 3 affordable options are bed mat, floor mats, and a couple of milk crates strapped into the bed.
