    I knew I wanted a 3rd gen Tacoma in like 2019, and finally saved up enough to get one this past weekend (March 2021). Over the past couple of months, all I've been doing in my spare time is watching videos and reading about what mods I want to do and how people use their Tacomas. Feels good to finally have one in the driveway. Although there are enough posts/threads out there to read for days about what the first/most essential/easiest/cheapest mods any new Tacoma owner should do, feel free to reply with any of your input. I'm thinking the first thing to go should be either that chicken-wire grille or the stock tail lights. Pics are always appreciated, so feel free to show yours off!

    Nice truck, congrats. First thing I did on mine was swap the grill for the trd pro, i then painted all the letters black for a murdered out look.

    Nice truck. Before you replace your grille, check what’s possible with a little black paint.
