    Always dreamed of having this truck. It’s basic but I dig the hell out of her. Let me hear some good first mods and go.

    Nice truck. Drive it stock for six months. You will then know what you want.

    Welcome! Sharp rig. Sometimes basic just hits the spot.

    If you peruse this site for a day, you're gonna need a big fat wallet for all the shit that you never thought you would NEED for your new truck!

    Yep...I had to have a TRD bash plate. Bolted it on and haven’t seen it since. As others have said...take your time. The more time you spend here, the more you will spend.

    Welcome! Love the truck!

    I second (third?) the opinion to wait a bit and see what mods you really want/need.

    Looks great. First thing I bought was a OEM bed mat. Keeps things from sliding around in the bed.

    First mod, shut off Tacomaworld, push away from the computer or phone and go drive that thing. Your wallet will thank you for it. :mudding:

    If your a weekend warrior like myself, you'll wanna upsize those tires to a nice 265/75/16 A/T. A 2" Bilstein 5100 Lift is best bang for the buck. Save yourself a lot of trouble and don't get a cheap spacer lift.

    And ya, like mentioned, drive it!!!!!

    Welcome to TW!

    If you are going to haul anything much in the bed, a bed mat is great.

    Other than that, have fun and drive it. Then you will learn what you really want for mods.

    Welcome to TW, congrats on the purchase, and nice truck :thumbsup:

    Completely agree w/ the drive it before you mod it comments. Buttttt, if I were you the air dam removal would be my first "mod" and fog lights would be the 2nd.

    Cheers :cheers:
