Mods in general

Hello person reading this. I have an 04 taco and I want to add some mods. I already have a muffler on it, air intake, running boards and bed cover. What else should I add to it? It is the prerunner with diff lock on it too. Thanks!

 

I guess you should really ask yourself, what are you going to do with it? Overland, rock crawl, mall crawl, race? Then go from there.

Only you know your end Game and budget.

Convert to a 4x4? Tires and gears??

A wench for those nights your stuck in the woods!! Though this can get expensive some times.

 

Not sure the wife would be too happy about getting a wench.

 

Yeah, a wench will be fun for those nights when you’re stuck in the woods.

His wife should be happy that that wench help his wood from getting stuck in the woods

 

I do want a 4x4 and I have thought of doing so. Isn't it like, 5 grand if not more to do so?

 

Do it yourself, and the only hard part is the gathering of parts.

If you've got a V6, then you'll just have trouble sourcing an 03-04 4x4 transmission.

But no, it's pretty cheap compared to most other things you'd modify your truck for.

 

But before jumping the gun to say 'I do want a 4x4' why don't you explore what your actual goals are?

Throwing money at a vehicle without a specific goal or idea of what you want or need it to achieve is a waste, as you'll find yourself spending more to replace those mods.

Figure out what you want or need to do with the vehicle, then ask yourself "is my truck capable of the task?"

If so, perfect you're almost done!

If not, ask yourself "how much am I willing to spend to make my truck capable of the task?"

 

You got a muffler now it's time for N²O

 

I also don’t know what you want to do with your truck but my opinion is since it’s a truck you should use it like one and that means hauling. If you are going to haul then IMO lack of bed lights was a shortcoming of these early trucks. Put in a bed light kit. They’re easy, you’ll learn something along the way and you’ll make it more functional in the process.


Just my $.02.

 

So The OP is a friend well help him out.

Since you must know his wife maybe she would be happy with the idea.

 

Replace the sound system.

 

I can get a wench for my Tacoma? Sign me up please. I need some wenches.
