Hello everyone. I’m beezy and I live in San Diego county.

I own a 2023 tacoma SR and want to learn all I can about how to upgrade it. My first list of updates are as follows:
- oem trailer hitch
- skid plates
- catalytic protection plate
- side steps
- fog lights

Hoping I can contribute to this awesome forum.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome! I’d add a bed mat to your list if you don’t have one already. Also A/C drain mod.

 

Welcome. I'd add a 3" lift and some 33's to your list also...just to be safe.

 

what is the A/C drain mod? And what is it’s purpose?

 

A/C drain is just sticking out of the firewall and dripping on your frame. A fitting and a longer hose allows you to re-route it so it no longer does it.

wow that’s a shocker. Thank you for that. Sounds like that should be the very first mod done

 

It’s an easy one too. One trip to Lowe’s and some zip ties

 

You don't have a tow package, so just be sure to limit what you tow to the lower number in the owners manual.

Diode Dynamics are the hot ticket these days. @memario1214 from Hotshot offroad can hook you up, AND it's Labor Day Sale time!! Lucky you!

I'll second the bed mat as a useful item.

 

The tow hitch is only for using a bed extender to haul my kayak around so I won’t be doing any type of towing.

I’ll do some research on the diode dynamics fog lights as the stock halogen headlights are pretty crappy.

 

Look at some threads by @crashnburn80 our local lighting expert.

You'll find the best way to beef up your headlights and a great evaluation on the fogs. I promise you won't find better fogs and this weekend is the time to buy.

And for your use a Curt hitch is just fine, as well as it should be less than an OE hitch. I have one for the same purpose.

 

Welcome!
