    I agree

    although, really more an accessory than a "mod"...

    it's the best 100bux one can spend on a new Tacoma. I bought an OEM one for my 2010, and transfered it to my 2012.

    and...the mat can be bought for under 100 at most dealerships...leaving enough for lunch...or a 6pack of imported beer. :thumbsup:

    Do those xtreme bulbs really make a big difference? I'm interested in a set

    Much whiter light than stock, and seemingly more of it. Some folks have complained about short lifetimes, but mine have been in for 2 years. $30 well spent. They seem to have better reputations than the Sylvania Sylverstars, which are the other common choice.

    IIRC the URD SS was $100. I'm on my phone so I can't check current retail.

    Not for me. I had the Philips Extreme bulbs. Driver-side lasted 13 months; passenger-side another two months. They never looked brighter to me. When the driver-side went out, I replaced it with the OEM bulb and I couldn't tell which was brighter. I now have Hella 100/55W H4 bulbs (OEM is 60 watts for high beam); $8 each at Amazon,

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COBLJI/ref=wms_ohs_product . Nice bright high beams. Only had them for 3 months; so, can't vouch for durability yet.

    Thanks for posting this-- ordered the Phillips X-Treme bulbs today. After I get the rebate back they'll be $10.50/each.

    The Weathertechs were over $100 for front & back but I'll never have a vehicle without them or rubber floors ever again.

    i got mine from tractor supply for $43 with tax, it’s quite a bit thicker than OEM, only thing is i had to cut it to shape/size. but mine also is added weight in the winter now and summer. i’d say it’s a good 80 to 100 pounds.
