    Hey everyone,

    Been going on this forum for awhile as a guest and now that I finally have my own Tacoma a 2013 MGM TRD Sport DCLB I thought I would finally become a member. Super excited to start modding this baby out. Seen a lot of cool stuff on here.

    I'm brand new to this whole mod thing though so any advice or help would be awesome. It seems quite intimidating. This is going to be my daily commuter and she will do some very light off roading maybe just some mud trails. I will admit she will mostly be a pavement princess.

    I'd appreciate any tips on what you guys all recommend for that kind of build. (pavement princess/very light mudding)

    Semper Fidelis.

    First thing I ever did was get a Lund Genesis Tri-fold tonneau. Works great! I recommend it.

    Just another view from when I first bought this sweet baby

    I wanna add a lift next though. I'm thinking just like a 3-4" lift. Don't really know what kind though. Any advice would help.

    Nice choice! Can't go wrong with a 2.5" lift and maybe some 275/70's. I'm in a similar situation it's my 80 mile round trip DD and didn't want to go too crazy. Take your time and read, read read..search, search, search... Haha

    Welcome!
