    Title kind of says it all. If you've got $500 to sink. What would you do to your Taco?
    I'm thinking tint and speakers, but what've you got TW?

    Depends, what are you using your truck for and what's your plan for it?

    Buy gas and drive it somewhere you normally wouldn't have gone. AKA Road trip.

    I did preservation items first:
    Floor liners
    Seat covers (I have kids, so this is a requirement)
    mud flaps (save the paint)

    Here in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, we have strict restrictions on tinting. If I could do meaningful tint on the fronts, then I would put that somewhere on this list. Tint plus my list would have chewed up that $500, but you're preserving your truck.

    Forget what I said. Do this instead. Then come back to my list.

    Not sure what your plans to do with your rig are. I'm a commuter and homeowner who doesn't go offroad.

    Weathertech liners ($100 or so for the front).
    Vent visors (About $50 if you don't have a double cab)
    Bug guard for the hood maybe, another $50
    Speakers I guess you could spend a little on..I spent a lot on mine, I have 1" Fosgate tweets and Fosgate 6x9s that I bought adapters for so I reckon that was about $125 in all.
    Ratchet tie downs..$20 for 4.
