    Got my 2015 Metallic Gray Access cab Tacoma a couple weeks ago and immediately jumped in.

    Bought it base with convenience package to get cruise. Since then I have added:

    - Back up camera
    - OEM Fog Light Kit
    - Intermittent wipers
    - OEM Cargo net
    - Mini Tie Downs
    - Truxedo rollup Tonneau cover (it's actually just arrived at the house today, installing tonight)

    And I think I'm done although I'd sure like a prettier set of wheels/tires but maybe not in the budget for a bit.

    I'll likely assume the role of lurker after posting pics of my Tonneau cover later tonight or tomorrow or posting non-stop regarding wheels and tires.

    I feel like I saved a ton by basically buying a base model and adding the things I wanted, and I learned some things and had some fun as well. Not sure I ever owned a vehicle before that had such a well documented users group before. Kudos to you guys for all the help and photos.

    P.S. if anybody has a recommendation for access cab, metallic gray wheels and tires I'd love to hear it.

    Congrats on the new truck! I'd bet a lot of money that you're not really "Done" :D It's true, the community here is fantastic. I've never owned a vehicle before that has such an active following and forum. Most of the people on TW are great

    John... The only advise I can give you is run from this site as fast as you can. I said the same thing when I brought mine home. "I'm just going to take the wheels and tires off my 2011 and put them on this and I'll be done"

    Day I brought it home

    Around $5k later and I'm not even close to being done

    Sorry your an active member of this forum, resistance is futile. TW will eventually get a hold of your wallet and a cut of your future pay checks.

    Not going to happen @johneh.

    Prepare to lose your house, girlfriend and steady income to this site.

    I'm technically homeless now, but at least I got a bad ass Tacoma...

    Well said sir. I told my wife ALL I wanted to do was order these fancy seat covers I heard about on TW (Wet Okole) and then I was done. Within the first 3 months I was 2 grand in. I'm at about $3400 now and I have an addiction :help:

    just saw your truck is a 5 lug so the sport wheels won't work but the hitch is yours if ya want it. Guess it'll fit.

    Yeah now I seem to be searching out hitches and wheels and tires. I guess you guys are right. After that though, that is it.
