    Hi guys, I just picked up my first Tacoma, it's a TRD Off Road DCSB. I traded in my old but reliable 2004 Nissan Frontier for it. Big time upgrade for me as it has Tech and Premium packages. It's like I just arrived in the 21st century! Starting to add some minor mods already, little by little.

    So far I've added:
    Side Steps
    LED Headlights
    TRD Pro grill
    Bed Extender off of my Frontier
    OEM Bed Mat
    MESO Gasshole!
    Pop N Lock Tailgate lock

    Next Up:
    Tint (looking for recommendations near Cerritos, CA)
    Ceramic coating for paint
    BakFlip
    Wheels
    ...a second job to pay for all of this!

    Thank you fine folks of TW for all of the write ups, recommendations, etc. I may not post much but I do read a lot and thank you all for your help.

    From the dealership:

    I wanted to wait for the 2020 also but I got a really good deal and really the only upgrade I really wanted on the 2020 was the Apple Car Play and 360 view camera. I thought my savings outweighed the 2020 upgrades that caught my eye.

    They're Tyger steps that I got off of Amazon, they look great and are solid. I recommend!
