    hey guys, I just got a 2006 Tacoma and I don’t know where to start on upgrades. It is a silver stick shift access cab with no mods yet. Any suggestions?

    Do your flootmat research, I love the husky liners I have.

    Also, that is a CLEAN truck for being an 06.

    thank you! I’m thinking about keeping the step until I get some running boards or nerf bars but I agree that the current steps aren’t the greatest.

    Ahh. Well I’m in McAlester, Oklahoma. I don’t know if you ever venture this way, but I have a pair of chrome nerf bars that came on my truck that you can have.

    Congrats and Welcome !

    I would start with a good cleaning and detailing, giving you a chance to examine every square inch.

    I'd also hang onto your wallet for now until you get the truck sorted out.
    The bobbles and tinsel can come later.

    Mileage ? Engine ?

    Here's to many (S) miles !

    Merry Christmas to you :cool:
