    2016 Grey Tacoma SR access cab
    Hi! I just bought my very first Tacoma, its 2016 Tacoma SR with access cab. I've only had him for a couple of day but I already love everything about him.

    I wanted to know if there are any easy mods that I can do to spaz him up.
    I bought him with a 4 inch lift, and I've started generic changes like seat delete inserts, side steps, and bed liner. Any suggestion for other changes or mods would be greatly appreciated, also brands and websites would be great to.

    Slow down on the cash exchange ... you might do something expensive you regret later.

    Pick your state/region (https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/regions.36/) and buddy-up with people who can advise you on places, techniques. Learn how much backbone you have for tilting roads and big nasty rocks.

    As an example ... Arizona has many roads simply labeled "Primitive, Not Maintained, Drive at Your Own Risk", so you take this sign seriously:

    Most of the videos of people taking on the most challenging trails show one person standing in front of the truck at a safe distance directing the driver SLOWLY through the best route through a sketchy patch ... "best" for both the vehicle and the known skill of the driver ("driver" would be you). This is not a speedy thing.

    Welcome!

    I would drive it for a few months and see what modifications you want/need after you have used it for a while.

    It depends on where you live and what you want to do with the truck like camping and off roading etc...As others have said slow down and read a ton of threads on here before shelling out :spending:Use the search tool too as well as goggle. Google your question and place "tacomaworld" behind it. You'll be amazed and read for hours.
