    Hey everyone...I have 2013 Tacoma TRD that I am looking to boost with some mods...mostly cosmetic stuff like a new rear (black matte)bumper, black grill, levelers....I am late to the game since I have owned this taco since 2013 and have not done anything to it...but I love the truck and think it deserves some TLC.
    I appreciate your patience with me...I read some of these posts and feel like I am reading Swahili...many of you (Most) are way more mechanical than me)..hope to hang in...Thank you.

    Nice looking access cab! Welcome to the wallet drainer, I mean- TacomaWorld.

    You don't really have to be that technical to be able to work on these trucks... it's not like they are a Lamborghini or anything.
    Put it this way: If I can handle working on my truck, you'll probably be fine.

    Question: You noted leveling... Does it not sit level already? Hard to tell from the pic.

    You're never too late to the game. Just be prepared to look at other people's mods and think "That's cool!" over and over again until you realize that you need a second job to support all the modifications you're working on... :p :thumbsup:

    Welcome - I am a total newbie to this site myself - and as a guy who has wrenched on vehicles off and on since the 60s I can agree there are some extremely knowledgeable people here - a great resource.

    Welcome to the indoctrination, er, TW! That's a great looking truck. Be prepared to spend a lot of time reading thread after thread as well as watching your bank account run dry! :rofl: This is a great site, there's lots of knowledge here and everyone is willing to provide guidance. Enjoy!

    Righthand corner of the top of the page (on a desktop, not sure about mobile) there's a "you" link next to "inbox".
    Click and edit profile. I just did mine because you reminded me to update a couple things.
