Just bought a Tacoma from a dealer. What should I avoid modding?

That's where I'm at also. It is easy to mod and do all kinds of crazy stuff to the truck. It is fun, sure, and for me it has done everything I have ever asked it to do at this point, but with the thousands of dollars I've sunk into it, I should had kept it stock as well.

Then again, stock is for old people.

Oh the indecision.

 

Well said, when I first bought mine, I told the wife I was not going to mod it, had a Jeep to beat on. 3 weeks later I lifted it, slapped on some new tires, skids and went wheeling. Sold the Jeep and dumped the money into the Tacoma. It goes where I want to go. Moab, CO, Idaho and other states. Wish I never sold my 1st Gen, that was a freaking big mistake. All stock and only had 45K on it.

 

What i have currently done is nothing major: LEDs, anti tweaker tailgate, head unit has been ordered, floor mat upgrade, maybe cool TRD mountain sticker. I am by no means an old guy, but I prefer reliability and not replacing CVs constantly. (Don’t know if it’s a similar issue but the lift on my Subaru ate CVs like they were candy).

Really I’m just looking for convenience and bringing a Stock 15 year old truck into the future.

 

Ok refund on the warranty has been started. They say 6-8 weeks.
I’ll keep looking for non-intricate mods to make driving the truck more enjoyable, but I agree to not get crazy on mods right off the bat.

 

So you're going to replace worn stock parts with new stock parts to replace later with non stock parts? I must be confused.

 

Best color there is. Oh and as far as modding the truck.... there is a federal law that says a warranty can not be voided just because you modded the vehicle. The mod must be shown to have caused the failure. I am not sure if it applies to 3rd party warranties or if it does apply because the warranty was sold by Toyota.

 

The cool trd mountain sticker was actually for a "rugged trail " edition of TRD off road model for 2008

 

Yeah the one I found was this:

I just mainly like the retro w/the mountains.

 

Congratulations on your new truck.

The warranty is usually in the sellers favor. Probably a good idea to request refund. The fine print on third party warranty’s can seem infinite.

Was the frame replaced?
