    Best is a combo of 2 mods cuz of what it provides together more so than individually. Lomax hard tri fold AND OEM remote tailgate lock. Having the piece of mind knowing that stuff is locked and safe in the bed is the best. (nothing is 100% safe, but you get my point)

    Worst was the opposite of that. Had a soft rollup which leaked and just all around sucked. Returned it.

    Cheapest was free removal of chrome emblems. Only cost was a lil bit of goo gone.

    Enough for now
    Best - the static climbing bag and z precision cup holder, use each pretty much everyday

    worst - my viper cut, it’s uneven and I know it which bothers me.

    cheapest - hole I drilled in the neck of the windshield fluid reservoir to allow it to be filled to the top

    The best mod is a tie between bakflip and wireless airplay adapter. Essentially creating a 6ft trunk and never having to deal with plugging in your phone again. Once you have those, you can never go back.

    Worst mod is … I don’t think I have any bad mods!!!

    Cheapest mod are the door sill protectors I took off my 2nd gen and re-taped to use on my 3rd gen.

    I don't have anything I hate yet. Love my center console safe. I also love the bumper step that folds up. I am 5'7 and at 51 years not as able to jump down with out porking up my back. I use the word porking because I said fuck already in another post...

    Best: All of them. OEM LED Headlights and Diode Dynamics SS3 Max fogs, TRD Catback, Sound System, Bakflip X4S/oem tailgate lock

    Worst: Maybe the Etsy dash panel that I bought for the Auxbeam Ar-800 controller (fitament isn't the greatest, but it serves a purpose for all my other switches too)

    Cheapest: Z precision cup holder followed by oem bedmat

    Best mod: it's a tie between my folding bed stepper and my remote tailgate lock. Both are worth their weight in gold.

    Worst mod: nothing really jumps out. Maybe that little 3D printed plastic "drawer" I bought for that little cubby on the far left side of the dash. I keep my hearing aid batteries in it, so not really a sexy mod!

    Cheapest mod: I guess the center console divider was somewhere around $15 bucks but that thing is bad ass so don't let the price tag fool you.

    DIR combined with upgraded reverse lights is a literal night and day difference in rear camera quality in low light.

    Worst: none
    Cheapest: probably the covers for the bed cubby drain holes.

    Best : 2020+ LED headlights. I have other things I might light more, but these are objectively the best.
    Worst : CB - I still don't have an antenna setup I like, it's currently disconnected and I never used it when it worked

    Cheapest : AC Drain mod or any of the leftover 2013 parts I had that worked.

    Best - I don’t know, I like them all. OEM LEDs, bed mat, VLEDS VTAIL, interior LEDs, and many more. OTT Tune is nice.

    Worst - don’t really have one, haven’t hated anything I’ve done. I guess the dealer’s added plate frames and stickers would be a mod I hate (which I removed on day one).

    Cheapest - probably the goo gone used to remove the ugly chrome emblems like the Tacomas on the doors and the dealer stickers. Previous owner kindly removed the tailgate V6 before I ever had the truck.

    Recently added RAV4 blind-spot mirrors. I love them because I can actually quick-look blind spots now, but I kind of also hate them (initially) because the convex part of the mirror is kind of distracting when you're trying to focus on the main mirror. If i can't get used to them I may take them off.
