Must-have upgrades?

Anyone know important upgrades I should do to my 2 gen toyota tacoma?

 

There are a lot of upgrades (mods) you can do to your Tacoma, let your wallet decide....but none are particularly important.

 

I find its very important to upgrade your fuel, the amount of needed upgrade always depends on how much upgrading you did the last time, and how many miles you travelled since the last fuel upgrade. If you don't then I hope you have upgrade sneakers.

Ok, now thats out of the way, what kind of upgrades are you talking? Like upgrade from the 2nd gen to a 3rd? Or suspension and tires? There are a lot of questions that you may need to answer before some one can answer your question.

 

I kind looking for interior parts that can help and improve the comfort and the look of the truck

 

No

Edit: Actually, scratch that, throw these bitches on the fenders for an extra 15 hp

 

Just some basic things if you don't already have them: bed mat to prevent things sliding around in your bed, all weather floor mats for easy clean-up, seat covers to protect the fabric factory ones (unless you have leather)...

 

Yea have leather but I think about buying a bed mat should I buy the delarship mat or different one

 

I've been happy with the one I bought from my dealership. I haven't heard of very many aftermarket mats that are custom fit (some are cut to fit)

 

Ok I'll check the bed mat out.

 

D rings for the bed. Some type of lockable bed cover. Pop-n-lock for the tailgate. Upgrade the speakers and tweeters.

 

The only after market I have heard of is folks buying a mat at Tractor Supply and cutting it to fit.

I think my yota bed mat was worth the price.

 

I have an aftermarket bed mat... Don't know the name anymore. Works fine. They're out there but the dealer's is just fine I imagine.

 

To start with, basic items Listed above IMO are needed.

Dash Matt (I live in Phoenix)
HD floor matts. Not liners IMO.
Bed Matt
D Rings (4)
Tint
Alarm/ Auto Start is nice.
Tonneau Cover??
I have a bed extender but never use it.


As far as extra items, I keep the following stashed \hidden behind the seats in storage or somewhere in the vehicle out of sight

Recovery cable
Shackle
Jumper cables
Two flashlights
Small bag of hand tools
2-3 pair of gloves
Safety glasses
Rags and towels
2 to 3 cables with a lock
Bungee cords
Smaller amount a rope
Extra T-shirt, light jacket, stocking hat
Two fluorescent emergency vests.

Lots of other things. Everything is hidden and stashed away out of sight.

This does not include mods

 

I think about getting a tint any suggestion on what tint you guys have

 

If minimizing weight is any consideration the OEM bed mat weighs in at about 30 lbs. There is a very similar aftermarket one but it is almost double that weight. For sure on the OEM mat IMHO.

 

I'm no pro on tint (i've used 3m in the past and have been happy with it), but there are a bunch of other threads here that have more informed experiences/opinions on various tints.

 

Definitely a ImMrYo rear-view mirror lift bracket.

 

Came here to say this.

Easily the best modification you can do to your Tacoma at any given price point.

 

Ceramic tint... worth the $$$

 

If you are over 6' and like looking out your windshield I third the mirror lift bracket, got mine from birddawgindustries
