    So I finally got rid of my dodge ram and upgraded to a tacoma!! My uncle had a 2016 TRD sport that I loved but he had a good bit of issues with it, so about a month ago I set my sights to find my perfect truck. 2 days ago I finally found her. A 2015 TRD Off-road edition with only 35k miles. This truck drives like a dream, and was well taken care of. It came with the bull bar, step bars, and tonneau cover. Now for the past 2 nights I have been on the forums and groups planning quietly how to build this truck.

    Nice and very clean, welcome! I always like to start with things that make the truck easier to use by me. LED interior lights, better headlights, maybe a different radio (unless it has a good one from factory) etc.. Youll find plenty of easy, cheap and very useful mods on here. Im wanting to do the rearview mirror mod soon which raises it up some for more visibility.

    1. Yeah I'm not a fan of the bull bar but I was going to leave it on and see if it grows on me.
    2. Badges are going this weekend.
    3. I freaking love the grill that you have. Did you do it yourself?
    I have only been on the forums for 2 days so I'm excited to dive deeper into things.

    Nice looking truck--keep the chrome grill so it doesn't look like the soccer-mom neighbor's SUV...

    Bull Bar does more damage than good in an accident, ask me how I know.
    Mine is Custom Made by Member @StealthTaco but I believe he is going through some business stuff right now.
    Get a @HomerTaco grille, pricey but probably the best made grille on the forum.

    And if you do decide to upgrade the bulbs in the headlights do not go LED as our Halogen reflectors are not meant for them. The light will be scattered, and it blinds people.
