    Just make sure college is paid for before going crazy on mods. Lol

    My first mods on my truck were wheels and audio system when I was 16.

    Know this, money spent in vehicles is money lost. Remember that, spend wisely and you'll have fun!

    Welcome to the forum by the way it's a helpful place. Plenty of ideas for spending money on your truck, that's for sure, but as has been said, remember vehicles do nothing but depreciate. Oftentimes money is more wisely spent elsewhere...
    Especially as a younger person

    I'm on my third Tacoma, only modified the latest one. First ride was a diesel VW rabbit. That underpowered sob got 50 mpg.

    If it's not 4x4, keep that a secret or you'll have to suffer for a while lol. Good lookin rig tho. I'd get new wheels first as it'll give you the most immediate visual improvement.

    Welcome and beautiful truck! +1 on the bed mat. Makes your knees happy for the next 300K miles. Also, invest in a Haynes Service Manual, make a spread sheet, and document service. It'll keep your truck running for a lifetime, and dramatically increase its value should you choose to move on.

    Nice truck! Now do this. Stand in front and have someone take a pic. Do this on every vehicle you buy.
    When your 70yrs old, you will have something pretty cool to show people.

    My first was a 1972 Beetle. For the life of me, I don't know why so many girls liked to ride in it. It was slow and had no A/C. All the cool kids had 5.0 GTs, RX7s or full size pickups. All of my buddies nicknamed it the love machine.

    Nice truck...

    Just drive it for a while and don't buy tires till you need tires.

    Resist the want to blow money on it just because you can.

    Don't let money burn a hole in your pocket.
