Need To Upgrade My 3rd Gen

Hey guys I have a 2018 Taco and it’s stock. I need some upgrades done to it so tell me what I should do. Thanks.

 

Need or want?

 

Welcome to the forum! Options? Bury your wallet before the mod bug bites! If it already has then I'd go with a lift and tires.

 

Normie starter pack : faux heritage grille, black wheels, heavy tints. Oh, and don’t forget the rear window sticker on the driver side.

 

Well a lift is expensive for right now. Do y’all know what the biggest tire I can fit stock? Thanks

 

5100’s are reasonably priced. Don’t rule out a lift just yet dude.

 

265/75/r16 is the biggest you can go without trimming. Some dudes on the forum are running 285s without trimming which can work depending on wheel offset and tire choice as long as you stay on pavement. 265s look nice on stock. You could get some HIDs and LEDs. Or the OVTune, in my opinion, is the best mod you can do for your truck. I think 5100s with Dakars from headstrong is like $1000 ish depending on options.

Goos luck!

 

You'll want a lift if you're installing steel bumpers.

 

If you haven’t identified a need to modify, leave it stock. Use the money that’s burning a hole in your pocket against the loan, you’ll thank yourself later.

 

Toyota Bed Mat. TSB-062-018 Update ECU Reflash.

 

I am in the line of thinking, protection, wheels, then replace as it breaks... I am with you too. Just picked her up a month ago and ordering sliders as we speak

PS: Sliders are great at blocking rocks, but excel at reminding parking lot door-flingers that they should pay attention. My old 4Runner had a nice collection of negligent driver door paint on them... suckas!

 

^just installed my sliders yesterday and I already feel safer leaving my baby in parking lots

 

see ^ (this method is tried and true!)

 

Yea I just got a new ECU this weekend and it’s nice. I just want to see other people’s ideas and see what else is out there. Thank you all.

 

I

I lifted mine 1” and it made a huge difference in my eyes. 275/70/17 tires and new wheels!

All together it was about $2800.

$450 for lift.
$280 for install and alignment.
$1075 for tires.
$1000 for wheels.

 

I’d say wait on the lift till you can afford a decent one buy once cry once mentality. Plus you can sell your stock parts for a bit on forums afterwards.

 

Its like you're reading my Amazon wish list.

 

Can I fit 33’s stock?

 

Take your time and do research but do not wait too long, i bought it in October of 2015... before much had been seen as far as mods on this new generation. i had my truck for 2 years before i touched it... it took that long to decide on lift/wheels/tires, and by the time i decided new ones had come out and made the decision harder yet again. Just mod as you can afford to, but read a lot.

 

That’s a nice Tacoma you got there. It’s just hard to decide and find the best option.
