    Hello all!! So I just bought my first Tacoma. Its a 2018 TRD Sport in the Cement grey with black leather interior with all the goodies. I live in MI but bought the truck in FL. We flew down there a couple weeks ago and drove it back. It already had the 3 inch lift, rims, tires and tonneau cover installed. My wife called the dealer we bought it from and had the Rough Country steps put on as a surprise. Since then I added MBPR dual black exhaust, black Tacoma lettering on doors, black and white flag Tacoma lettering on tailgate and removed the TRD stickers and V6 emblem. My future upgrades will be a new grill, possibly some sort of push bumper/ brush guard. New shocks (looking at Bilstein 5100's). Having TRD stitched into front head rest. Add a 10" sub and amp in place of the 8" sub. Now a question I have is performance upgrades. I am thinking about going with the Rough Country cold air intake and the Hikeit throttle tuner. What are your guys thoughts and what have you done for performance or MPG?
