    I'm excited to be a part of this forum. I'm usually the guy reading 10 year old threads because I've never had a car newer than 1997 until I got my Tacoma in May 2017.

    -TRD PRO STAINLESS STEEL CAT BACK EXHAUST
    -PREDATOR TUBE STEPS
    -TREX/ZROADZ LIGHT BAR GRILLE

    I have only changed the grille on it since I've owned it.

    I purchased an air horn kit I have yet to install.

    Before Summer 2018, I plan to lift the truck about 3" and add some 18" Fuel Assault wheels along with some nice tires. I'm not sure what size tires yet.

    I also want to add a nice bed rack with a roof top tent before summer 2018.

    I'll probably install ditch lights and I am considering adding custom front and rear bumper.

    So far I love the truck. The only thing that has went wrong so far is the blind spot monitoring "is not available" I haven't brought the truck in yet to get that fixed because it doesn' bother me.
