    Why would you ever want to sale it??? I plan on modding mine to the extreme and running it into the ground. It's a Tacoma so it's going to take a while.

    Who plans on selling their truck? Only way mine is leaving is if some idiot crashes into me and I get it replaced with insurance, then I start the modding all over again.
    Stock is boring, modding makes it yours.

    Heavy mods will ensure you won't ever be wealthy. Waste of money.

    I drive mine every day, mostly country paved roads and highways...PA Winters...drive long trips on highways...so I've avoided heavy suspension modifications, lifts, or off road tires so far....

    But K&N Filter, ARE fiberglass cap, Flowmaster American Thunder Stainless exhaust, and running boards make one smooth lookin' and soundin' street cruisin' Taco...4 Door Long Bed with TRD Sport is a sleak look...but that's my opinion...

    Already did the tonneau and floor boards and will be updating the wheels/tires and put the stock ones in the shed until winter comes each year and leave them on when I sell it.

    I'm keeping mine close to stock until payed off. I'll get Bilstein's for the slight front lift to level it, wheels and tires, and possibly an avid light bar. Once it's paid off, I'll either keep it and go crazy with mods, or trade in for a 4wd Tacoma. Only other I thought about was a 4wd reg cab 4cyl, so after mine's paid off, I'll decide to keep mine and mod or trade in for the other.
