    Not much of a mod but a few cheap addons.

    Chrome Grille

    Dash trim

    weathertech floorliners

    Tonnopro-which helps keep the snow out for now

    Locking gascap

    I'm looking forward to getting a set of lift kit in the near future.

    Can't say that the floor mats is a real mod but they are nice to have.
    Once I get back into town, I'm putting in the illuminated 4/4 switch.

    Bed mat is up there in the top five. These beds scratch so dang easy!
    Tonneau cover is very nice and convenient for the family.

    Complete OME suspension with Dakar leaf pack. Clarion touch screen Sport hood Tri fold Tonneau cover
    Favorite so far is the DEI 530t auto up and down window module. Closely followed by my OME lift. Much improvement over the spacer lift that came with the truck.. Need to invest in some weathertechs next!

    Window tint - It reduces glare and prevents people from window shopping in your Tacoma.

    Hood lights - I can't believe Tacomas don't have these. If you have a problem while it's dark out, you will be cursing Toyota.

    If you're a driver over 6 feet tall, the IMMRYO mirror relocation is hands down the best thing you can buy.

    A very close runner-up is weathertechs, followed by the bestop supertop.

    Could not narrow it down to just one. Here are my top 5 - in no particular order:

    1. DTLT headers - Power and a nice tone to it. Best bang for your buck for a bolt on IMO.
    2. URD MAF calibrator - Again, more power.
    3. WeatherTech liners - Love the easy clean up. My daughter spilled a large soda and all we had to do was soak it up, wipe down the liner and good as new.
    4. Redline tuning hood struts. Makes it so much easier to get under the hood.
    5. Bilstein 5100's on all four corners with a Toytec add a leaf. Handles so much better - especially when towing.
