    Other than my predator step bars and the tailgate lock, just about everything that's on my truck is because I learned about it here. My bank account hates this place.

    Seat jackers. I didn’t pony up for the DDI ones, but I got the $30 generic ones from AliExpress and man they make a huge difference. Honestly, they’re well made too. Can’t complain for $30.

    This will quickly just become a list of mods done by everyone whether they "needed" them or not or if they heard about them on TW or not.

    I mean seriously, dude never heard of mudflaps, vent visors, or door sill protectors before joining TW...gimme a break.

    should make a thread 'things you didn't know you needed until Amazon'. i found the gas cap holder there first, laughed at the stupidity, then saw it here, laughed some more, then used the truck for a while, got irritated at the gas cap bumping my freshly detailed truck, then went back to amazon to get one.

    everything else i'm finding was pre-existing ideas that the ample aftermarket support of the taco just means i don't need to fabricate 100% of every piece by hand.

    In his defense I didn’t know about door sill protectors till like 2015? Before I bought my truck.
    All the trucks/cars I had before, had them already as plastic
