    Too much to name for this little space
    The goal is to grow this list for awhile then start adding additional info for each. Most included hyperlinks are merely EXAMPLES, are not meant to be affiliated with any brand, and are parts to get a VISUAL, not instructions. Pricing is just an ESTIMATE and does not include labor. This post is so people can just get an idea to begin their own research.

    It's in no particular order but hopefully it has the majority of things we can do to these trucks. This also does not take into account extreme modification and creativity, such as bobbing a bed or chopping half the frame for better angles.

    I'm classifying modifications as something that requires cutting or adding material to accept something. I'm classifying an accessory as something that is either a take out and swap or a straight-up bolt on/in (or very near to). There will be gray areas between mods and accessories but a good way to think of it is whether it is easy to go back to stock or not.

    Please note these are not based off of mechanic skill level or time to accomplish, just based on material being replaced.

    Look on the bright side: we still only spend half of what Raptors and TRX owners spend

    Oh I've seen it lol I'm not gonna touch that with a 10 ft pole. I'd classify Meso's truck as "extreme modification" and I just made sure to cover everything he offers on his site

    Not after you spend the mod money to add the missing power and long travel suspension. I'm going to miss the size of my Tacoma every day probably but the smart money is on not modding the truck or buying something already built to do it.

    Well that's a given.. just like it's smarter to not spend money on alcohol, ice cream, expensive clothes, gaming consoles, or even multiple guns but it's the fun in modifying of making an image from your head into a reality. Of making a stock, full-size vehicle into a full-size toy truck. I'll take a fully modified Tacoma over a stock Raptor or TRX all day long
