    minor, TRD skid plate, front recovery points, Regken mud flaps, rear diff breather, AC drain pipe extended. Upgraded sound with active sub woofer, tonneau cover, CB radio.
    Two little and cheap improvements making me really happy in daily driving:
    Carabiner to hold my jobsite backpack with my essentials, so it not rolling in the box when braking or turning;
    Neoprene sleeves for bottles in the holders (doors), so no rattling sound because of vibrations caused by road and loud music.
    Happy!IMG_20210901_161315.jpg IMG_20210827_184013.jpg IMG_20210901_161321.jpg

    No association with this company, and not sure if newer 3rd gen’s come standard with similar, but for my 2016 these small items helped me organize my center console A LOT. I would say must have for sure.

    Oh, and I do have some affiliation with Redline since they used my truck to develop their 3rd gen kit, I should probably also say their hood struts are the bomb ;) seriously though, wtf did my 2009 Camry have hood struts but my 2016 more expensive Tacoma did not? Thanks, Redline, for fixing that!

    Just got in-channel window visors because of this thread.

    As far as daily life enhancements, this adapter makes Apple CarPlay wireless: https://cplay2air.com/
    Now I never have to take my phone out of my pocket.

    If you're taller, the driver and front passenger seat spacers to change the seat angle is a game changer. Definitely provides more comfort over stock and is stupid easy to install.

    I really miss keyless entry and if I had time would do the install myself but may look into dealer install (ouch). We'll see...

    CBI mount with a Warm 9.5 xps. I really like how CBI stuff mounts to the front end with support brackets that go back and under the frame rails.

    It sounds ridiculous but:

    my SCOSCHE magnetic phone mount. It’s the first thing I do after starting the engine . . . Put the phone up on the dash

    Where you plan to install this I like the idea. It lack a spot other than the bed to install?
    I like this one that hole in the tray is great for running a cord from the charger in the bottom into that tray I use mine to charge a USB chargeable flashlight so it’s always charged.

    Not really an improvement to the truck itself but this goofy little door jam step has made securing the kayaks 10x easier.

    i never have. i'd like to claim that I know the energy loss from wireless charging is too great, and that I'm too dedicated to the environment to use such a wasteful application of technology... but really i like the lifeproof magnet mounts and I'm too invested to change. they appear to prevent wireless charging, and i typically use 1-3 phones at all times to play Pokemon Go. So USB charging is more useful anyway
