    Out of all the mods you have done what is the best one you have or your favorite?

    Mine, I would have to say the Toyota tool box or the Grille with the 1979 Toyota truck emblem. Of course I am digging the arm rest also. See I am confused so what mods do you think everyone else should add also.:confused:

    Thanks man, yeah I wanted to do something a little unique with it. That emblem is off of the first Toyota we ever had. Its an old puke green truck my dad bought for the farm when I was really young and after he sold it the kid wrecked it and then ask him if he wanted it back, so we took it and its been sitting in the weeds for all this time. So I had my dad pull the emblem off and send it out. Its kinda cool that a little piece of that truck is on the one I have now.

    Best future mod? It's going to by a Bakflip cover, blacked out everything (emblems, wheels, headlamps, tail lights), bed extender. The list goes on. :D


    I can't pick the "best" one because nothing is done yet. :(

    I took all mine off so that I could paint them black. I kinda like the clean look though. It is all up to you. I am going to but them all back on when I finish painting but until then my truck is clean.

    I'm all for just blacking everything out and sticking it all back on!


    I got my 3M adhesive tape yesterday, so I should have my badges done this weekend! :D

    My best, most effective mod has been the 3 inch lift. I love everyday I'm in it. The other mods are nice, but this one make the most in looks, performance, and satisfaction.

    i think the mod that made the biggest difference on my truck and was the best bang for your buck was the blacked out headlight mod. it just makes such a huge statement, makes the truck look super mean
