    I like it stock for the most part and it's a daily driver with pretty regular wheeling in spring summer, so....

    Leafs that smile and not frown

    Sliders

    Practical cup holders... I have a 98 with bucket seats (finally accomplished this)

    While we are at it, im gunna say nice bumpers, big rims and tires, lift kit.
    speaking of bumpers...
    Ive been looking for a bull bar for my 1995 tacoma 4x4, and ive noticed most of the bull bars i find are something like 96-00 or 00-04 or something like that. Does anyone know if a bull bar meant for a 96 will work as well? Will a bull bar for 90-95 4runners work? Or does anyone know where i can find a bull bar for a 95?

    Let me show you what i have done with my little taco

    For me only ... I did this "whimpy stuff" in this order:

    (1) Weather Techs .. (front & rear)
    (2) Bed Mat
    (3) Visors .. (Weather Tech Visors - all windows)
    .
    (4) Wet Okles .. (front & rear)

    (5) Tail gate top reinforcement ... 4"x5" aluminum angle bolted to tailgate top edge.

    (6) I would have a S/C if the truck budget was unlimited.
