Wow, that's a great website. That's exactly the type of stuff I'm looking for. I will be joining TacomaWorld.com too. :)

I'm thinking I'll get some Wet Okoles, those Clazzios are just way too expensive. I was looking at tacotunes as well. I should probably wait and actually get my truck, before looking at all these accessories. :lol:

I have to work in the morning, I'll be up all night looking at parts/accessories if I don't watch it. It's really great to have your input though, and I'm sure there's others here too that have Tacomas. I'm really glad I bought one. :cheers:

And yeah, I already want some 33"s.
 
which mudflaps did you get the regular length or short length? also what lift do you have on your truck. I want to get Rokblokz but dont want it looking too long like the oems ones.

I had the regular ones, but probably should've had the short ones. I had to take the fronts off with the lift since they rub over rough terrain.

The lift was a 3" kit built by a local shop out of off the shelf parts: https://4x4.fatbobsgarage.com/toyot...orce-suspension-package-2005-2018-p33238.aspx

Basically Bilstein 5100s with coils up front and BDS/Fox shocks with add a leaf in the rear. In total it was 3 inches of lift. I also put on Light Racing control arms to get the alignment back in order. It cleared 33s with only some minor trimming. I did a cab mount chop and beat back the punch weld, but probably didn't need to.

I don't have the truck anymore, but can probably still answer any other questions you might have.
 
So, 11 years after getting my last Tacoma, I have a truck again! It's a 2023 TRD Off Road double cab long bed with leather, heated seats, moonroof, and pretty much every other option except for the LED headlights. I didn't really want a white truck, but Ice Cap looks good and doesn't have the paint flaking issue that Summit White had. So while @TB truck is Vader, mine is a Stormtrooper.

I was thiiiiiiiiis close to getting a white Taco.

Tonneau cover next so you don't fill the box with eleventy feet of snow?
 
I hated the Rubitreks I had since they didn't work for crap in the sand and all the trails around here are nothing but sand. So I got a set of BFG KO3's and went up slightly in size from 265/70/16 to 265/75/16 which are an inch bigger. Not really noticeable, but the biggest tire that I could put on there without rubbing. And, as always, white letter gang!

My son said he wanted to work on my truck which meant I could justify to my wife to spend a bunch of money on stuff. My son helped with all of this stuff too and he was super into it. Guess that means I need a project car.

I got black inserts for the TACOMA on the tailgate along with LED license plate lights. I also took the V6 badge off:

Up front I added Diode Dynamic SS3 fog lights (they're one of the few that are legitimately street legal) and an AVS bug deflector:

Inside, I added Desert Does It seat jackers because the Tacoma seats are horribly uncomfortable. It also came with a molle panel that I'm going to mount my rescue hammer and a flashlight to:

Swapped the map lights of LEDs and added a sunglass holder since the truck doesn't have one:

Rear LED dome light too:

Finally, got my dash cam mounted with a DongerTech kit:
