Well.....I sold my 07 Tundra and bought an 09 Tacoma TRD. I got rid of the things I towed so getting the Tacoma made sense. I just wanted to pop in here to see what you guys were doing to yours to make it better. Suggestions? Tips?
TIA!!

welcome !
all kinds of free/cheap mods you can do to make it the way you like !
i removed the bed bolts ( one at a time) and put a d ring on therm.
cost $5 for heavy duty d rings and makes securing cargo a snap !
need to get a "pop n lock" or do a hose clamp mod on the tailgate or someone will borrow your tailgate and you can find it on crags list ;-(
read the manual and see how easy it is to remove the tailgate !
let me know and i can send you a few links for some mods"
if 4 x4 you can do the diff breather mod so no water gets in !

Hey thanks! I didn't know about the tail gate mod. Whats the deal on that? How to?
What about cold air intakes? Exhaust mods? Anything worth while?
Thanks again!!

CAI makes a "cool noise" no performance gain
exhaust mods well will make it "sound good" but cost a fair amount of $$ to make any more horsepower then small amount
okl here is a list of cheap or free mods
http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/technical-chat/4838-cheap-free-mods.html
look at #64 of mods
either that or a "pop n lock" i have both
pop N lock is a tailgate lock, some say it rust up inside in east coast winters, i have one and no trouble but live in a warmer place and no salt on our roads
P n L is about $45, hose clamp is cheap
if they really want your tailgate it won't stop them, but haven't seen a post of one being taken if they have them
any ? just type ;-D
