    Hi guys,

    After months of shopping debating, I finally picked up a new 2019 TRD Off-Road. I have three really good buddies who also them (cement, quicksand and white) and they ended up talking me into buying one. I traded in my MK6 GTI, which was awesome but just not really practical for my business and the things I do on a daily basis. Going from my past "stancy" vehicles to this is a huge change, but I'm looking forward to all the miles ahead in my Tacoma.

    Already picked up a TRD grille, Meso key fob, yellow lamin-x for the fogs and the center console organizer so I'm off to a great start. If you guys have any other suggestions on "must have mods" let me know!

    I also had a couple "stancy" cars previously:

    i like your girl... not even going to be candid about it.

    As for your truck, must have mods... no clue I just watch people around here go full retard on their mods. Its fun. They don't know when to stop.

    Outside of your Laminex foglight overlays, I'd suggest a set of LED or HID headlight bulbs. Helps to modernize the truck a bit over the yellow halogens.

    Congrats bud and welcome, you'll fit in here nicely, I had a sneaky suspicion alot of tuner guys were moving into Tacomas, seen alot of people that don't really need a truck make the jump from WRX, GTI, M3, etc. Welcome.
