    Hello, to start off I am a complete noob when it comes to vehicles and engines. But Im just wondering if theres any sort of mods/upgrades I could throw on my 2007 Tacoma, its only a 4 cylinder and manual transmission. But besides just getting a bigger engine, or different truck, or supercharger. Is there anything that can be done thats worth it?

    Not really.

    Performance mods are very expensive and relatively useless unless you actually want to race.
    For a daily driver all they do is suck up money and lose you gas mileage.

    Plus with a 4cyl you really aren’t going to be able to increas power without a lot of money.

    No point.

    Mod your vehicle in more practical ways to make it look cool and be more functional.

    With the 4cyl you won’t ever get any worthwhile performance..you may not be quick but you could look awesome with a little lift an some bigger tires:thumbsup:

    You sir, are too kind :fistbump:

    It definitely surprised me several times at Jambo! a locked 2wd will get you a lot further than you'd expect. Always good to have a 4wd buddy handy though to tow you out whenever you cant make it up the muddy hills.. :anonymous:

    Searching on google some of the first things that come up are a cold air intake, and a throttle body spacer, would either of these be useful for my Tacoma?
