I've tried to leave the cars alone, but I mod every car/truck i've ever owned. Nowadays, i'm more of an OEM+ guy.
Absolutely. I'm not cutting into it or doing anything that would void the warranty. So far I've done rock sliders, tires and ditch lights. The only big thing I want to do is lift it a bit but I'm definitely taking my time because I want a quality lift that keeps the OEM+ type approach.

I shoot with the Canon R3, R5, and R6 Mark II, along with several L-series RF lenses. I also have some EF lenses that are gradually being sold or traded to help finance the upgrades. The gear is complemented by various accessories, including filters, bags, tripods, lighting, software, and more.
I am currently shooting with the Sony A7RV.

I’ll be 56 next month, ordered my truck in Late August, got it in October. In that time span, I ordered 95% of the mods on my truck so when it came in, it went straight to the shop for the stuff I didn’t want to install. This is possibly my last truck and I was going to do it up. Normally wouldn’t go off like that, but what the heck! 😁

Nothing wrong with that brother. I think your truck looks bad ass. I'm a firm believer that if it makes you happy and you got the dough, go for it.

I'm new to modding my tacoma. My last one, a 2016 TRD off-road was my first, so I didn't really do much with it other than tires. One thing that's always been on my mind is how people pay for all these awesome mods. I know people don't like sharing their salaries for the most part so I'll stop short of saying how can everyone afford this stuff, but I would like to have people chime in on what their strategy is to pay for their mods. I'm a software engineer that makes a decent salary (I'll call it low 6 figures) but I do have a mortgage and regular monthly responsibilities. I'm sure I'm not the only one but I'm constantly fighting the urge to just charge my next crazy mod idea! lol. What does everyone else do when they get mod fever?!
That's the reason to Keep It Stock, don't spend that money

I get it. I've always kept mine stock. For some reason on this one (maybe because they made it so much easier) I've wanted to add stuff. To each their own. It's a great truck in it's stock form but also a lot of fun to mod up!
