You'll never meet a Toyota Tacoma owner who doesn't absolutely love their truck. And it is perfect just the way it is. But if you do want a little more sparkle and shine, we are, as always, here with a few modifications available to you and your Tacoma, with the help of Toyota Sales Manager and Tacoma owner Jeff Hennen. #TacomaTough Part 1: Hood Protector and LED DayTime Running Lights With the ClearCoat paint protection available on all Toyotas these days, you may think getting a hood protector is a little over the top. But the hood protector does so much more for your Tacoma, protecting your hood from excessive road wear like small rocks, and your windshield from potential scratches or breakage from road debris and bugs. LED lights are extremely bright for low-light situations like cloudy days, and save you battery power. #TacomaTough Part 2: Lifts, Levels, Tires, & Wheels For a higher or more aggressive appearance, the Tacoma is widely customizable with a variety of lift and leveling kits, as well as a variety of wheels and tires to choose from, including mud tires and customized wheels. #TacomaTough Part 3: Running Boards You can also step it up to your lifted Tacoma with the help of customizable Running Boards, available with perfect fit to your Tacoma year and trim to make stepping into your higher presence vehicle a little easier. Chrome can add some flash as well to polish a little more finish on your beauty of a small truck with a big personality. #TacomaTough Part 4: Camper Shells For more protection and containment of your cargo, there are plenty of options for a Camper Shell to cover the truck bed of your Tacoma. This one, from LEED, is insulated, with a sliding window to connect to your cab. This particular camper shell is also lockable to secure your Tacoma's cargo. #TacomaTough Part 5: Bed Liners and Mats Being a Taco owner himself, Jeff Hennen knows how frustrating it can be when your cargo slides around in the truck bed. This is why he's customized his truck with the help of a Bed Liner and Weather Mat, not only securing his cargo, but also protecting his knees when he climbs into the bed to retrieve it. The Weather Mat's rubberized texture also assists in these points, and the water-resistant structure makes it easy to clean in the case of spills.
