Good day my people. Just picked up a '23 Tacoma TRD Offroad and I'll be building it up to support my FE adventures around the country. Please share some ideas or modifications you'd reccomend.

Uncle T should throw an oleo-pneumatic suspension from Nimbus on the Taco. Indestructible and rides like Caddy floating on the clouds.
uncle T! whats the update on your Taco build??
check these racks out, I have one on my Taco, its pretty sick. I just mounted a Roam hard case to it....

Sweet rig, T congrats! Looks like a nice clean canvas to start to personalize. Love me a well-done Tacoma.

Once you get the main things out of the way; tires/suspension, any mechanical upgrades, etc - look to storage. Rack systems, fuel/water cans from Rotopax are solid. Want a cost effective way to haul a lot of gear that is easy to add on and take off?...look into Trasharoos Bags. They affix to tailgate, spare rear tire if you have it set up that way, or it can be thrown in the bed. I attach it to my tailgate along with a rear rack system and it holds my waders (it has draining holes), decoys it can double as a backpack in a pinch, blind bag, sleeping bag, firewood, etc. It expands and comes in various color options. I have stuffed a LOT of gear in the bag. It can easily be removed and attached. It is somewhat waterproof. Mine has two internal zippered pockets for small items and an outside pocket. It is very versatile. Under $70 bucks.
Unfortunately Pete not everything comes as fast as you do. Still waiting on my Rear suspension.
Here's what I'm going to throw on for UCA's from Dirt King. Quick Tip Pete, tighten the bolts so you dont throw a tire or something rediculous.

Not sure what a Nimbus is unless we're talking about Pete again. I have the new Bilstein 8100 series for the 4 corners.
This is what I'm talking about, useful information. Thank you @huntbirdz
Looking at this from BP Fabricating if anyone has experience or thoughts they'd like to share. Probably carry my tow strap and misc softer gear.

Bilstein for shocks check. But do yourself a favor and get the Deaver Stage 2 leaf packs. These trucks need it.

If you got some welding skills build a pull out drawer with heavy duty drawer slides. Helps loading and unloading plus doesnt take up bed space like drawer pullouts.

Install an onboard air compressor for tire airing up.

And of course the most important hood ornament
Leaf pack is on the short list, I'm leaning towards a new leaf pack instead of the add a leafs. I'de herd good things on Deaver and ICON RXTs. How much weight do you typically have in the back?
Shit, where do you live? thats a lot cleaner than the decked one I saw.
