I recently got a 24 Tacoma TRD Sport and absolutely love the truck. I have added side steps, fender flares & some decals as well as plastic painting the front Toyota emblem & the fake bolts on the fender flares. I just wanted to share these incase anyone is considering buying any of these parts for theirs, they can see how they came out on mine.
Links will be included with the pictures & I apologize for the bugs. I keep cleaning them off but its that time of year so every time I get on the highway the truck gets covered.
Front & back pictures of the truck
Rough Country - Pocket Fender Flares (The red fake bolts were painted with VHT Plastic Automotive Paint from AutoZone)
OTHOWE2024 Tacoma Drop Step Style, 3in At time of posting Amazon is out of stock, but they feel very sturdy and I like the look.
Front accessories & comparison of the red lines with & without
Toyota logo is stock, popped it off (3 easy clips, you can reach in and pop it off without any tools) painted with VHT Plastic Automotive Paint from AutoZone
Metal TRD Badge Emblem from Etsy, was a bit of a pain to find a good spot to put it, as well it was not fun to screw on through the grille
Tufskinz Grille side line accent trim in "*OE Color - Matte TRD Red"
Back decals, my favorite is the red Toyota handle decal
Tufskinz Tailgate Letter Inserts in "Matte Black"
Tufskinz Tailgate Handle Letter Inserts in "*OE Color - Matte TRD Red"
Tufskinz Red Rail Tailgate Letter Overlays in "*OE Color - Matte TRD Red"
USMC Medallion - 2.25 Inches
Gas cover decal that I liked from Etsy seller FlatSixGraphics but as of posting this item is not available from their shop. The decal feels high quality, it says "Taco Sauce Only" in Japanese Katakana
Interior doors, Tacoma label and driver side sill Toyota label
[On driver side] Etsy Seller StickerFactoryPR - Toyota Front Door Sill in "RED"
[On passenger side] Tufskinz Tacoma Glovebox Letter Overlays in "*OE Color - Matte TRD Red"
Tufskinz Door Handle Inserts in "*OE Color - Matte TRD Red"
Tufskinz Side Door Armrest Lower Line Accents in "*OE Color - Matte TRD Red"
These do not fit all the way down the line, as you can see in the pictures they're about an inch short. It is not too noticeable and i'm sure none of my passengers have noticed... but I know it's there.

All in all, I love my 24 Tacoma. I do wish the side door armrest accents fit correctly, but other than that all of the other accessories have been fantastic so far.
The fender flares paperwork says they're a 2 hour job, but it took me more like 6. I did not have any experience putting fender flares on in the past and did not have help so I'm sure that's why, but if you buy them prepare to spend a while getting them on there. Hardest part in my opinion was getting the rubber lining to cooperate, I found using tooth picks to straighten it before applying the final tightening was pretty good.
I think next I'm going to look into adding red overlays to the exterior door Tacoma emblems. Let me know what you think about my Tacoma so far & if you have any suggestions for what to do next!
