A Work in Progress

ya I avoid Seattle at all costs. I work in Renton, that's city enough for me. I like my quiet little town.

 

YAY!!! More Tacoma babies!! Is it your first??

 

Yep!

 

Congrats! So exciting!

 

Yeah it's pretty exciting, heard the heartbeat for the first time about 2 weeks ago - THAT was pretty crazy! Looking forward to the next ultrasound where it looks like a baby, I think February or March for that, we're due July 25.

Congrats again to you as well.

 

Now that i look at your truck more. I for sure saw you driving the same direction as me on hwy 2 between monroe and woodinville a while back. You dont forget a black and pink Tacoma. Pretty sure we were kinda leap frogging each other on the hwy. Does that sound like you?

 

Haha definitely sounds like something I would do! I'm the only black an pink one that I know of

 

haha thats funny. nice truck, look forward to seeing more mods!

 

Thanks!! I'll keep an eye out for ya. Mods are slow coming lately. But still in the works!

 

Just bought a taco in seattle and am lookin for spots to go take it off road, where did you go here?

 

This is Douglas Creek in Eastern Wa. My friend and I take it to get to Wenatchee sometimes when we have extra time. Got some fun little trails! Not a big area though. We usually get through it in a couple hours.

 

Good to know thanks. I'll check out the stuff over there when everything isnt so frozen

 

Nice build and from the Great NW! Not gonna lie not a fan of pink but the yota raptor letters look sicc! Is your canopy a leer? Congrats on the baby and good luck! Subd

 

Thanks!! Yes its a leer, I love the pink... but sadly starting this/next weekend its going to start coming off. Time to trade her in Having a toddler and a new baby on the way its just not big enough. Gonna be a sad sad day.

 

In my experience, a SUV will serve better for stroller and associated child care conveniences . This is only for 2-3 years.

As far as room to put rear facing car seat and toddler seat, there is plenty of room. There is L.A.T.C.H. system for all Tacomas 2003 and newer.

Reading back a few pages, we all know that the plate bumper serves well in protecting.

Good luck either way.

 

Thanks! We are able to fit both carseats (rear facing and front facing) in my truck just fine. BUT it leaves very little room for anything else besides a diaper bag and a few other things. And living in Washington, as you may know, putting a stroller in the bed of a truck is a rare occurrence due to rain. And Ive found it more convenient to leave my canopy off most the time. I would love to keep it and cram everyone in, but its just not going to fit comfortably. Still going to stay with trucks though, with my lifestyle an SUV wouldn't cut it. Too much hauling hay/dirtbikes/dogs/etc... I had a 4runner once and it was great except when it came to needing a trailer for everything.

 

I upgraded to a 14' CM Tundra from my 12' Taco DCLB. I got 2 kids 3 and 5. plenty of room for them. we also have a 10' 4Runner which also works well. but nothing beats the room in the back of the Tundra. Kids can't kick the back of my seat!!!!!!!! Just got all the goodies put on last weekend!

 

Nice! Yeah I'll be moving out of the Toyota family :/ Probably going to end up with a chevy. Not completely sure yet. Will definitely be getting a wheeler project though, we already have plans on what we want gotta have something to play with. Going to be looking for a 1st gen 4runner.

 

There's a nice 88 on CL for 2k...

 

Nice! Not looking yet, wanna get everything settled with the new truck first. Then we will see what we can find from there!
