    I never officially took the time to say hello and introduce myself on here so I just wanted to throw up a few pics and some information.

    I've wanted a Tacoma for about 5 years now...so for my 28th birthday this year I treated myself. I purchased a 2012 Tacoma 4cyl 4x4 and couldn't be happier. I'm looking forward to upgrading it over time and definitely keeping it around as long as possible.

    Here are a few photos of the new wheels.

    well the gas mileage is definitely better than the power. I get about 20 doing stop and go where I live. But I didn't buy this vehicle to be blazing around town or pulling any serious equipment so for me the power is plenty. Matter-of-fact, it's a blast to drive...and I'm looking forward to driving to work in the next 30 mins :cool:

    Just fueled up today, 19.6mpg running around town. I do a good amount of towing jetskis as well, so IMO that's pretty good.

    New tires on the way, 265 75 16 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Excited to see the new look, I hope I can see a considerable difference without any issues of rubbing...but only time will tell I suppose. After all my research on this forum I think I should be in good shape and look forward to hopefully selling my stock dunlops to purchase a matching spare.
