    What's up TW,

    I traded my 2013 DCLB TRD Sport Pre Runner for a spanking new 2015 DCSB TRD Off Road. The dealer gave me an offer I couldn't refuse.

    I have been wanting a 4x4 ever since getting stuck in a mud hole one week after I bought the 13 Taco, and to top it off I did not have the breather mod. Stupid me. I wont be doing that again. What threw me over the edge for an Off Road model was the flame that poor pre runners get here in TW .

    I went from a Nautical Blue to a white (name?). The first thing I did to it was put my old weathertech mats and order a bed mat (too bad the old one didnt fit, but I'm selling it). Thinking about the same access literider tonneau cover for "Hunter". Yes I named it , the wife's subaru hatch is "Gunner".

    To be honest, I need to learn all the 4x4 controls ( a lot more buttons than before). I also need to do the breather mod that I was too lazy to do for two years on the pre runner. Will the dealership bitch about the breather mod when I take it for the service the first two years?

    Here is the truck:

    Gotta find a pic of the pre runner. Trying to find the one where I got stuck.

    Nice truck.

    You couldn't just trim the bed mat?

    I was going to but I figured I can make most of my money on the long bed mat and I paid less for the new one because of a 20% discount I got. So pretty much I can break even and will fit and look better.

    Nice choice of truck! Did you ask the dealer for the hood swap from a Sport?

    Nvmd, saw the hood up close in the White Tacoma thread...not the Sport skewp hood.

    No. I guess it's a stick on. I had no idea until someone pointed that out.
