    Greetings fellow Tacoma enthusiasts! I have been contemplating getting rid of my VW for a Taco for a while and on Thursday after work I pulled the trigger on brand new 2011 TRD doublecab. Has all the bells and whistles and the best part- only had 5 miles!!! I will keep you all posted as I transform my new beast. . .I'm thinking 3inches, bigger tires, black wheels. And best of all, Toyota offers a factory installed supercharger!!!! How badass is that? Just had my first child, a son named Brecken, and so my wife will be rolling in the Taco for a while due to the doublecab being slightly more child seat friendly than our other vehicle, 07 FJ. Either way, now I have an FJ and a brand new Taco 4x4. . .I have my dream vehilcles. Now to the mods!

    Maybe, I am all over dport. . .but I just got my Taco 3 days ago. I am originally from Cedar Rapids, 90 miles west. . .I've only been here a couple years. Maybe you know of some good mud-holes close by to get my tires dirty in? If I was back in CR, I'd just take it to my Dad's farm and tear ass through the fields, but around here I just know the city and nothin outside.
