New Tacoma Owner!

Hey everyone.

I am new here. Been lurking for a while. I just graduated from Purdue in May and moved back home for work. Saved up enough for the down payment on a used Tacoma. I waited until the one that I wanted showed up and bought it, though it wasn't real close. It is a 2007 with 99k miles on it, which is a little high but if it is anything like my old 4Runner it will be fine. The Tacoma I picked out has the 4.0 V6, 6 spd., 4X4, and the TRD package with the tow package. This was all important to me. My mom has a basic 2.7 Tacoma with 2wd that leaves a bit to be desired for me. I will be using this truck for dirt biking and have needed to get to trails in the past. The truck is already lifted in the front with blocks but I'll be putting some 5100's on it soon to improve the ride. It has some brand new BFGoodrich T/A 275 tires on it. Really a great truck. The temp and compass display were broken but I didn't notice when I bought it. Didn't know it had that. So I just resoldered it myself with the fix I found on here. Works great now.

Got in on the group buy for Wet Okoles so looking forward to that. Purchased some weathertech floor liners that will be in tomorrow. Next on the list is the B.A.M.F. sliders that are bolt on. Then while waiting for those I'll throw in some 5100's and probably do both of those mods at the same time. Window tinting is in there somewhere, but we will see. Really excited to be here, sorry about the long post.

Welcome to TW!

 

Nice rig!

Those are 275/70/17? How are they running?

 

Thanks guys. Happy to be here.

The tires are great. I like them quite a bit. The previous owner cut the tread, sipping I believe it is called. A few of the lugs have become distorted I suppose. But they are not overly loud, not any more than the engine for sure. No rubbing to speak of. But it does have a lift. The mud flaps have not been cut and I won't cut them. So great.

I love the color. And the truck for that matter. The floor liners came in and are great.
