    I find myself staring at my truck all day long. If I'm not outside looking at it, im looking at the photos I've taken of it....

    I find myself spending too much time on this forum reading and saturating myself with the ideas and stories....

    Is this drug going to wear off?

    Of course, I was just reading away and noticed many other who have used the term "tacomaholic".

    I thought I was being original, apparently I'm not the first and won't be the last. This is no joke, the disease really exists....

    Simon, you are not alone, although I do log out when in the world. We are all here to help you through this, I see by your pics you are well into the addiction already, may I suggest bumpers to make your sickness even sicker

    this thread is pretty funny, and no it will not go away. once you own one you will not want to mess with any other truck.

    My obsession with the taco has spread to the wiffle, i was debagging the taco yesterday and she started helping me remove all the sticky gunk, she may not know it just yet but the bug has bit her too haha.

    Yes, front and rear bumpers are in the future for sure. Maybe some undercarriage protection first, Kayzkin leather custom seats, tire carrier... the list is endless.

    Thanks everyone. Its almost too nice. I've always had 4runners, sticking with 01-02 models. That gave me enough peace of mind to go wheeling and maybe get a scratch on it. This one cost me 3x what I've paid for my 4runners...not sure if Im ready for those scratches.... Here's what I sold before I bought my taco.

    No. It is a disease. I too spend my waking hours looking, modding and thinking about my truck. It's more of a friend than a disease though. It's like have a terrible friend that always borrows your money but never pays you back. Just becomes a better friend. Lol
