    So I have seen multiple posts about what people DISLIKE about there Tacoma:( Lets start a thread about what we Tacoma owners LIKE about there Tacoma stock option, your personal mod, and or both, pictures are welcomed of course. :D


    My favorite stock Item on my 2008 Tacoma with 121,000 miles on it is that the only thing that I have had to replace is stock battery a couple months ago.

    My favorite mod is my bed lined fender flares. :woot:

    The great looks! Best looking truck on the road...

    Toyota reliability. My last truck (gen 1) ran like new after 215,000 miles and I never did a thing to it except general maintenance!...

    I starts with authority! Great sound...

    It has a fantastic 4x4 system coupled with the traction control system. With 9 different 4x4 modes to choose from (off-road trim) it will go just about anywhere...

    The stoutness of it. And timing chain. I'm glad manufacturers are moving away from belts.

    Nice wheels btw, what are they?

    I love how I can rely on her every single day. I really like my steering wheel! It has radio and phone controls on it, plus the feel of the material and how it gets wider when you hold it at 10 & 2 just feels good! :)

    I like the 4 wheel drive, the 6-speed and the limited slip differential the most. I also like the bucket seats and the tilt/telescoping steering column. And I like not having a Ford Ranger anymore.

    I like the way it rides and handles both on and off road (mud and snow trails). And, I really like the looks of it.

    Do dents and scratches count?

    Build thread coming soon!
    I like that my color turns heads when it's sunny out and the truck is clean. I was filling up once and a lady who's husband was driving their Mercedes SUV pulled her sunglasses away from her eyes just to get the full effect as they went past. Just like a commercial!
    Also, I like everything else about my truck as well :D

    It's hard to pick out my favorite thing. I would have to say my top three are as follows..

    1. It's a bad ass truck. By far the best looking mid size truck.

    2. I have yet to be able to kill it. I'm very hard on my trucks. I had to junk my f250 after only owning it for 7 months. My 07 had 91k miles and never had one issue. My '11 has 71k miles and it drives like it is still brand new. I'm sure my 14 will be just as tough. If it ever gets here.

    3. Lastly, I've been loyal to Toyota since I was 18 and you just can't beat the damn things. My old man still has is 86 4x4 with 618k miles and the only thing that he's done to it besides normal maintenance is replaced the clutch and had it painted a few years ago. I guess 2 and 3 go together. ::spy::

    How the stock TRD sport Model handles on the beach. Came through with 17" wheels, sweet, ground clearance, sweet, floats across the beach when deflated to 16 psi. My LB looks sweet with color match cap. the most asked question I get is, What model Tacoma is that, it looks bigger than other models, my answer, Its a Toyota, its my custom beach buggy!
