    Finally got some photos of my new 2014 Tacoma TRD Sport - Spruce Mica. Not many of them around town, and very happy with the color so far. Loving the truck, considering I've never owned one before (upgraded from a CRV with 220k).

    Second photo is the reason you should measure your garage..that was a close call, and happy we have the backup camera

    Heeeey Nice Truck and I like the color. Looks like you've got plenty of room;)...I've got a 2013 and measured my garage before I bought it. I've got about 8 inches to spare.

    ya I'm maybe 3", with virtually no room at the back end. Was pretty stressful when we brought it home from the dealer, and my girlfriend gets out and says 'ya...it's not even close to fitting'.

    *phew*

    Canopy on order, then work on the other bits!

    That garage does look a little tight. One thing you can do to help park is first get your truck parked/aligned perfectly inside the garage. Then hang a string from the ceiling with a yarn ball or tassels at the end of it, so that the ball of yarn just touches the middle of your windshield. Then when you pull into your garage just go till you touch the string hanging, and you'll be parked perfectly every time without even thinking about it.

    ya, only thing is once i get a canopy that won't be super helpful as i'll be backing in. Shouldn't be an issue as i'm getting the backup camera down pat for how far i need to go. Won't be adding a light bar, that's for sure! LED bar on the inside of the grill is what im planning now

    Nice! I just picked mine up on Saturday! First time owner as well, traded an 09 civic... couldnt be happier. Mine was only off the truck for a few hours before my signature was on it, waited for months for a spruce mica to show up. Congrats on the new truck!
