    The fun has just begun.
    Hey everyone. My name is Steve and I am one of the newest members. I currently don't own a Tacoma. I am looking at buying one when I get home from Deployment. I joined so I could get a basic idea of what mods I could accomplish and what look I am going for. Hope to get some good info from everyone and possibly start some monthly meets in the Va/NC area.

    P.S. I was a previous Ranger owner. So I am looking forward to some good meets and good mods.

    IF you plan on going off roading I would suggest white cause of pin striping. IF you get the Trd Off road version includes a rear locker which might come in handy. But if you get the sport, the sports come with strong rear axle then the Off road. Which you could stick a aftermarket locker in, that is what i did.

    I won't do much off roading as it will be my DD. I may go out a little bit but nothing crazy.

    Then i would get the Off road version even though your opinion is going to change once you go off roading.
