Proud new owner

Greetings All:

This past Friday I became a pround new owner of a 2008 DC LB 4X4 Sport in Super White. I have been reading these threads for a while and they have been very helpfull.

I do have a few requests for feedback... I am looking for Nerf Bars and a Tonneau and would like people to give their opinion.

I didn't want the factory nerf bars because they sit too tight to the cab

 

I also just got a new 08 tacoma. Mine is the access cab. I'm also looking for some nerf bars. I've been looking around and from experience Westin makes a good nerf bar although they are pricey. I found some on e-bay that looked nice called side tube steps but I think they are also relatively close to the cab as well. Let me know what you find. I still have not bought any. Thanks

 

Can't help you yet (I haven't gotten either yet.), but I wanted to welcome you to TW. We are glad to have you here.

 

i dont plan on putting anything on my truck that will give me less ground clearance so i havnt even looked at nerf bars. You're truck looks good though, are you gonna go with chrome or black nerf bars? BTW, welcome to TW!

 

I haven't decided if I want black or a brushed stainless. I have done so much chrome on my past trucks that I am tired of it. I had black trucks in the past.

Thanks for the welcome note

 

I like black accessories on a white truck, i like the contrast. although most people will tell you to go with chrome

 

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

 

That is one pretty doggie. the truck looks good to.

 

Nice truck. Is that an Akita?

 

Thanks... yes it's an Akita. She's about 115lbs now. Best dog I've ever had.

 

Nice truck! And I love Akitas....they are amazing!

 

I found a beautiful black and white Akita at the humane society some years back. I took her home for my mom, who's dog had passed away. She is a great dog. Called her bear, cause she has the face of one.

 

did you get a good deal or apr on the truck?
was there any 2007 left over?
thanks!

 

MSRP was $31,063 and I got it for $28,200+tax/title/lic. I thought it was a good enough price for being an '08

 

wow the truck went to $31,000???
i see sticket price was like $30,200 at the most... they love jacking up the price....
I saw a 07 4 dr, 4x4 with off-rd edition asking $30,200, I dont know should i go for it... I'll probably be a jerk and go like asking for $24000!!HAHA

they still have like tons of 07 leftover but the lower models!

maybe I'm going to e-mail them about it and get a qoute and go from there.
thanks

 

The long bed adds some $ to the price

 

tell them 26k firm but dont pay over 27k. I got a similar set up for 26.5k

 

i guess you have a 07 too?

the only missing on the truck is the AUX jack!! I want to use my ipod!

I know I want a truck just so i have when I need to move stuff and all
but i test drover the 08 accord!! EX-L with v6!!! MAN it was da BOMB!!
It cames with AUX jack!! And it was F-ing quick

but anyway, I'll buy the truck for $25,500 if they throw in a bed extender and a Tonneau top!! hehe

 

I have an Extang Trifecta tonneau cover that I've been happy with.

I'm still shopping for nerf bars myself.

 

I doubt you'll get that but you never know until you try.....
