My first new vehicle (Longest INTRO thread)

I like that red!

 

Hey everybody...I just bought my 1st new truck...a 2012 Tacoma SR5 Prerunner! I'm ready to do a few minor mods to it and looking forward to any opinions and suggestions.

 

Hey guys, been on this forum for awhile as a guest. Decided to finally join up. Looking forward to finding small mods to keep doing to my 2010 DC Sport!

 

hey everyone not sure if im doing this right but we will see what happens haha. bought my first new car and january and it was a 2011 tacoma trd sport 4X4 with the longer bed. my pops turned around and bought the same truck(different color) and we both love our trucks and both joined TW. i use this sight all the time now just to see what all the possibilities are!

 

Hey all - sold my 1995 Tacoma a while back and picked up this new silver 2011 V6 Double Cab 4x4 - Loving it. Wishing these pizza cutters would wear out a little sooner because I really want to upgrade the wheels/tires.

I have been a member since 2008 but really wanted to post since this is actually my first new vehicle. Love this site

 

better do this now.

Not a Taco owner, nor even a Toyota Owner. Just shopping, looking for a 07+ 4Runner.

Used to drive 2003 Tunda. Didn't realize the seats are so low. Will take some getting used to. The engine is smooth and super quiet. The steering is very responsive and it corners well without leaning. The ride up front feels like a magic carpet ride but the ride in the back when the truck is unloaded is very bouncy. When I hit bumps the back of the trucks sways

Any suggestions how I can firm up the ride in the back without making the truck too stiff!

 

Hello. Just want to say thanks for all of the info on the yellow wire mod. Did not know why my new 2011 had a hard time getting to my treestand that my 2008 had no problem with. Still do not understand a open diff in low. I will post other mods that i have done to my truck as soon as i figure out how to post. My truck is a 2011 base regular cab in grey. It replaced a 2008 base regular cab in silver. It has been said that i do not like change but i did get a different color. TRAC makes the 2011 so much better. Thanks

 

New to all this shit lol

My first car was a handed down used maroon Honda Civic from my sister...demasculating much? I drove it all through high school. Sure it got good good gas mileage, but what man feels ok sitting in a maroon compact?

The summer after my freshman year in college, with the help of my parents, I got ahold of a 2004 2wd silver TRD PreRunner Double Cab. I now know what it feels like to be passionate about what you drive : )

My Tacoma is perfect for me, I can throw some friends in the cab, and some bikes/snowboards/surfboards in the bed. The recipe for a fun day.

I love my Taco and I cant wait to see where I take it and it takes me!

 

ru attending at Cuesta or Cal Poly ?

Love my new 2012 Taco LB!!

 

I will be taking delivery of my ordered 2012 Tacoma 4 x 4 Reg Cab soon. Very excited and happy to be on this site as a newbie. I bought my first Toyota pickup in 1984 and that was followed by a 95 Tacoma. This will be my 3rd and I can't wait to get this new rig and start personalizing it a bit. I will want your input from time to time I am sure.

 

First time poster, long time lurker...this site has been a great source of information and entertainment since I bought my truck. Thank you to everyone that has paved they way and documented all the mods (as well as the mistakes), the threads on TW have been a crucial source for tire + rim purchase decisions, suspension info etc.

Great community, hope to be able to contribute some day

 

Hey Dan, I am looking at the same tire set up for this winter (studded duratracs), what size did you go with and did you put them on the stock wheels?

...damn the front end updates for the '12 taco look great, like what has been done with the grill + nostril on the hood!

 

This is my first truck and it was my fathers. He passed away August of 2010 and it was his little baby!

2004 Tacoma SR5 extra cab. Love it!

 

Hi all,

I've owned jeeps since 1989; 1989 Cherokee, 1990 Cherokee, 1998 Grand Cherokee and a 1998 Wrangler all purchased new with the exception of the Grand Cherokee. Just broke the mold and purchased a 2012 Auto V6 with Offroad and Tow Package plus a TRD Cat-back Exhaust in December. The only color in stock was magnetic metallic gray; not a bad color but it is an exact match to my other vehicle (09 Avalon).

 

Hi All
I keep getting this notice to post so here goes. Got a 2010 tacoma 4 dr because my 81 datsun got stolen or else i would still be driving that one (had for almost 30 yrs). This one has about everything and the other had the basics. Glad i found this site now i can find more info about my truck and the thing i can do to it. So again Hi to everyone!
