    Hello everyone. I am new to the forum. I just purchased a 06 tacoma off a dealer lot. took me 4 months of looking to find exactly what I wanted. Ive driven her for about 2 weeks and am already madly in love. Here are some pics of the new ride and also alongside my old truck. I think I stepped off into the deep end in purchasing this truck considering now I want to do EVERYTHING to it :).

    Not sure if you are looking into customizing it, by with that darker color, a lot of folks have painted their wheels with a flat black... They have looked pretty nice..

    Welcome to TacomaWorld from West "By God" Virginia. First mod you should do is have the rear leaf spring TSB done on your truck so you can get upgraded Bilstein shocks and 4 leaf packs for your truck. The total cost for this first mod is $0.
