    Hello everyone. I finally bought my tacoma. I just bought a 2009 White Double Cab, TRD Off Road PreRunner. I could not be happier. Is everyone as proud to own as I am? I live in Hawaii and I see these trucks EVERYWHERE. Are they this popular on the mainland? I look forward to seeing you all's mods and completeing some of my own.
