    Hey has anyone here ever ordered anything from MetalMiller? About a month ago I placed an order and I haven't received it or heard anything about it.... I hope I didn't get ripped off for $130.00

    Hey Guys thanks to all for the great DYI's and information in this forum. I'm almost done restoring my 07 Tacoma. After fixing my dents, new paint impulse red, rims and tires, grill and lights and step bumper, it is looking good. I am glad I made the right decision to restore her and not trade her in! BTW it is a 5 luger, 2.7L which is used as a daily driver and hulls my 16ft boat to the ramp on the weekends.
    I am currently waiting on some paint so I can finish my rear bumper. Thanks again. Joe

    Yo Dudes. My first new vehicle in my whole driving life. I'm in love with this baby, had it 4 years now and not a bit of trouble. Just replaced the rear passenger tail light thanks to me backing into a tree up in the woods at my cabin. Seems like the only trouble I've had has been self-inflicted but hey, life happens.

    Have a good weekend.

    Hello everyone. Just placed an order today for a new 2014 Tacoma Limited Silver. I'm from Burlington Ontario, Canada. No idea when I'll get the vehicle as the Limited's are kind of rare around here. My stipulations were that it have less than 250km's when I get it and that it be Silver. There was a Black or White one at another dealer very far from me for a couple hundred cheaper, but I went local in hopes of getting silver.

    My wish list for the future is:

    TRD Supercharger
    Aftermarket suspension with a modest lift 2" or so and maybe some 30-33's on it.
    Taking a trip to MOAB and other deserts in the States.

    I'm hoping to be a semi active member on the board, and also ride a 2013 Yamaha FJR1300.

    Aloha from the sand box. I live in Va Beach and bought a 14" MGM DCSB. I bought some stuff for it and waiting to get home to get it where I want it. I had an 05'GTI. Miss her. I also have way too much free time to look at things that make my wallet lighter. I thought jeeps were bad. I know, I know, I am not supposed to speak such blasphemy here.

    Good luck with it. Virginia Beach here also. Have had mine about a year. Bed mat, cargo divider, and tonneau cover only "mods", for now.

    My first 13Tacoma TRDsport, I'm just reading all the post and learning about the truck. I just want to say thanks for the info that you guys posted. So far the mod I have done for my truck is Bull bar, Step bar, Volant intake system, and Roll N Lock Tonneau. and my next project is to install a exhaust system or Wheel Spacer.

    Hey TW! I am new to this forum, to buying a pickup and to owning a toyota.. I initially bought a 5 lug Tacoma but had second thoughts and went all in on a pre owned PreRunner TRD. I love it! It'll be awhile before I mod' it but I love it in its stock form.. Can't wait to learn more from all of ya'll.

    Well, welcome regardless!

    You picked an interesting place to learn all about your new Taco, and a ton of other fun stuff too.

    Kick back, grab an adult beverage of your choosing (not while driving though, obviously) and get comfy. We're an odd bunch but interesting.
