    Howdy fellow central Virginians. Joined a few months ago and just getting started on modding my truck. Probably have seen a few of you around Chesterfield County.

    Glad everyone survived the storms around this part. I had a tree fall on the house last fall (Hurricane) so I think that storm cleared my lot for me...

    Just the standard things so far (though most of them are probably not considered technically mods):

    • Bigger tires on stock sport rims
    • hose clamp on tailgate
    • K&N air filter
    • Leaf spring spacer kit from stealership (did that yesterday)
    • tinted windows
    • painted emblems
    • cb radio install
    • homelink remote install
    • pioneer double din radio install
    • ordered katzkin leather to put on either this weekend or next (looking like next as it has not arrived yet)
    Things I'm looking to do:

    • paint stock sport rims black
    • satoshi grill with some lights behind it
    • 3" lift (probably an OME kit)
    I need to throw up some pics once I get a chance to get outside and snap some.

    What's up guys? Just thought I would introduce myself.

    I live in Charlottesville and am shopping new Tacomas. I currently drive a sedan and would like to make the upgrade. Just gotta find the right deal on the one I want.

    Gumbo, keep an eye out at dealership used lots, if you're looking for used... There's more room for negotiations there... If you get impatient, you can go to CarMax like I did, you're not going to get ripped off there, but you're not going to get a deal either. Watch Craigslist too.


    Chris, how are things out in C-ville ?

    Thanks guys. I was originally looking used, but after seeing how much the Tacomas hold their value I am leaning towards getting a new one. Definitely still keeping my eyes open for a good deal used though...the wallet would appreciate that.

    If/when I get one I'd be up for a meet-up. I enjoy off-roading, but I've always been a passenger, never the driver. Any tips on good places nearby for some beginner level off-roading? I have read about Shoe Creek but that sounds like it might be for a more advanced driver than me, especially if I get a new one...

    Shoe creek is perfect for a new driver. It is stuck 4x4 friendly and you can go around any obstical you wish.
