    Hello Everyone,

    I just joined the Tacoma rage this past Monday the 13th and I have to say that I believe I just made the best choice possible in the Tacoma. I was a ford ranger driver for the last 15 years and the difference in the style and design of the Tacoma tops anything the ranger ever had. Here is a pic of my new best friend. :)

    2009 4WD Reg cab Taco. Keepin it simple.
    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    I have an 09 and still do that. Best little truck I've ever had.
