    I've had my new Tacoma for about a month now and I couldn't be happier. It's a good feeling to have something safe and reliable for myself as well as well as my family. Truly the first vehicle that I was able to get exactly what I wanted now that I have a secure job. My family has always been a Ford family and I had no exposure to Toyota's until I met my beautiful girlfriend and now mother of my child, her entire family is all about Toyota's and that's were my new love interest began. I've been looking for accessories since purchasing my 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport and my search continued to bring me here, so I figured it would be a good place to get the heads up on new products as they come available. First thing that had to go was the stock wheels and tires. I picked up 2015 TRD 17" Matte Black wheels and upgraded to 265 70R 17 Wrangler Duratrac. Glad to be here. :)

    Thanks everyone! The wheels couldn't have turned out any better in my opinion. I've gotten a lot of compliments, most thought that's how it came stock.

    Thanks! The color honestly got me to finally pull the trigger, it's really sharp. The dealer had told me the color was called Sandstorm originally, then later they were calling it Quicksand.

    Bora 3/4" or spidertrax 1&1/4 are the only 2 I'd use.
