NEWBEE

I am picking up my first Tacoma, brand new, tomorrow. Needless to say, this old fart is pretty happy. This is my first truck since I wrecked an old '52 Ford as a drunken sailor in San Diego in '73. My feet and body have been dry now for over 20 years. I will probably check this site when questions pop up.

 

How old is an old fart? I'm 52.

 

HA us old farts (61) should be buying Corvettes........Been there done that.....Back to Tacomas. A friend said to me recently, "I didn't know you were a truck guy" I said I am but I still need my roadster so I bought an MX 5. My motorcycle riding days are nearing an end. After 35 years I have not had a scratch. Not sure how long that will hold up. The Miata will do double duty as my "trike" when I sell the beast.

When I retired I just had to have a Corvette, I would not recommend that car (or any GM product) Its a poor mans super car. Demographic is clearly in the early 70's according to the Corvette Club here,,,LOL

This is my fourth Tacoma and will be a staple in my driveway as long as it is good to me.

Welcome and enjoy. Its nice sitting higher and the tech is what I like the most,

 

By old fart I mean 67, but I guess that can be relative....

 

Where did you get the interior led lights ? I looked on the web and YouTube but had no luck.

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

Congrats fellow old fart! I'm still here in San Diego....

 

Congrats and welcome!

Regardless, welcome Skinner. I have owned Corvettes, Jeeps, F-150s, Expeditions, and Tundras in my 36 years of driving and I am very pleased with the 2016 Tacoma except for the transmission shift program. Ignore 75% of the whining and complaining on this forum and you will find some useful information here and there (and several rude people who need a knot tied in their ass, who say things they would never get away with face to face).

 

Welcome to the group. Had a Corvette myself but got rid of it for my Tacoma. Cool car but with my back and neck getting worse as the years go on, I just couldn't deal with getting in and out of it anymore.

 

Thanks Chuck. I know what you mean about the forum world.

 

Welcome & congrats

 

http://www.vleds.com/ has them.. When removing the fronts use a small strip of duct tape. Wrap the bulb and pull the tape while holding the wrap on the bulb.
