    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    I did the Cobra 75 WX ST for the radio because 1st off I only needed it to talk to others on the trail or in a convoy (not 25 miles away) and the piece that you mount is only like the size of a pack of cigarettes so it's out of the way mounted under the cup holders. For the antenna I highly recommend the Wilson flex. It's like a firestik in it's looks and the fact it's tuneable but it's also flexible so you don't need a spring. I used a K40 CB antenna cable model # K4018FME with the removable end so you can punch a very small hole to get the cable into the cab.

    Of coarse pick whatever you want to but I chose these with the BAMF mount and could not be happier!

    I love my '07 Tacoma. It’s taken me on countless road trips with the family including dozens of adventures on the beach and many trips down rutted fireroad trails. It’s also hauled 1200 lbs of wood over a dozen times and has towed a 3000 lb boat on many a summer weekend.

    In the 9 years I’ve owned this truck I have never had any serious issues. Back in the day before kids and all the responsibilities of life I would spend hours working on my '99 Tacoma. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've done very little maintenance or modifications on this new one. I change the oil every 3000 miles and only fill up with premium gas. Besides that, I’ve only added injector cleaner to the tank and changed the brake pads and wiper blades once. Oh, I replaced the brake light switch a few years back too. A new grille, new tires and a (not-so-successful) attempt at a spacer lift are pretty much the only mods I have done. The fact that my DCSB Sport has been so damn reliable and that I haven't had to think about it is a testament to its durability.

    Well now I'm almost at 100K miles and recently had the frame replaced through the rust recall. Seeing that shiny new undercarriage has inspired me to put some love back into this baby. The hope is that it’ll last me another 9 years. So here's the list of what I've done (and what's been done) to my Tacoma today and over the past 12 weeks, including a few mods that were inspired by TW members on this thread.
    • Timing cover leak fixed (was well past the TSB warranty and had it done cheap during the frame swap)
    • New water pump
    • Replaced gaskets on valve covers, oil pans and exhaust
    • New spark plugs
    • New radiator (dealer screw up during frame swap)
    • New taillights (another dealer screw up during frame swap)
    • Both front wheel bearings replaced
    • Toytec lift with 5100s all around, Eibach springs and AAL
    • TRD Cat back exhaust (thanks @Oldgoalie )
    • NFab side step (thanks @fflfilms3 )
    • 17” Trail Edition wheels (take-offs from a 2015 4Runner)
    • BFG KO2 265/70/17
    • Compass and Temp gauge fixed (finally did this after staring at a blank screen for 4 years!)
    • Relocated my mirror (thanks @ImMrYo )
    • Custom beside decals (thanks @CBoy808 )
    • Debadged silver emblems, rebadged with black ones.
    • Replaced broken gas cap cover (with black one)
    • Swapped my antenna for 14” AntennaX
    • Installed a Bluetooth/Aux GTA Car Kit
    All in all about $3500. I still have to derp some inside panels, and get the damn thing detailed. It’s so true what they say about this site – it’ll end up hurting your wallet! Money well spent if you ask me.:thumbsup:

    My SR5 came with intermittent wiper, power windows, power mirror, AC, lumbar support and backglass window. I guess the "base" thing is for difference between TRD, Xrunner and all the other ones(base). I may be wrong but when I'm looking for parts, it is always the choice that they give.
