    Hi everyone!

    I am super excited about my new 1st Tacoma! I think this community is amazing and i would love to get involved and contribute some fun content. I am looking to hear more about your mods, how you did them, where you got the parts and what challenges you've faced. I am also looking to trade/sell stock parts as I begin to customize my Tacoma. Any feedback, advice, tips, comments are welcomed. I hope to make some amazing friends and share my passion about Toyota Tacomas!

    Even Better! I was looking at 2nd Gen Tacomas too. I love the pre-12' Tacomas. Any big plans for it?

    Yeah.. I'm playing the "waiting game" until Aug or Sep... When the 17's roll out. I want to save a little more to keep my payments under $300. Kid coming next month so I want to make sure I can still get diapers and food. Hahah. Get a good deal in SoCal? Hopefully your dealer was easy to work with

    yeah! i've been waiting a year to get mine. My son just turned 1 haha. Definitely worth the wait. In SoCal they are pretty much all selling at MSRP or above. I worked with a family friend who own's their own brokerage. He got me a great deal and found me exactly what I wanted. I think the challenging part right now is finding what you want locally and not having to wait weeks/months for it to be built.

    Holy moly. I am still getting used to navigating a forum. How can I see pictures of your Tacoma? Do you have a gallery?
