    Hi guys! I am brand new to this forum. Idk why it took me so long to get on TW. But now that I have, it feels a little short lived since I am getting ready to part with my Taco.

    So I figured it would be a good idea to share some of what I have left of the old steed.

    Here it is:

    Chuck is a 2011 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD edition. 2x4 with rear diff lock. Even though I never got around to wheeling it, I had a great time cruising it around town. It has been the most reliable, well trusted sled I have ever owned. Toyota make some really great trucks. Of the 66k miles I've put on him the only thing I've ever had to do was an oil change and one minor service. I can't say enough about my Taco. I'm going to miss this guy!

    For now, Thank you TW for welcoming into the YOTA community.

    Specs if anyone is interested:

    *Tacoma SST Lift Kit 2WD - 3.0"F /1.0"R
    *Method Race 301 "The Standard" Matte Black
    17 x 8.5 - 6 x 5.5 Bolt Pattern. Painted Rivets Flat Black
    No center caps / Painted Hub Flat Black.
    *295-70-17 /10 Ply Toyo MT
    *Wheel Adapter 6061 Billet Aluminum 6 on 5.50/6
    On 135MM to 6 On 5.50 (1.25) Dual Drill
    *Hannemann 05+ Tacoma Front Fender Flares
    (Pair-Round Top 4" Bulge W/Bumper Caps)
    *Painted Rear Bumper Color Matched to Tacoma
    *Painted Front Grill Shell Flat BlackIMG_9551.jpg IMG_9563.jpg IMG_9555.jpgIMG_9576.jpg

    Thanks Eccracer104, I just got a new 2016 4Runner Trail Premium. I love it, it has everything the Tacoma has except more luxurious yet at the same time very capable of doing all the off road stuff I always wanted to do but never got around to it. I'm already planning on some light expedition trips this spring. Its looking to becoming a solid build so far.

    Thanks for the warm welcome man. I've noticed that most of the Toyota Forum members are pretty rad when it comes to Toyotas in general. I will def be checking out the Meet up thread for sure. Probably going to take the Runner out next week for its first wheeling.

    Thanks man! I had the pics shot by my in-house media guy. These were the shots we took to list the car. I have it on craigslist right now so we'll see how bites! (Idk what camera he was using. Lol)

    Yea thats awesome man! I def want to make it out to some meet ups for some wheeling or one day treks. I'm probably going end up getting another Tacoma at some point. But for now the 4Runner is pretty dope. The 4Runner is still in the same family as the Tacoma. Guess you can call them cousins! LoL
