    Hey all. Just bought an 05 TRD Sport today and have been reading these forums all evening and already learned a lot so I decided to register. This is my first Tacoma and I totally love it so far! I probably won't do much in the way of modding it, I have a '55 VW for that. I can't leave anything alone though, so I'm sure I'll do something to it at some point, lol. Here's some pics of it

    And a couple of the bug just because! :D

    Thanks guys! Yeah, you're probably right, lol. Maybe some 5100's, an AAL, some better tires...
    My last truck was a wore-out 99 Ranger, so this is quite a step up for me! That thing was a total turd, leaked oil, was gutless, etc etc. I'm pretty stoked with the Tacoma. One of the first things I will probably do is the overhead compass/temp indicator fix, it doesn't work.

    mk ,

    5 posts into your thread and you've gone from "I'm not going to mod my truck at all " , to "well maybe just some 5100's , AAL , tires ...." face it dude , you're screwed !!! :D

    Thanks for the warm welcome. What ever I do to the truck will probably happen pretty slowly. My wife is expecting (our first!) and we only have my income. And a mortgage. In So Cal. And when it comes to modding things, the bug will always take precedent when there is spare $ floating around. Hopefully by this summer it will have about 300 hp :eek:
