Should've joined years ago!

Hi y'all I'm Ray. Currently living in the Florida panhandle. Story Time:

My first vehicle was a green 2wd Yota 22re. After returning from a 2 year stint in Europe I bought an 08 extended cab 2.7l 4x4 dark blue. Traded it in a year later for 06 TRD Sport 4x4 of the same color. Loved that truck! Brought home both my kids from the hospital in it and took on trails from Southern Nevada to Northern Montana. Unfortunately, in 2014 I took a curve too fast in slushy mountain roads, snapped an axle, took it airborne, landed on the drivers side, and rolled onto the cab. With my wife, kids, and both dogs in the truck with me. Everybody walked away, but the truck was a total loss.

After taking a forray into 4Runner territory. It was alright, but definitely no taco. Wife wrecked that one (Sounds like we are bad drivers, but those are the extent of our crashes!) And bought an Acura MDX. We both hated it and dumped it a couple weeks for a 13 TRD Sport 4x4.

Back in a truck that's worth loving!

tl/dr: I love Tacomas and have a 13!

 

Welcome aboard Ray and great looking truck! I have a '13 sport that looks almost just like yours! You have good taste

Edited to add: glad everyone was okay in the accident, and glad you were able to get back into a taco!

 

Welcome. I’m also new to the forum and figuring my around. Bought my first taco in 2015. Should have done that a long time ago.

Welcome again. Looking forward to your build thread.

 

It is a good looking color. I saw mine online and went to the dealer fully expecting to hate the red, but once I saw it, loved it instantly!

I hate to disappoint, but I'll only to be an intake, URD MAF Calibrator, then headers and catback.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

 

This is exactly how it went for me as well. I never thought i would buy a red vehicle, but once i saw it i knew it was for me. Im pretty sure its all the mettalic flake in it that made me like it so much!
