    Yep, Been keeping an eye on what you all have been up too and, seemed to have some extra time today so I figured I'd finally sign up. Decided to buy a Tacoma, was going to buy an OR or a Sport than my darling wife said, "Can't you just buy a truck and not spend another 10 grand on making it the way you want?" Well, Ended up buying a Pro and it's pretty sweet. Has issues and needs things swapped out but all in all it's a great truck. So, Have a Happy New Year!

    Thanks for all the welcomes. The Trucks been great. Except for the Entune system and the awful road noise issues. I had a software update done to the Entune 2 weeks ago and it made things worse. Dynamatted all 4 doors, under and behind the backseat and I still get road noise above 30mph. Next is pulling the headliner.

    Might as well swap the tires to match the road noise. Is this your first Taco? I never had one problem with my new 16 Taco. I installed BFG A/T's with 3 miles on it. Never had road noise except for the known howl with crosswinds on the interstate at 70. Nice truck.

    Thanks Guys. As far as Tires, the truck was located in a town about 4hrs South of me. That was going to be the first thing I was going to change but...Driving home over 4 Mountain passes and completely flying up and down hills I decided to keep the stock tires because the truck felt like a race car. Literally amazing. I have since installed a set of OR wheels with Blizzaks for the snow and ice in a 265/70r16. Using the ATEQ I swap tires weekly. However, The "City Truck" look is killing me. I ordered Spyder Trax last week and am ordering Dura-Tracs this morning. I've had two sets on other vehicles and like them. They also weigh a lot less than the popular KO2
