    Hey TW,

    I introduced myself a while back... When I had my 2017 White TRD OR.
    I'm Victoria and I am a Tacoholic. I also have a love/hate relationship with TW - I love it, my wallet hates it. I don't post here a ton, but I am going to start more frequently. So let's start with some good news, bad news.

    Bad News:
    Stormy, my 2017 Taco, was sadly totaled about a month ago when someone illegally flipped a U-Turn in front of me and I crashed into them at about 35. Which compromised the frame all the way to the firewall. I personally had a pretty bad concussion and whiplash. But overall, my truck did what it was supposed to and protected me.
    We got to have a little over a year together, drove 27,000 miles over 8 states, and I turned her into a pool... more than once.

    Good News:
    I have a new Taco to start fresh with! Happy to (re)introduce myself and my new Truck, Cloudy. She is a 2018 Cement TRD OR with Tech/JBL, 25% tint, and some extra goodies. Picked her up with 4mi on the odometer. Once I get rolling again doing mods I will be posting up a build thread! But for now, hope you enjoy her pics. Our first week together we have already logged 1,500 miles driving from Utah to Arizona to New Mexico to Texas (looking forward to checking out the Texas Toyota Coalition) :) And my legs have logged about 100 by way of mountain bike. She currently sits with a Cali Raised TRD Pro Grille (some how salvageable from the old truck) which I have to modify to make the TSS garnish fit/work, some black tailgate inserts, the worlds biggest f-ing bike rack from Yakima, and a full squeeze kit from Hondo.

    Crash was a bummer. Luckily not my fault and I am pretty much okay.. Some lingering whiplash, but could've been much worse!
