    2018 Cement Taco TRDOR DCSB
    hello all!

    This is my official first post! I just bought my 2018 Cement Taco TRD Off-Road DCSB yesterday and I already can’t wait to start replacing some parts! I popped for the Premium and Tech packages with rubber floor mats. I’m not a hardcore wheeler or anything but love the OEM+ look.

    I just graduated college in May and originally had my heart set on a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. But maybe it’s because I was used to a $200 car payment, but I didn’t want to spend a bunch on a $50k vehicle. That’s when I started scoping out the Tacos; and to be honest, I couldn’t be happier!

    The Cement color is my absolute favorite of any vehicle I’ve owned! Feels so good to be back in a truck. Below are pics from the dealer website and I’ll add more as I go. Maybe even start my own build thread. The last car I fixed up was an Audi some years ago. My build thread there was pretty substantial. I hoping to rekindle that passion again.

    Anyway just wanted to say hello to the forum and convey my excitement to be in such a tight-knit community!

    See you guys on the battlefield.
