    Hey, I'm Brandon. Last week I got my new Tacoma! It's a silver 2010 Double Cab TRD Sport. Since then, I've got the front windows tinted (why the hell they don't come tinted like the rest of them, I'll never know) and step bars installed. Trying to keep it simple...but as always, mods are addicting, haha. Glad I found a site where I can share my enthusiasm and be accepted, lol. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow.

    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Haha, I guess if legality were an issue...I could understand, but here in Tennessee tint is fine as long as it isn't darker than 30% or so.

    Those are all excellent questions, lol. I figure the lift and wheels/tires will have to go hand in hand so I can put the size tires I want on there without it being too much of a pain. As far as audio goes...that will more than likely be pushed back...it's never been on the top of my to do list on any of my other vehicles. Not that I don't enjoy a nice sound setup, I just have plenty of other things I'm more interested in. Other than that...the S/C looks like a decent upgrade, haha.

    Thanks guys. And I'm not really wanting to change the grill right now. However, the truck is only a week old...so I'm still a bit partial to the original look for the most part, lol. Give me a month, haha.
