    I finally got my Taco! :bananadance:

    I went from a Lexus IS250 to a 2018 Tacoma DB TRD Sport - Silver Sky

    I've been wanting a Tacoma since the 3rd generation release, and I finally made the leap Friday the 13th! I decided to go certified used over brand new. It's a 2018 with about 14,000 miles on it and now the fun begins. I'm taking the day to read through the forum. Thank you TW for the landing page for newcomers. VERY HELPFUL! Sounds like I'll keep my tailgate locked till I get a tailgate clamp.

    MODS I want (pretty simple)
    • Luggage Roof rack
    • Side step
    • Better sound system
    • Side hood lights (although I'm might be a poser since it's not a 4x4 lol)
    Anyhow, happy to be here, find shopping resources, and meet some new buds.

    Stefanie
