    Hey all. I've been around here reading all about Tacomas for quite some time. A car accident I didn't ask for decided to enter my life and I made the best out of it and turned it into my first Tacoma. A 2013 DCLB TRD Sport. Yes, I wanted the limo. The ARB bumper, All-Pro rack pack and tires were all added from the previous and sole owner. My first oil change on it is coming up and I'm adding a Fumoto valve. This will be my before picture.

    Is there a sticky to put all our credit cards on? So it's easier for the vendors to send us all their gear.

    I just figured it would be easier if what I drove and where I lived were one in the same.
