    2012 Black Tacoma TRD access
    Just purchased my 2012 Tacoma TRD sport w/access cab and 6 spd last week with 48,xxx miles.

    I feel this vehicle is a culmination of all my previous vehicles (03 vw gti, 01 jeep cherokee, 10 subaru impreza).

    I am excited to start the slow build and that there is definitely a well established community of Tacoma enthusiasts.

    I already dropped the side steps and mud flaps. Badges will come off as the temps warm up. Rims (prefer different than the original) will be black and will be looking to do a slight lift. Overall the vehicle serves my purposes well as is.
