    Heard about this from a YouTube video, figured I would check it out. Picked up a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD offroad w/ 29,800 miles back on 11 July. I love this truck. I've been looking for a Tacoma for awhile now. Time to start building it up. Any advice is appreciated. This is going to be a slow build do to what's going on in tbe world today.

    for advice, you can take that front box off where the license plate attaches, then reattach the plate. It'll be more secure and give you more room in front. one dirt mound and that plastic junk falls off.

    Bought it at the Toyota dealer. I think after everything was said and done I came in right around 35k. Blue book on a clean comes in right at 31k. And I have to say it was clean. Couple upgrades added to it by the previous owner. Had to work them down on price as well.

    I’m in the same boat as you. Just got my first Tacoma, but mods will be coming slowly. But TW is the place to be to learn while you wait!

    I was looking at that. I'm not required to run 2 plates so I might just take it off completely. I'm also looking into light weight front and rear bumpers for it as well. I do like the truck, Not impressed with the gas mileage it gets but so far I'm liking it.
