Hi, I has a Taco. We are friends.

Long time google thread moocher when I need to research a question, figured I'd finally join....

purchased my first Taco in late 2014:

2015 TRD OR
Crew Cab
6 Spd - that's right I had all 3 pedals.

Then my wife and I relocated to a less rural area and went from driving about 45 minutes without an intersection, to going from stoplight to stoplight every 200 yards. Then I wasn't so crazy about that 3rd pedal.... I never took any pics of it, but all I did was go one size bigger on the rubber bands.

Ended up getting a good deal on a 3rd gen a few days ago, so now I'm in a 2018 TRD sport. Will be putting on the 5th gen 4 runner wheels, Ironman or OME lift, and going with 255/80 pizza cutters on it.

My wife and I also just picked up a 2018 SR5 Prem 4 runner.
Installed an SOS front streamline bumper, SOS sliders, and OME lift on it.

So we're a yoda fam i guess. Don't flame me too bad for going to a 3rd gen.

Pics because that all yall care about.

 

Looking good! Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who sets their camper up in their driveway. Looks awesome, welcome to TW

 

My wife and I do a lot of motorcycle track days and we decided that a tent is cheaper than hotels, so we sprung for it. That was the test fit lol.....

Then we moved into an enclosed trailer, so I'll need to look into one for the LB on the 2018. Been looking at Soft toppers, but that seems like a pricey route. It's almost worth it to me to just get a bed rack and tent to mount on it, especially since we'll be looking into a Gobi rack for Runner and camping setup for it. would be nice to have something just to swap back and forth.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome aboard Bo

 

Welcome to TW

 

What part of NC are you in? I'm about a half hour south of Tryon

 

I’m near Lake Norman, good to meet ya fellow NC guy!

 

I'm actually just over the border in upstate SC, but we usually find our way up into NC more. We'll usually found our way up to Lost Valley Mx park in Connelly when we can.

We're transplants from WV though so we don't count for either

 

Check out the SC and NC Regional threads! Lots of good ppl around! I’m in SC but I don’t count as good ppl!

 

You’re actually closer to my brother wh just moved to Gastonia

 

What we have here is a Great 1st post.
Welcome to TW

 

Figured y'all needed a change of pace from - hOw bIg A TaR caN i fIt oN mUh tRUcK



I say that and will still admit I've searched that very question 1837473727 times to try to figure out what I wanna do. Lol

 

They didn’t appreciate me calling them!

 

Whatsup with that chevy

 

She's gone now.... That was actually a diesel Cruze. It was an awesome car, but at about 112k it started to sound like the turbo was starting to go. We traded it in on the 4 runner.

 

To be honest you could have made a bigger impression without all the pics.Your story was enough for me!
