    Well, I've been patiently waiting for almost 3 months now, but they called me today and said my xrunner is here. 2011. I went by the lot and the security guy let me inside the building and I got to look at it. It's 2 in the morning but I won't be able to sleep. I'm hoping to bring her home tomorrow.

    Weathertech custom mats, TRD CAI, TRD catback exhaust, roughcountry 3"in lift, mostlikly new tires before this winter in case the northeast gets killed like we did last year.
    I just recently traded in my sporty mazda 3 hatchback for a 2010 Double cab and I'm loving it. Looking forward to winter hitting us here in the northeast and having some fun! I've got no complaints so far and look forward to years of taco fun. I can really see what you all are getting into these trucks are top notch!

    Whats up TW. So i guess im supposed to say whats up and a little intro. So here goes. I've been eyeballing a Taco for 2 years and finally got the job to get the funds to pull that trigger. Picked up the brand new Dream yesterday and love it all ready. She's a 2011 taco double cab trd off road in white. Previously i rolled in a 85 toyota tercell 4X4 named Gracie cause thats what she was powered by. Then an 87 4 runner aptly named truckasaurce. Both were absolutely the best car for me at the time. Now its time to build the dream.

    Catch ya laters

    Hey you guys. I just registered to TW. I am proudly a new owner of a 2007 Tacoma PreRunner Double Cab 2WD. This is my fourth car, but my second Toyota (first being a 1998 4Runner). Before the Tacoma, I had a 2003 Tahoe Z71. I always wanted to perform modifications on it, but I knew I would not be satisfied with a vehicle until I purchased a Tacoma. Now that I have, I want to start. I am here to get ideas about what I should do, and in what order I should do these things. Please, leave me some feedback so I can start working on this truck!

    My 09 Taco was my first NEW car. The tacoma is my dream truck from childhood.

    My dad had an old t100 and damn that thing was sweet until it need a complete rewire at 250,000 then the neighbor fixed it and said it went another 50,000 for him.

    first car was a 89f150 and it was a damn nick truck but i was always liked the looks of yotas until they came out with the T100 again. i think an engineer dropped the truck on its grill during its first stages of design.

    Hey how's it going? I own a Magnetic Gray 2010 Tacoma 4WD DC SR5 TRD sport. I've actually owned it since Feb of this year. Yeah I know, totally slacked on getting on here til now but I really wanted to take time to get to know the truck and look around as much as possible before I decided on what mods to get done. Anyways, it's good to be on here and I'm looking forward to making some new friends and getting advice and ideas for my truck....:cool:
