    About a month ago I had to say goodbye to my 2019 taco. I was involved in a crash. (All parties were not hurt and are ok) But nonetheless, I’m gonna miss this black beauty.

    BUT, since I’m a taco owner for life, lol of course I replaced and upgraded. Meet my new ride… 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro.

    So sad; that is / was a nice looking truck! Glad everyone made it through the ordeal unhurt.

    @gwiz, No I wish I had those pics. A Honda Accord ran underneath the back end. Push the right side of the axle up near the back door. There was some damage to my body panel and bumper but I’m guessing the lift helped avoid that.

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Guess the lift avoided some damage but instead facilitated more serious drivetrain damage. Interesting.

    Glad everyone made it out ok! That truck looked super sharp...is there a reason you went white instead of black this time? Sick of the paint swirls? Them black trucks always look beautiful, but they're almost never clean!

    @Ol' Sarge Yes to all of the above. lol No reason to why I went white other then the deal in the truck itself. It just happened to be white in color.
