    Hi everybody!

    I've now had my Tacoma for one year (+1 day) exactly.

    Purchased this 2010 ACLB SR5 4.0 4x4 on March 8th 2021. Bought it from a Vietnam vet that took wonderful care of it. Only had 29,500 miles on it and I have since put 11,000 pretty great miles on it! I am an 18 year old going to automotive school and have been paying it off quickly. I have about 5 more months of $555.55 to go! I'm so excited to have it paid off!

    I also now understand why everyone says not to add everything up. Since day one I have spent over 6k on mods! about 1k for the sound system, 2k for wheels and tires and everything else magically added up:rofl: Here's a quick before and after

    Congrats dude! Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, I was fortunate enough to buy mine at 23. 2012 DCLB Sport 4x4 with 50k.

    Looks good! I was JUST kicking around the idea of those TRD Pro wheels and tires on mine, and the blacked out emblem and getting rid of the step bars. They look so much better after those changes.

    Thanks! I sure try! Working at a chrysler dealership, going to auto school, tacoma mods and my Jeep CJ7 makes me feel like I eat sleep and breath cars!

    Oh yeah with gas I suppose. Paid $19,900 and had about 7500 down. I went that high on the payments because I can afford it and want it paid off quick.
