First Taco and I’m hooked!

Hey all, new to the boards after recently getting Tango the Taco on Tuesday.

been wanting a Tacoma since Gen 1 when I was in high school, decided at 40 now is the time, or rather my POS Jeep died on me. Looking forward to getting some mods on while balancing not also getting divorced. Would love to plug into some LA / SOCAL meetups!

 

Welcome, I am also a Jeep convert/ past jeep addict. Theyre great but the Jeep world has gone real weak over the past few years and Tacos are way more useful for my lifestyle.

 

Thank you! Yeah we picked up one of those economical 2014 Cherokee’s and the thing was a lemon from the start. It took us a lot of places still and we put 122k miles on it but I’m glad it’s gone. Really excited to slowly build this thing out.

 

Welcome @TangoTacoTuesday

Congrats on picking up your Tacoma, that is very exciting to finally get a truck you have always wanted.

This is a great community to be apart of, tons of information on the site including informative members and vendors so don't hesitate to ask questions.

We hope you enjoy all the benefits on the site and stick around.

 

thank you! Yeah I’ve been lurking for a week and have gotten tons of valuable insight already. Looking forward to chatting more! Tires are high on the list as it’s basically the o oh thing the truck needed when I got it. Just trying to decide on suspension upgrades first but it may have to wait we’ll see!

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

 

Welcome. Enjoy the truck. Lots of good info on here. Lol so many options to spend your money on.

 

I had a 2015 Trailhawk… had issues with mine from the start also. 3 years later traded in for my she truck!! Enjoy your truck and the forum!!

 

Thank you!

 

Yeah I’m so happy to be over it! Beautiful truck! Looking forward to getting some mods going on mine

 

That’s the hard part, having a vision of what you want your truck to look like and it taking time to get there!

 

seriously for real, I think I’m gonna lean into the black and white hard

 

Welcome and nice truck!

You'll get lots of ideas for mods/add-ons around here for sure. (Insert meme with dude pushing a credit card w/dollars away!) lol

Hope you get to meet up with LA/SoCal peeps. I have family in the Inland Empire & Alhambra.

 

Thank you!

yeah been deep diving on the boards trying to decide which one I need to sell my wife in first yeah would love to meet up with like minded folks and find the roads less traveled.

 

Nice! I’m sure it’ll look great! Got a timeline when ya want it done by?

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Just a thought...

I bought the HDX Steps, Splash Guards, and Black Chrome Exhaust tip...within a month of bringing her home.

Then it was the Talon CAT plate followed by the TRD Skid plate, and license plate light covers.

OEM LED headlights, Tailgate Lock, Bed Lights & Bed Mat, Hood Shocks, TRD Oil cap...

SaBellCo Tailgate Lock and EmpyreOffRoad TRD Pro Grill w/Raptor Lights round out the purchases.

BTW, I've had my '21 Sport since May of 2021 and my wife is totally annoyed with my spending. lol

EDIT: OTT 8.0 Tune was done in May 2022

 

hahaha I wish, I’d like to get it done in a year, but we’ll see. I’m not going to go too crazy, I love off roading, but I’ll be on pavement a a lot as well. So I’m thinking going with a falcon suspension setup, canopy, and 275/70/R16 for wheels and tires. Maybe a roof rack and some lighting.

I’d love to spray the entire truck with white and black line-x but won’t be funds for that for a while.

 

Well good luck!! Post some pics as you go!
