    Just got my first Tacoma! Tacomas have literally been my dream car since i first knew they existed. Growing up friends would talk about how sweet Lambos are, and Ferrari, Koenigsegg... all the European super cars pretty much... Anyway! I would always say I want a Tacoma more than anything else. So finally after a few years of shopping around I got a call from the dealer saying this truck rolled onto the lot. A 2008 Tacoma, used with 20,000 miles, AND here's the kicker... It had (still has) most of the modifications I was looking at buying for my truck after I got one (CAI, lift kit, tires, rims). I know it wasn't all my build, but I love this truck like it was my own creation. I saw it and knew this heavenly person who owned the truck before had seen inside my head... But being used it had some problems with the mods he put on, so I got everything working, changed some things, and PRESTO! The car of my dreams.

    PS, I'm cam by the way...

    and here is Mia, (is it weird I gave my truck a name?):confused:[​IMG]

    Yes.
    Welcome to TW!

    It's definitely not weird to name your truck, there is a thread related to that somewhere. All of my cars have names.

    I would also recommend a color-matched grille.

    Thanks everyone for the sweet reception (if that's what it's called)! Stoked to see other people from MA too! And really like the idea of blacking out the headlights and the grill! Hadn't thought of that until you guys and gal mentioned it! There are a few projects I plan on doing with Mia, and now I've added the grill and headlight mods to the list! Thanks! And rcfreak201, Mia's lifted on coilovers. Toytec's ultimate lift. Thanks for the how-to link as well! Much appreciated everyone!
