My first new vehicle (Longest INTRO thread)

Well I have been following this site for a couple of months now, but didn't join till now. Started following when me and the fam was still in Germany. So I am excited to join. Been in the Army for little over 11yrs, lived in Germany, Colorado, Germany, now in Georgia. I have an 2011 Toyota Tacoma, Black double cab 4x4 TRD offroad, 6 spd man. I love my truck, use to have a f150, but I rather have my tacoma. No pics yet of the beast, but will post soon.

 

Hey guys and gals. This is my first time joining one of these sites. I have to thank all members on here for basically making the decision for me to buy a Tacoma. I traded in my 2007 STI for this 2009 Tacoma... and I am more than happy with my decision! Look forward to everyones input on posts-to-come!

 

hEY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! PICKED UP MY NEW TACO LAST NIGHT. LOVING IT.

 

This forum is great, so much information and so much help. I have been reading posts here for a few months while I was shopping around and finally I got myself a Tacoma I'm so happy with it... now to start the mods.

 

Well I get my 2013 4x4 double cab trd off road in pyrite mica next week, kinda nervous haven't spent this much money since I bought my 2000 ram air trans am I will post some pics when I get it .

 

Thats a great looking truck, Jim! Did you buy it the way it sits, or did you put the lift on?

 

Pyrite mica is an awesome color! Don't see many of them, definitely unique. Congrats! and its only money....as long as you're not putting you/your family in the poor house buying it....then enjoy it

 

nah its all good on the money, looking forward to having a/c and the entune should be cool I'm just looking forward to getting some camping and traveling done in a reliable truck the old 79' Chevy is little sketchy sometimes


chad what size lift is on your red dc looks pretty sweet?

 

Thank you sir! 4.5" RCD lift

 

Hey ya'll, I just drove home my new 2012 SR5 silver double cab. I'm stoked after driving a Rav for the last 2 years (family choice) and having had a 2003 taco a few years ago. I missed driving a truck and now I'm locked into a long financing, but that's what I had to do to get what I wanted.
I'm planning on putting a cap, roof rack, and sidesteps on her over the next few months. I'd love to see anybody's 3rd gen w/ a similar setup. And if you don't mind me asking, how soon should I get a K+N air filter? I have 2 years of no-maintenance, so does it matter if I do it now or wait for 25k miles?
And I'll definitely upgrade the tires when the stock ones are toast.
Oh ya, and are there any surfers/paddleboarders out there?

 

I bought it as it sits. I did all my research on lifts for when I got my truck then I found this one already lifted with a Fabtec stage II for near enough the same price.

 

lots of nice rides on here. I pick my White 2013 double cab trd off road up tomorrow. cant wait for the mods to begin... ;-)

 

After a month and a half of looking and waiting, I finally picked up my 2013 DBL Cab Long bed in Spruce Mica! I have told myself for years that I would never buy a brand new vehicle...apparently I was lying to myself

Like a good American I just bought something, that I can't afford...on credit...sooooo any mods will have to wait. I don't have plans to make it a Baja Taco but the best laid plans...right?

 

I Think I like the Mica color

 

I dig it! If it isn't in direct, bright sun it will look black or green or even pyrite or charcoal....its like, multifaceted maaan! (hippy accent)

 

I learned to drive on a 1972 Toyota Corolla. My parents had a number of Corollas and Toyota pickups through the years. I went on to drive a number of American made cars because that was the lifestyle of where I grew up. Then my life changed. A divorce and a subsequent move brought me back to Toyota through the woman I lived with. Shortly before we got married I purchased a 1989 Toyota Pickup. It was 3 years old and had about 28k on the odometer. For the last 18 1/2 years I have driven that pickup. My wife had just purchased her third Corolla earlier this summer. And after that time some of the features that she had began to look good to me. I purchased a new Tacoma and hope I will get as much enjoyment out of it as I received from my last purchase.

 

heres a pic of my new 2013 trd off road taco...

 

Well I said I was going to get it so here it is 2013 TRD off road in Pyrite mica.

Had to take it out and play real fast, mud flaps have got to go for sure.

 

Eric (trdoffroad13) nice truck

 

Hi new to this thread. Just purchased a 2013 tacoma double cab 4x4 trd sport long bed traded in my 2012 tacoma 4x4 5spd access cab. New truck is black didn't even leave the dealership and noticed swirl marks every where and a couple minor scuffs finally got them to agree to buff it out. My question: Are the swirl marks going to come out with buffing? Is buffing a brand new truck a good idea?
