    Well, I figured I'd join the ranks of Tacoma World after buying my first Tacoma... I just bought a 2013 4x4 Regular cab. I've been looking through the mods and there are some really cool ones and some really simple smart ones.. The first is the anti-theft one for the tailgate, cheap and brilliant..
    I am having a problem though and if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful. I'm trying to shop online for Nerf and bull bars for my truck but almost none of the sites have updated products for the '13 models. Any idea where to start looking?
    Anyways, looking forward to hanging out on here and working on the new truck!

    Any steps for the '05+ Regular Cab Tacomas should fit yours.

    I think that you will need a bull bar for a 12 or 13 since the front end changed in 12. A lot of manufactures had to update there products for the 12 front end. I would stay away from the bull bar and get something a little better just my .02. Either way vary nice truck.

    Welcome,

    If that truck came from Jim Barkley that's the 2013 I looked at and found it had the nicer stereo than my 2012, lol!

    Congrats on your red RC, there aren't to many RCs around these parts.

    Welcome OP! Digging the color of your truck, is that a new red for the 13's? Gosh it's hard to believe my truck is 2 years old already!

    That's the one.. Just off the truck. And yeah, the touch screen head unit is ridiculous. It came factory with bluetooth and hands free phone. It's a really slick unit. I've got a guy on the way to the house today to pin stripe it for me.
