    Just purchased a new '08 Tacoma this week, it's the rugged trail TRD. I traded in my '05 Hummer H2 SUT (Which I loved!) for something with a little bit better gas mileage. Already added the DRL mod and will be working on a few others soon I'm sure. Very informative site and look forward to sharing info.

    Here's a pic of the new ride with the wifey's whip.

    Here's the Hummer I traded in.
