    I am new to the trucking world. I just purchased my first truck. Pretty excited. I had an Idea of what I wanted and when I found out some of the packages offered by toyota were screwy then I narrowed down exactly what I was looking for. I ran into some issues with some of the dealers in the San Diego area... (trying to lie and cheat me) but after a long fought battle I purchased a: White 13' Tacoma Dbl Cab LB, 4x4 TRD Sport pkg w/ JL Audio

    I will be picking up today or tomorrow depending on my schedule. Pics to Follow.
