    Hey guys, I've been stalking the site for the last couple of months reading as much as i could about the new Tacomas. Finally i got the balls and went out and bought one. Its a 2009 4x4 4 cylinder. I got the SR5 package. So far I got 300 miles on her and Im loving every minute of it. Ill be sure to post pics as I do my mods. I bought it as a computer car to work, and to haul my toys around. Ive already done the seat belt one, that one works great. Here are a couple I snapped today.

    How cool! That's exactly the configuration i want (4cyclinder, magnetic grey, access cab). I would only add the 5-speed. What is your opinion on the 4-cyclinder as far as pickup goes?

    Its actually Pyrite Mica, and I got the 5 speed. It moves ok, I dont really care about speed. Im only going to be hauling my dirt bike on the weekends, and maybe a small boat so i figured the 4 clinder should be plenty powerful. It goes good on the highway.

    Welcome from NH as well. :)
    Hillsboro area here. Good luck with the mods. I got mine a few weeks ago (already 1200 miles) and have already camped with it twice. Radio, hitch and other mods still in the mail.:rolleyes:

    The 4cyl has been great for me. The pick up isn't bad. It's certainly bulkier then when i had the v6 in my 99. But my first two tanks, 23.4 mpg! I'll take that over speed any day.:thumbsup:
