    After much work, I finally picked up my Taco about a month ago. I kept reminding myself to post up here, but IT keeps me busy.

    Here's a few pics.
    2013 Prerunner SR5 (too upsidedown on the 2013 5.0 to afford the 4x4 :()

    Not sure what the plans are. I'd love to do wheels/tires/maybe a SMALL lift. I'd like to get a CB, but my parking garage is only 6'10". :rain:

    Glad to be here and hope to learn a lot! :wave:

    Ryan, I was looking at your rocksliders to double as step bars, but from the pics they look too close to the cab. How far do they stick out?

    Yeah, it was fun. I drive 25 miles to downtown Dallas for work though. As a daily, it just wasn't worth the cost.

    Quite a difference between a Mustang GT and a Tacoma. Did you buy the Mustang and realize a truck is what you really needed? I purchased an '08 Accord thinking fuel efficiency and comfort and realized quickly I am not a car guy. I definitely either need a truck or an SUV.

    Partly. I lug around stuff for an amateur baseball league I play in. It was just too small of a car to enjoy and do that. Also, I felt terrible putting miles on the 5.0. I feel much more confident the Taco will hold up and hold its value far better.
