My first new vehicle (Longest INTRO thread)

Hello everyone this is the first forum I've ever been on or looked at. It's ok to yell at me if I do something wrong. Just got a 2012 TRD sport silver in color. It's stock for now but I plan on upgrading it ASAP. Will post pics as I begin the upgrades and figure out how to use this forum.

 

Greetings. First Tacoma, second Yota. First one was an '89 extended cab with an 3.slow. A quarter of million miles on her and I always said she just ran out of habit. It was my off road vehicle and got rode pretty hard at the end of her life.

Now for the new. '08 TRD sport. I just picked it up last night. Love it. The original owner did some nice mods. Nothing too extreme. Dual Flowmasters, K&N CAI. Head unit, and a sub woofer that is in the center console(not sure how I feel about this) I never felt the need for a sub woofer and it ruined some valuable storage space for me. That being said, it does sound good.

 

I have created a new account because my old one has seemed to vanish along with much that my old email was attached to. Hence, I now have this account.

I am a proud owner of a 2013 Toyota Tacoma. It's a double-cab, extended bed. I have recently updated it with a 3" Pro-Comp Suspension lift and 275/65R18 Mastercraft Courser AXT tires on stock rims. I had to replace the tail-lights after someone decided to run into them while she was in a parking lot so I replaced them with aftermarket black-casing tail-lights. Still LEDs. Other small things, I took off all the side and rear emblems and blacked-out the front Toyota emblem. I put UNSC, stands for United Nations Space Command, as an emblem on my tailgate along with a "Yes this is my Warthog" sticker. I also put the UNSC logo with the eagle on the side panels in front of the doors. Her name is Silver, and, needless to say, she gets the job done. I have many future plans for her.

 

Well here goes my first post, Does anybody know what the best performing suspension lift would be for 33 inch tires on a 08 tacoma

 

this is my 1st post just wanted to say hi. 2013 dclb

 

no pics at this time

 

Well first of all i want to say thanks to this forum that you guys got here I can now look forward to all the mods and extras i want to add on to my new truck. Looking at all the DIY and mods you guys have me anxiously wanting to cash my Christmas Bonus and spend it on my truck.

Real Quick... Ive had a 2001 Tacoma that i did a bunch of mods on but unfortunately it got totalled. . Now i went on and bought a new 2014 Tacoma for about 22K after TTL. Its a basic 4 door Crew Cab PreRunner SR5 w/ Entune Plus Radio and Backup camera. (As far as I know those were the only extras.) No foglights, no leather , no step board, no nothing. The reason i got it like this is so i can customize it from bottom up, and get ideas from you guys. So looking forward to you guys' input or ideas and help.

When it arrived at my house.



PS. Will post more pics during lunch so i can upload it. Just got her Tuesday night.

Hey all, first post from the new guy. This would be my first Taco and I'm planning to mod the hell outa mine as the budget and wife will allow. Not new to this site, alot of good reading and ideas on here

 

Cool welcome

 

Azrick 9 ,Cool looking ride, really looks sinister with the blacked out wheels and 6' lift. With that high a lift and 33" tires, How stable is it ?

 

Newbie here. Picking up a 2007 Double Cab Prerunner TRD Off Road next Saturday. Looking forward to gaining some modding knowledge here.

 

Aloha from the islands (Oahu). Just purchased my 3rd Toyota truck today, 2nd Tacoma. 2014 Tacoma Dbl Sport 4X4 (Super White). Although I purchased it today, I won't be able to pick it up until later this week. It's sitting at the pier waiting to be delivered to the dealership. Yeah...that's the way it usually works in Hawaii. I'm on a rock... But I'm excited and can't wait to use the forum to get ideas and suggestions from some experienced peeps. Will post a pic when I get my hands on it. It's kinda like waiting for Santa...you know he's coming in a few days, but you have to wait...haha

 

sticks really well, have no complaints about the setup at all other than I'd much prefer a long travel lift but thd dealer didn't offer it. Got my Taco for a rediculous deal and the upgrade package was part of it...2012 DCSB Prerunner w/14k miles - sticker was $29,k dropped down to $26k - $16k trade-in and $4k in upgrades. 35x12.5R18 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T. Toyota happy dance!!!

 

Bought my own Tacoma last December and I've had it ever since. Keep in mind I'm a little bit younger but I picked up a 2013 Base model Tacoma Double Cab 2.7L I4 for 24,470 out the door. It had 7 miles on it when I bought it and I look back on a year of driving it. After looking back I look down at my ODO clicking close to 20,000 miles.

 

Camden is a pretty cool town, my wife and I have lived here for about 4 years! I was born and raised in S.C. on and near the coast, even though we don't have salt water there is plenty of fresh around. If you love horses it is heaven!

 

Hooyah Rick! Welcome to TW and look forward to seeing your truck around the Island! Check out the Hawaii regional thread for some awesome members here on Oahu that will give you the shirt off of their back in helping you with knowledge/experience/lending a hand. Aloha!

 

Nice taste in rides.

 

New Tacoma owner here, but proud as hell so far. An '06 SR5 Sport Double Cab. Looking forward to some good info and project ideas on here.

 

Hey everyone.. 1st time truck owner and I went with a Tacoma. New to the forum, so still figuring it out! Hope to gain some good knowledge on this forum, and looking forward to customizing the truck as well!
