    2020 Tacoma TRD Pro
    Greetings from Little Rock! Not much of a poster but long time lurker. I had a 2011 TRD Sport that I loved for almost 8 years. Got the itch to have a sports car and traded it in for a 2015 M3. Amazing car but the novelty wore off rather quickly. About a year later, I found myself ready for another Taco and couldn't resist to pull the trigger on a Pro. I didn't realize how much I was missing my old Tacoma until I started driving my new one.

    I'm really happy with how the magnetic gray looks. I love the white but my last two vehicles were also white and I just needed a break from the color. Didn't want black. And the new army green looks great but it's not for me.

    No majors plans for it other than some decent tires soon and fine a bed liner and cover. Was missing my days of getting lost the in woods and the M3 just doesn't take me there :D

    Sorry for the quality of pics. The first one was the day I got it and it rained then and for a few days after too. I finally got around to taking some sunny pics after Thanksgiving but not the cleanest anymore. Which makes me wonder if I should have gotten the mud guards. Does anybody have any recommendations for some or should I just take it back to the dealer and get them to install the OEM ones?

    *My bike is a 2009 Vulcan 900. I was really hoping I could get the red Fox Springs to match in the picture with the accents on my bike but the lighting wasn't very good. Oh well haha.*

    Welcome! Very nice truck! I did a similar thing, except I had a BRZ that I got a little bored of and sold to get my Tacoma. I absolutely love sports cars, but there's just something about having a nice truck.

    I couldn't agree more. I'm going to miss the BMW but it's only feature was 'going fast' haha. The truck just offers so much more. Plus the day-to-day ride quality is so much easier in the truck. In a perfect world I would have both, but I don't live that kind of lifestyle yet :D

    A buddy just put a Lomax on his 2019 SR5. I really like it and it's high on my list. Did you do any kind of weather proofing during install or does it keep out water pretty well on its own?
