    Hello members. Just picked up my 2010 Tacoma last night. Base, SR5, TRD short bed. Color is Timberland Mica. It has 55k on the clock. New tires (Dunlop AT20) and brakes all around. It will be my daily driver and double as camper towing rig.

    Joined up so I can read up on various accessories and modifications. Simple, bolt-on stuff like step/nerf bars, toneau cover. Nothing too out of the ordinary. I already love the way it rides. Much better than the Jeep I traded in for it. Looking forward to learning all I can from more experienced owners.

    About me: I'm a 50 something family man. Mechanical (tooling) designer by trade. Hobby machinist and woodworker. Been wrenching on cars since I was a kid. Current projects include supercharging a 1994 Miata.

    Dealer pic of my new ride:

    Thanks, guys.

    OrlPreds, I do, too. They had a blue one that was cheaper, but the PoS Jeep I traded was blue, and I didn't want to remind myself of that mistake.
