    Hey guys, i originally had a 2004 Tacoma TRD Xtra Cab 4x4. Unfortunately, I had a run in with some black ice and a retaining wall. I then moved to a Jeep Wrangler. It was okay, but it just wasn't a Tacoma. I have been looking for a double cab trd 4x4 tacoma 6 spd for almost 8 months. I finally found it today and made the deal. Here it is! let me know what yall think.

    here is the 2004!

    And this is the new truck!
