    None... yet
    Hi, I'm new here. Just got my first Tacoma and I love it. It was a long time to save for it, but my family and I are very happy with it. I got a used 2013 SR5 Gray Double Cab with the power towing package. We're going to use it mostly for camping and fishing as my wife gets all pissy when my son and I take her Lexus and stink it up with trout guts... haha. I'll also use it for work here and there when I have to be on site (I'm usually in the office). I'm going to do two things straight away, one is to upgrade the suspension as I find it rides a little rough and really takes every bump hard. It looks like the Bilstein 5100 package with the rear leafs on Toytec is a good deal, but I'm not interested in lifting the truck more than an 1"-1.5" as my kids are young and it's a bit of an effort for them to climb in compared to our RX400h already. Also, I no longer have to prove how big my penis is, wife already knows and she still married me... hehe. I'd appreciate any comments on the 5100 package and whether or not you guys would have any other recommendations??? Second, I'm going to lock up my cargo and get a tonneau cover. I've read good things about the fold-a-cover G4 elite and I like the front opening flap. Any thoughts or recommendations on this? With the Tonneau cover, i'll get an automatic pop-n-lock to secure my tailgate with some led bed lights so I can see what I'm hunting for when we arrive to camp sites late. I've got a laundry list of other things I'd like to do, but for now this is what I can afford, the $4,000 stereo upgrade that will blow the snot out of my 2-year olds cute little button nose will have to wait... and it's better invested in her education fund.... right??? Your comments and recommendations would be appreciated!
