    Hey Guys:
    Just bought a '15 Tacoma DC TRD Sport 4WD and I'm loving it!! It's Barcelona Red, and even though I've owned several Tacos in the past, this is my first 4WD. It's pretty optioned up including the Entune JBL with Nav. I've had the doors dyna-matted for sound deadening, and I'm in the process of installing one of Bob Prim's self dimming mirrors. Eventually, I'm going to get one of the TRD Pro grilles too. I'll post more pics later.
