New-ish Tacoma owner new to the community. Hello!!

Hey,

I'm new to TacomaWorld and wanted to say hello and make an intro. I just purchased my first Toyota Tacoma, though my first car was a 1987 4Runner 4x4 SR5. Have always missed that truck and still have dreams of driving it again. Totaled in a head-on wreck at the end of High School. Not my fault, but never to be replaced. I drove a 1994 MazdaRanger 4x4 for 8 years then moved to California and bought my 05 Accord. Married and home-owning now, the car wasn't cutting it for now or the future. I drove back to MT and sold my car (long story, but it worked out well) and picked up the taco. SO... what it is.

1700 Miles (not a typ0) - Toyota Certified Used 2015 Tacoma Short Bed Double Cab 4x4 w/ Off Road Package. Still has full New Car stuff (toyotacare, b2b warranty, xm, etc) and benefits of Toyota Certified Used (7yrs 100,000mi Powertrain Warranty, Roadside Assistance). Got a sweet deal on a new truck at a barely used price.

Just got it home to California a few days ago and I'm grabbing a few accessories for now. A cargo net, plug for trailer hitch, divider for center armrest console, trd grille badge. Have one big question about mounting stuff. I'd like to put my mini-ipad somewhere in the center of the car, but preferably not on the dash or higher. Every site and thread I find has the owner replacing the factory unit with the ipad, which I don't plan on doing. I need it removable and somewhat near the 12v switches.

Planning on adding a topper at some point in the near future, but haven't done enough research yet. May increase tire size and/or lift, but that won't be for any time soon.. at least until the brand new treads are done. I've looked at that k&n cold air intake and it seems harmless, but want further opinions and to see other options for a bit more HP and Torque. Would be interested in adding a small amp and perhaps very small subwoofer to the taco, but that's not a priority in my life anymore and would def keep most storage space if it's a direct trade-off (and I don't have a topper yet).

I ramble and talk a bit, but lurk for the mostpart. Hello and I'm here!!

 

Welcome!

 

Picked up the SnugTop Rebel topper for it this weekend. Nothing fancy, but does the job.

 

welcome

 

Post a pic!Ive been lookin into some topper's.

 

I'll take another pic with light tomorrow, but here's the matched one. Also got the Toyota cargo net (stretched it between 2 of my d rings across the rear), added a Toyota trailer plug cap, Armrest storage divider, (totally fake) trd shorty antenna, and have been decking out the back seat storage with Extension Cords, 110 Accessories and Tools.

Anyone have a good way to mount a full-size maglite in the cab? or a mini ipad??

 

Also added a perfect match Matchbox version of my old 4runner to the dash. Red w/ Gold stripes.
