    2013 Barcelona Red Tacoma TRD Sport
    Hi everybody! 2nd Tacoma owner here. Bought my first Tacoma at the end of 2012. It was a brand new Barcelona Red 2013 Texas Edition (only had 4 miles on it!) and absolutely fell in love with the truck.

    My only problem I had was that I got a 4 cylinder and it just wasn't beefy enough to keep up with how I drive. So I just (3 weeks ago) ended up trading it in and got a Barcelona Red TRD Sport edition of the 2013 Tacoma (only wish it had 4 wheel drive). The coolest thing was that I was able to convince them to let me swap out the rims, tires, and side step rails with the ones that were on my Texas edition. Not only that, I got them to place the Texas Edition badges on the truck as well. My justification as to why that is OK, is because it does technically have some Texas Edition parts on it...plus the badge looks cool.

    I have already replaced the map and dome lights with super bright LEDS and replaced the OEM shift knob with the RAV 4 sport shift knob.

    You can check out my build thread in my signature.

    Anyway, nice to be a new member. Hope to update you on upcoming projects. Here is a picture of my truck as it is now.
