    Hey Folks,

    New member to the site and first time Tacoma owner (not sure what took me so long). Just bought a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport and I'm absolutely loving it....except for one thing. It's not the trucks fault, but had one of the Toyo Open Country AT30's get a hole in the sidewall this weekend. For the life of me I can't remember hitting anything, and it's barely been off the pavement, expect the time I took my profile picture.

    Loving everything else up to this point and way better than my Chevy and Nissan trucks.


    And here is a pic of my punctured sidewall on the Toyo's

    Nice truck! have they done anything with the sport hood to make it functional yet? Or still for looks only?

    I know they make kits to make them functional but i feel like its pointless to have a scooped hood if its not functional.

    Congrats on the new Tacoma, yes that picture of your truck looks fantastic.
    Sorry about the tire.
    Maybe you could do a separate thread in the 3GEN forum to let specific new owners know that happened.
    Not everyone reads this forum on issues or tips.
