    Hey y'all,
    A while ago I totaled my gold Tacoma hitting a dang deer that ran out in front of me. After I hit it, I lost control and hit a tree. The damage to my truck wasn't awful. But insurance totaled it :( I was heartbroken. adcdc32543924fedf8ff116993ba3f01_ce0182ff96fe0fef83ac18e1903e643c2a395fee.jpg 6c39049134715eed0158c8f510a81aff_d341b30dfccda95b2a34e3b7d4b2bc7a6ddeb248.jpg
    A couple months later, I bought another Tacoma and as much as I miss my old Yota, I'm loving this one! It's an 03 and when I bought it it only had 102k miles on it!! Just thought I'd post some pictures of the new one. eb952cd95ad3b5f40f4cf38beec31c64_a9a86a819ded5000d558eb102d8c572f1782721c.jpg c3e4a21a300c97726bd9a0db73195d00_ab81936687a9423a4972c85542cdb42305373ce1.jpg 885a30d17f0d9d26b70c98a5011a6929_436f278872e5dec5ae1b4ace6e65f5b6ccde198f.jpg fa09c8a6df5f8b1d10add86fa3d35788_e7b95dc0d08d5ad32ec1662269d454f0d0bd5683.jpg
    Hope y'all enjoy, be safe and God bless!

    It was pretty easy man. I got the VHT nightshades tint spray from auto zone, took my tail lights off, cleaned them really well, taped the reverse lights, and added a couple coats of that spray and let them dry.
