(Another) New Tennessee member

Been watching the forum most of the year and decided to finally join. Always owned Chevy trucks but decided it was time to get a small dedicated wheeling and hunting truck. So I purchased a 2011 double cab short bed back in June. Never had a truck this "new" only had 23k miles on it when purchased and it's bone stock. The toyota packages confuse me because this one is a base model yet has power windows locks, key fob, cd player, etc.

But I just got my 3" ome lift, 16x8 level 8 mk6 wheels, light racing UCA, and a set of 285/75/16 general grabber at2 tires to put on the truck. Just waiting for space to open up in our garage so I can begin the build.

The first picture is the first day after I bought the tacoma and the other photo is the reason I decided to go with a Toyota, spent a day following a couple of hilux's around the trails. (the green jeep is my wife's 2007 jk sahara)

 

Welcome man.

Did you say Hilux? In Tennessee?

 

Welcome!

 

Those hilux's are over in NC at a training facility a friend of mine runs. Most of those vehicles in the photo are diesel.

 

Where in NC ?

 

Next to Uwharrie. Not sure of the city? We went over for a camping trip and got the chance to check the trucks out. My profile picture has his company name and my goofy a$$ standing next to one of his trucks.

 

& diesel...want...badly

 

My last 2 trucks were diesel...it was hard to go back to a gas burner.

 

Toyota diesel or?

I had a PowerStroke. Cool truck but, man was it was a maintenance pig.

 

No they were chevy duramax. Traded a 2006 crew cab 4x4 2500hd in on the tacoma. Wish it was possible to get a Toyota diesel here that wasn't 30 years old. Still wouldn't be the same though..but close. My 2006 dmax was pretty much stock but my 2003 dmax was far from stock.

 

Welcome!
