    Hello everyone. I'm not a Tacoma owner, but I'm right on the cusp of becoming one. I currently drive a Subaru Forester XT, which I love, but between home projects and hauling around parts of my 68 Bronco I find myself really wanting/needing a pickup. Tacoma seemed like the obvious choice.

    That's really about it, hopefully I'll be an owner soon.
    Colin

    Thanks for the welcome. I'm trying to track down a trd off road 4x4 double cab longbox. I'm starting to think this configuration doesn't actually exist. It's a cruel hoax perpetrated by Toyota's website.

    Ok, it's official now. BTW, I take back what I said about TRD Off Road 4x4 2x cab long beds being hoaxes. I think I found the only one in the state.

    Thanks. I was not looking for blue, but I'm surprised how much I like it. Esp with the color of the TRD decal.

    Yeah. The decal and the flares give it a nice contrast.
