    I haven't been active on the threads in a while, because, well it saves me $$; but I decided to trade in my 2009 Sport Tacoma which I had completed the FOX lift, tires/wheels, URD Cold intake, grill, HID headlights, slider, bed cover, extender and many other upgrades... Now I start from scratch again with this new 2016, once the sticker shock wears off...

    I am still having a hard time that I let my 2009 go (hopefully the new owner is on here), I don't know if anyone else experiences this, but I sure loved that truck and all the upgrades I completed. Now I start a new chapter again.


    I love this new Blue however:

    There are a lot of 2nd to 3rd gen guys here. I loved my 2nd gen, and the 3rd I found is just a much more refined truck.

    MTN Man I did the same thing, just easier to take since my 2014 had basically no mods. Just waiting on my blue TRD OR to get to the dealership. Hopefully by the end of the week.

    Welcome back!

    My vehicles are my babies ... so I definitely understand; when we have to part with them.

    The good news that I tell my wife is that as an American, I will do my best to help stimulate and support the economy; as I browse the Internet and bookmark the new bumpers, lift kits, wheels, tires .....

    First upgrade happening this weekend... Needed the bed extender. :)

    I also ordered myself the HID and LED set from The Retrofit Source.
    I am loving this blue so far...
