    image.jpg First ever Tacoma I've owned, 2016 double cab trd sport quicksand with long bed. Don't have many plans for it now maybe just some tint on the front two windows and removing the air dam. I traded in my 15' wrangler unlimited sport for this and I couldn't be happier

    Nice Truck!!! Removing the air dam increases HP 5%, but you lose 1/2 a quart of transmission fluid ;)

    Congrats! Good color choice too.

    I removed my air dam, but put it back on cause I was moving and have since left it on. Did't get a chance to see if mpg's were worse without it.

    The DCLB is longer than 16' though, think it's a few inches shy of 18'.

    Nice truck there buddy - looks great. Good luck with it and enjoy.

    Air dam removal can wait till you get proper tires on that beast!! Those stock tires are a little scary in the rain so be careful.

    See, you're already adding to the list. You're exhibiting symptoms of the mod bug already. Infection is imminent.
