Future Tacoma Owner

If all things go as planned I'll be the proud owner a 07 TRD Access Cab Tacoma come fall/winter time!!! My step dad currently owns and daily's the Tacoma. He also has a nice Rubicon for hardcore wheeling, not a ton of that in Michigan though. It's Black, lifted, wheels and tires, the whole shebang.

I recently moved from Michigan to Utah and daily my Acura TL. I'll be keeping that to pile the miles on and have the Tacoma for wheeling and transporting dirt bikes / camping / sand dunes you know the deal. My step dad is a long time Toyota truck owner. All the way back since the 70's and 80's he's had Toyota's. Currently has the 2007 mentioned above. Most recently my brother just bought and 84' Yota with the straight axle. That thing is awesome.

I am too excited not to share with anyone my future ownership and just wanted to get involved in the Tacoma World Community. Anyways, just looking for all the tips and tricks that come with owning this particular truck. Already got the bug and can't stop surfing the forums here.

I am very pleased with the way it looks and functions on the road and on the trail right now. I have had the privilege of getting seat time on and off the road with it. Also great knowing how well its been taken care of being that I'll be buying it from family. He's had it around 6 years now and took if from stock to how it sits now. One of the first things I'll do is change up the grill. Love getting ideas from all the other Tacomas out there. In the future looking to do full front bumper with winch, rear bumper, and rock sliders. Won't wheel it all the time but living in Utah I plan to take full advantage of the Off-Highway terrain.

The build list currently is...

3" lift w/ Bilsteins
Timberen Bump Stops
Soon to have upgraded leaf springs (due to the recall), Not sure of the aftermarket brand.
33" BFG All Terrains (not sure of exact size)
Method Racing Wheels
Locker relay kit install (not sure if I am saying that right)
Tint all around
Has a hard, folding bed cover can't remember the brand
Also has the camper topper for the winter
