    Hey everyone. New to the Tacoma world forum and life in general. Picking up a 2011 TRD Sport DCSB on Monday. Magnetic grey.

    I bought it used obviously and it's had one owner and that owner drove it like it had a egg under the pedal. So the truck is looking like it is fresh off the line. I am really pumped, I've wanted a Tacoma for a long time and finally able to get one. I drove it around for a while and loved the way it felt. I drove a 2005 Grand Cherokee for 7 years before this.

    I bought the truck with 94k on it and everyone seems to say that's just broken in

    Also the passenger side headlight has moisture inside of it. Any way to remove that without buying a new headlight?

    Look up the bhlm (black head light mod). You'd have to take apart your headlights and reseal them, and it's all covered in the DIY for that mod.

    I got a few other things. Not sure if my radio has the JBL audio system because I want to replace it with an aftermarket one. I would also like the replace the D rings on the bed, where can I find good ones? And lastly, map and dome lights in the cab, want to replace those with LED's. Where can I get the correct ones?

    Yeah there isn't any big things that are rusted. Only small things so I figured easily replaceable
