    Well my '15 TRD Off-Road was hit and totaled by a drunk driver (while it was parked on a residential street). Going to miss the old girl as she was the first new Tacoma I had ever purchased. The bright side is that this incident has kicked my ass into gear and this new build is going together a lot sooner than it was with the old truck.

    Found my way into another 2015 Tacoma. I was originally going to shell out for a '17 but I found a 2015 with 9,000 miles on it for an incredible price. So I flew out to Chicago, picked up the truck and drove it 1,000 miles back to Colorado. This was taken the day after I brought her home.

    Decided to swap out the color-keyed door handles for the black TRD Off-Road handles. I'm really digging the contrast the black handles made.

    Had black leather seats installed. I added heated seats to the front just in time for the Colorado winter.

    Installed the Lift. First time doing anything like that and I learned a hell of a lot about the truck. Really happy about the way it's sitting now. Going to be perfect when the Stealth 6's come in.

    Noice. Going to look good. Wish I would have gone with that setup in the front.

    Thank you! I'm really liking how it turned out. Still a work in progress but it's getting there.

    I currently live in Fort Collins but I'm constantly driving all over the state. The 275's took some getting used to on the highway. I'm not completely sure how much the ride quality was effected by the new suspension or tires as they were installed the same day. I've definitely gotten used to it though and I love them. Great traction in the snow, mud, gravel. Also not too loud on pavement. Hope that helped. If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

    Love the way the Stealth 6's look. Definitely all for that purchase.
