    Ok, so this is my first post, first forum. I just purchased a 2003 tacoma, 4x4, TRD, doublecab. I have been wanting one for a while and finnally everything fell into place. You all are going to have to bear with me because besides the fact that I love toyota tacomas and this is the truck that I always wanted, I dont know crap about these vehicles. I dont even know how use the 4 wheel drive on it, so if anyone wants to school me by all means do.....

    Anyways I've already bought some wet okaley seat cover for the truck, all weather floor mats, and a replacement passanger door handle since some a-hole tried to break into it on the lot.

    I live on the coast and go to the beach and surf around 3-4 days a week, so I will have to find out some way to prevent this thing from rusting. (suggestions)

    I plan on putting a lift on it and some black wheels, (suggestions)

    Here are some pics, tell me what you think,
