    hey everyone, first time truck owner, also the first new vehicle I've ever called my own.

    I'm a Southern California native and I switched from my long time love of Subaru WRXs which I owned, modified, tuned, and loved for years...but I needed something that could get me further off the road and so here I am.

    100 miles into the Tacoma so far and really enjoying the switch.

    I had a 2002, 2003 and 2004 sedan all silver and in sequential order - love them to death but after a couple days in this truck I don't think I'll ever turn back unless one day I can afford to buy one as a track only car. Every place I had to turn around at due to clearance in the subie is no longer an issue!
