    '06 Tacoma XSP
    I've been reading these forums for quite some time now while researching trucks and mods. Last spring I finally had the green light to pull the trigger and got myself a 2006 Tacoma XSP. Various owners and auctions have carried it cross country as the XSP package is a South East US upgrade from what I've read. 100,000 miles when I got it and running great. So far I've installed some additional tie-down anchors allowing for better security of my dirtbike and upgraded the stereo with a GTA Car-kits bluetooth adapter. Obviously nothing major but it's fun to do more than just look at it - all the time!

    Next steps: I'd like to de-XSP it a bit. Get rid of the Enkei rims and go with something more dirt friendly. Then the Borla exhaust and intake will probably go. Why buy XSP and get rid of the upgrades? It was there and I wanted it!

    Happy to be part of TW! I look forward to staying up to speed on all things Tacoma.

    -Matt
