    Hi everyone! I joined TW today after lurking for a while absorbing as much as I could to make my first Taco purchase yesterday. I got an Awesome deal from DCH Toyota of Simi Valley in California. Brian Lamb Sold me this 2017 DCSB OR in Sky Silver.

    Brian had this truck on order and it was exactly what I wanted. Sky Silver OR 4x4 with Premium Tech package, Tonneau Cover, tow Package and Carpet Floor Mats w/Door Sill protectors.

    I got to the dealership at noon and started the paperwork. As I was sitting in Finance Brian tapped me on the shoulder and said "There's your truck" as He pointed out the window to the street.


    My plan was to add new tires and wheels. My first instinct was 17" TRD grey rims... well, as I lurked on TW I started to second guess myself and started leaning towards the safe Matte Black 17's as I could not decide if the silver and Grey would look strange with the black plastic OR fenders.

    The truck went right to the lift and the stock tires came off.


    And I went with my Gut and I could not have been happier.

    I think the tech was sharing in my joy!

    Here's a Comparison:

    I waited anxiously as the truck was prepped for delivery

    After a wash and a fill up at the gas station she was ready around 7:30

    Brian Did an AWESOME job of making this all Happen.


    Couldn't wait to hit the dirt so I went to Gorman today and took some photo's:
