    So I've had 2 2nd gen tacomas, both 06 and both were rolled (don't ask) One was an auto the other was mt and both were access cab. Both had suspension and other stuff done. After insurance paid out for the second in 2014, I purchased an 07 Silverado 1500 and quickly realized it wasn't something I wanted to stick with. I sold that in November of 16 and I took delivery of my new taco in March! 2017 trd off road 6spd manual dcsb in magnetic grey. A big selling point was that my two boys (3 and 6mo) fit fine in the back seat and I know this truck is more than capable off road. I love this truck!!

    On to the second part of my title...
    This website drove me to buy kings, total chaos ucas and all pro leafs plus other stuff for my old tacomas
    Now that im back in a taco, I'm back on this website and my wallet is just feeling lighter these days. Weather tech and softopper already on the way, wheels tires lift in the works, and so much more... f**k you guys : )

    This website is too addictive. Maybe I'll start doing drugs instead :bananadance:

    I went to tractor supply yesterday and bought a rubber stall mat. After 30 mins with a tape measure and a jig saw I created a bed mat. I'm really happy with how it turned out but the downside is that it's 3/4" thick. The one I bought is a 4x6 so its a little narrow after the wheel wells...It might matter to some but not me!

    First Mod... suggest taking off the front license plate holder with the advertisement and go back to dealer and ask them to fix the holed they drilled in your new truck bumper... o_O

    Ya drugs might be cheaper, as you will need to sell off the taco and walk every where

    Congrats and good luck, I know how much is your cars insurance by now. But the best position to be on in your neck of the woods is the banker. This is how the mothers make their money folks.

    It was in the dealerships allocation but I still had to wait a couple months before it came in.
