    2017 Tacoma Off Road
    Hello everyone.

    I got a 2017 Tacoma Off Road April 5th.

    I have been driving a base model Nissan Frontier since '06. This Tacoma is like a Mars rover in comparison. I love it and my wife says Im acting like I bought a Porsche. :)

    So far all I've done is inspect every bolt, wire, doohickey, and thingamajig on it. I don't know what most of it is but Ive looked at it. I've done the standard stuff....

    LED Interior Lights
    Removed exterior stickers and badges
    Husky Floor Mats
    Recovery Strap and D-Ring trailer hitch
    Coverking Seat Covers (tore two of them of course but you cant see it. you don't have to tighten them down like cargo straps.)
    Pop&Lock Tailgate (the instructions on these still isn't through).

    Tonneau Cover is next but gotta save some scratch for that.

    Lackland laser. it's been 20 years since I heard that. I bet they still call it. we had them at tech school in Mississippi too. a thick Mississippi morning pressing on a nasty draft beer hangover 2 hours of sleep and these dang yellow flashlights swinging all around you.

    good times

    KOs 285,
    Haha!! after lackland, I was at sheppard afb..... never saw the lasers again outside of lackland, got stationed at nellis afb and later on spent 90+ days in Saudi... longest 90+ of my life but nothing compared to where our brothers go now.

    but now we are also Tacoma brothers.... :) enjoy
