    Stock!!!
    Hello Everyone! New Tacoma owner from Texas here. Just purchased a 2017 TRD Off-Road 4x4 in Magnetic Gray last night. This is my first Tacoma! No mods yet, still trying to learn the road mannerisms of the truck. My previous vehicle was a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a 2.5 inch coil lift and 35's. Needless to say the ride is way different! Anyway, I look forward to learning as much as possible, and seeing what this truck can do!!! :thumbsup: BTW, YES, I miss my Jeep already!

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    Welcome. You will find plenty of mods to keep your mind off the jeep soon enough. And when you need to throw something in the bed you will be happy.

    Welcome. I too was a former jeeper. However I have grown accustomed to the creature comforts. And going back to a stock ride height has made for a great ride. I love the truck and you will too.

    Of course It was kind of funny when I had the dealer take a picture of me and my boy with my old jeep though. Said he never had anyone ask for a pic with the old vehicle.

    I just switched from a 2005 TJ last month. My Tacoma has a 3" lift and I can' wait to see what this truck can do.
