    2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road
    Hey Tacoma World, just a newbie from Norcal wanting to say hello! I just bought a 17' TRD Off Road last month as my daily driver and already have benefited from the wealth of knowledge on here, so thank you to all the contributors! I hope to join the ranks of those who have some helpful DIY's or build threads out there over the life of my truck.

    New member threads are worthless without pics, this much I know, so below is my humble submission.... First mod was to plastidip the stock chrome grill (obviously...). Presently the planned mods are going to be 30" bumper light bar, new tires and wheels when the end of the year commission check comes, K&N cold air intake so my neighbors know when I leave and get home, and many more I'm sure as I see other cool stuff on TW which is sure to impact my wallet...

    Glad to be a part of the community here!! Thanks my dudes.

    Thanks all for the warm welcome!

    Thanks @mattgecko ! Possibly the cheapest easiest mod I've ever done to a vehicle. The hardest part was being patient and waiting for it to cure before popping it back on the truck lol.
