    New member here. Don't actually have the truck yet but should be picking it up Tuesday evening. It's my first ever new vehicle and I'm pretty excited about it!

    Been lurking for the last couple weeks before finding what i was looking for.

    Anyways, The site seems to have a multitude of knowledgeable Tacoma owners and I look forward to hearing advice, learning tips and hearing of others' experiences.

    Cheer!

    And yes I've already got the Tonneau cover picked out that I'm waiting until black Friday to buy and currently researching remote starters.

    The bad thing about this Forum is learning about all the things that I CAN do to the Tacoma that I hadn't really thought of. Funny thing is in the DIY section there's a thread for building a doggie platform that I thought I had come up with the first concept lol.
