    2007 Red Tacoma TRD
    Been creeping hard the last few days so I figure it's time I go ahead and introduce myself. Just bought my first Tacoma this past Monday (2/5/18). My first truck was a red 1988 Toyota Pickup, 22R standard cab. Loved that truck, but over the years I have only had one other Yota, a 1995 4R that I had for a real short time. For me it's always been full size trucks or jeeps. Well that all changed last week. So far I'm in love and I've been on the forum here non-stop looking for new things to do/mod. But so far all I've done I changed the head unit and added bluetooth. But anyway, here's what I got so far:

    2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport
    Radiant Red
    Rough Country 2" Leveling Kit
    20" XD Wheels wrapped with 275/60R20 Terra Grapplers (hopefully these will be gone soon though)
    Kenwood KDCBT372 (previous owner also added a pretty good sound system, we'll see if it stays)
    Upgraded headlights (don't know the make, passenger side has water so it's on the short list for repair)
    Upgraded interior lights
    Unknown brand bed cover
    Locking tailgate mod already completed.

    That's all I can think of right now. Thanks in advance for all the help, and the help already offered that ya'll have taken the time to put on this site. I look forward to moddin and enjoying this truck right along with ya.


    Here she is, just as she sits upon purchase (for now).

    After buying, I took my little knock around Honda and put it up for sale so I let my girlfriend drive the Yota (makes it easier for her to be as excited me if I let her drive it). Well, that may have been a bad idea cause now she wants to drive it all the time.

    Also got it out yesterday to the range. Man I love being back in a truck!!!

    And for your viewing pleasure, here's a 16 year old Mikey in his sweet sexy truck. It all started with this little red yota and since I have owned a handful of red vehicles. Just can't help myself, I'm a sucker for red.

    Nice. I have a blue 1984 Toyota Pick-up and a blue 2015 Tacoma DCSB. I'm a sucker for blue I guess.
