    Hey everyone. I just purchased my 2018 Tacoma SR5. It's my first truck purchase, ever. I'm from El Paso, Texas. And excited to learn tips on being a first time truck owner. Really looking forward to conversion and insight into the truck game. Snapchat-936453943.jpg

    A tacoma was also my first truck. Never expected to find all these things I “need” for my truck. Lift, wheels, lights, rtt, bed rack, recovery gear.. the list is endless
