Sweet Caroline (Formerly - The Tacoma Without a Name)

So I traded in my 2011 Tacoma TRD OR for a new 2018. It's only been 4 days and I don't regret it at all. The cement grey has already grown on me far quicker than expected. For me this is a new beginning since my previous Taco was preowned and it turned out had some damage and mod leftovers from the previous owner. (Previous Build: Built by Adventure)

Also looking for a name it, so I put a couple in a poll but if you have suggestions or want to share what yours is named just post a reply.

Bite my shiny metal ass

 

Finally got around to taking a picture of the bed rack after I installed it. Transferred right from my 2011 with no issues.

 

Figure I should probably start posting updates instead of just updating the original post.

Yesterday got her tinted with 35% ceramic on sides and rear. Considering doing 70% on the sunroof and windshield at a later date

The new tint gives it a blueish hue which I'm really liking. Wish I could have gone darker on the fronts but not asking to get pulled over by MA troopers

 

Meso HitchPod installed today with Baja Designs S1 Amber Flood, Hotrod Offroad harness and Daveeasa Disable in Reverse Harness

 

Nice truck! I dig your bed rack setup

 

Thanks dude!

 

Been slacking on updates...

Got her ceramic coated



Took her up to Maine



And did the A/C drip mod from Vorra65

 

Looks good
