    Hey TacomaWorld.. I’ve been lurking this site for quite some times since I bought my new truck in May. I'm not exactly a forum type so we'll see where this takes me.. I was in a market for a 2nd gen sub-20K, I have a brother who works as a salesman in Toyota who was going to help me achieve that.. Instead he found this trade-in I just couldn’t pass up. 2018 Black Taco double cab short bed 4x4 V6 TRD Sport with a few add-ones for under 35K! And only 187 miles! Guy drove it for 2 weeks ,Purchased on April 17, and traded back in on May 2nd..I bought it on Cinco De Mayo.. til today I still wonder what he traded for..



    We’re in Houston TX. I’m planning on making this a overland rig one day.. Hoping to do some overlanding in Wimberley, Austin and Big Bend.. maybe even out of state? I was able to find this Cali Raised Overland Bed Rack for a very affordable price.. predator steps, blackout and technology package were bought from the 1st owner.. nothing else has been added since the purchase..



    This is my first truck ever and I’m already loving it. I’m glad to be here finally.. Anyways, here are some pics..

    I don't know if Tapatalk is still supported, but I just use the native mobile mode. Not sure if that answers your question. Lol
