    The Basic Taco Build​

    I'm 19, and me and my dad were searching for my 1st car. Our intitial plan was to purchase a 2016 Audi A3 with a rebuilt title, but the deal didn't go through. My attention later shifted to Toyota vehicles... specifically 4Runner, and Tacoma trucks. We searched for a couple months on different sites, but found that all Tacoma trucks were in rough shape, and still being overpriced. Then in early November, I logged onto Craigslist Dallas and spotted this truck. We called the dude, wired him the money, and sent a relative to go pick her up. She's well taken care or now :D

    I love the look of the oem. I'm not even going to use it, I just like the looks of the side rails.
