    2018 Cavalry Blue TRD Pro
    Greetings. I'm new here and am purchasing my first Tacoma, a 2018 TRD Pro in Cavalry Blue. As of right now, it is still on the truck and should show up today or tomorrow. The only option on it will be new Goodyear Duratracs that were negotiated into the deal.

    I've owned a Toyota for 8 years, a 2010 FJ Cruiser TT with a Toytec/5100 lift, LR UCAs, and 33s. My son has a 2005 4Runner with an Icon lift, 33s, ARB bumper w/ winch and full skids front to rear.

    I used to do a fair amount of hard core off roading, or at least as much as you can on the East Coast. I've had 3 Pinzgauers (including a 6x6) and one Unimog 406. It has been a few years since I've gone off road...my last major trip was to Tellico if that gives you any idea how long its been.

    The first mod has been ordered...SSP module. I liked the truck I drove, except that it tried to shift me into the highest gear as fast as it could. After that, it will probably be a BakFlip MX4.

    Welcome! This is not advice I often give right away, but a build thread would be a good idea. Then you can share some pics of your past toys as well!

    A previous truck...1976 Pinzgauer 712M. 6-wheel drive and fully independent suspension. Last pic was my brief transition from Pinzguauer to M3.

    Another previous truck. 1967 Unimog 406. 5.7L diesel with solid, portal axles and 44 inch tires on 20 inch stock steel rims. Full hydraulics front and rear including a dump bed. 20 speed transmission with a crazy crawl ratio...over 4000:1. You could get out and easily walk around the truck with it in gear.

    Its my truck on the far right in the first image. The last image is of it taking a nap.
