My name is tacomageek2017...

And, apparently I'm becoming a "tacomaholic".... :-(

Been a lurker since buying my 2017 DCSB Off road in Aug 2017.

Learned alot, done a few MINOR changes (Readylift SST 3/2, Heritage Grill, 1.5inch wheel spacers, Vinyl overlays on OR wheels, Pedal Commander, BakFlip MX4 for Christmas - not installed yet).

Anywhoo, just wanted to say hey to all, and ask you all to please just help me JUST DRIVE IT without any more "changes" (although I will do Wildpeak AT3's once these Kevlar's are worn out (at 11,306mi now). I'm NOT EVEN A TRUCK GUY DAMMNITT! ARGGHH!!!

I'm supposed to be just driving this taco to work everyday, and save the money for my "toy", but thanks to you guys, I'm duin it WRONG.

I actually bought the truck as a DD to retire my toy ('14 5.0 Track pack with Track Key - with 18k mi. in the garage) as I wanted to preserve my personal "last of the solid axle" pony's.

Glad to be here though... but please help me MAKE THE SPENDING STOP!! I'll never off road it (pavement princess admittedly), but dam I keep seeing the upgrades you guys are doing and it takes everything I have to only do the MINOR mods. I have a supercharger to save money on for my pony, and I really need your help not to spend any more funds on the taco....PLEASE.....

You guyz SUCK!!!!!!

 

Welcome to TW...... get a second job

 

Just wait until the sickness really gets bad and you start looking for a beater tacoma to keep miles off your new one...


Oh yah, welcome!

 

Welcome to TW and loads amount of debt.

 

Welcome!

 

Suggest you delete TW from your web browser bookmarks, then delete all TW history, then delete all web browsers on your internet devices, then sell your computer/tablet/smartphone, then cancel your internet service... aw hell, just realign your budget and funnel all discretionary spending into the Toyota modification money pit and ENJOY your great truck!

 

Have you visited meso customs website yet?
Have you seen the TACOMA letters that go in the dash you can get color matched to your truck?
Have you seen the ECT button relocate thread to put the button in the shifter where it should have been anyway?
OH wait, I am not helping am I?

 

NO.
MORE.
DEBT.
DAMMNITT!!!

Thats why I came out of the lurker "closet", to ask you guys to HELP ME!!!!!

Uhhh, this isn't gonna work is it???

 

The 1st step is...




admitting you have a problem

 

Ummm so what ideas are you wanting sooo we can encourage you not to do these things...?

Btw welcome

 

Actually I think the Wildpeak AT3's will be the end, and then maybe the covers for the the chrome rear bumpers, and then maybe, swapping the Borla Weld in muff for a Super 44 (already has Vibrant Ultra resonator with the Borla which I will leave on)...

 

Whatever you do, don't dare venture over to the 3rd Gen Builds subforum:

Nope this is going to go poorly for your recovery..... this is not AA!

 

Believe it or not it is possible to finish the truck! Sort of.

I think I made all my mods within a few months and called it good and I don’t think I’ve added anything since mid 2016. It almost feels good haha. Threw on some better tires, wheels, Magnaflow catback, OEM Audio Plus system, LED lights for the interior, and some mud flaps and removed the silly chin. Then called it a day and had fun with it.

Somehow already put 55K on her. Life’s good.
That and I just don’t have the cash anymore. Was a single guy with minimal expenses and all the sudden I’m married with a home and a child.

Still got to keep the Camaro around though because I just couldn’t go without a V8 in the garage.

 

Take it off-road already and validate why you have the Taco! Welcome and I was in your boat at one time. Lol
