    New guy here. First Toyota and first Tacoma. Fourth personal truck (1963 Ford 100, 1995 Silverado Z71, 1996 GMC Yukon 4x4) lots of cars & motorcycles.

    So I got the bug and jumped into a 2019 TRD off road double cab short bed in Cement color. I wanted the Quicksand but they wouldn't let me have it with the options I wanted.

    I've got an ARE MX cap ordered and a set of rock sliders from RCI ordered.

    I'm shopping for a winch bumper and rear bumper. I had an ARB with a 12.5k Superwinch on my Yukon and really have liked that product combination. My only gripe about it is the amount of length it added to the truck. The Tacoma is already longer than my Yukon so I'm shopping to see what else might be possible.

    Greetings!
