    Hello everyone,

    I am 23 and based out of Chandler, AZ. I recently bought my first “new” car from a dealer few months ago and I absolutely made the right choice. I bought a CPO 2016 Tacoma TRD OR 4x4. I wanted a truck because of the usefulness they provide in everyday life but I also wanted something I can go have fun in and not haul a huge superduty all the time. The Tacoma was the perfect fit. The OR package and 4x4 was a must for me so I can really have some fun.

    The one I got was almost fully upgraded inside and even came with a nice hard cover tru-fold tonneau cover! Since buying it I’ve changed a few things and have plans for more. I’ve added Westin running boards, TRD Pro Grille, blacked out badges, AVS in-channel rain guards and 32” lower bumper light bar. Next up I plan on a leveling kit, new wheels and rims, Prinsu Roof rack with a light bar, and maybe some ditch lights. Everything is just so expensive to do all at once. Slowly but surely!

    I’ve done some real off roading and this car handles like a dream. I could use some more height to get into some of those more complex obstacles. But other than that, no complaints from me. It has easily conquered some creeks/streams as well.

    I’ve been using this forum for ideas, tips, and advice and so I’ve finally decided to create an account. This community is extremely helpful and I am excited to be apart of it!

    I added some before and after for your viewing pleasure. 0BDD6E32-0253-4DFC-B8A9-01C03812159A.jpg
