    This build will be extremely slow, but eventually it will actually go somewhere, hopefully. This is my second Tacoma, a 2007 TRD Sport 4x4. I purchased it September 12, 2014. My first was a base model 4x2 That I picked up sometime in July 2013. It probably wasn't the best idea to move up to a larger one when I hadn't finished with the first and on such a limited budget, but this was too good of a deal to pass up.

    This is my old 2008:

    Picked up a touch up paint marker today so I decided to remove my mud flaps.

    Latest pic. Also got a pretty decent scratch down the top of the roof from a cottonwood tree.

    In the past few years, I’ve done the following-
    • Added-Rokblokz mud flaps, red map lights (to replace the blue ones), Weathertech floor mats, Cooper Discoverer A/T3 265/65r17,Pelfreybilt transfer case skid plate
    • Removed-Truxedo tonneau cover (sold), Westin side steps (sold)
    Most importantly, I paid it off in April, so now I’m saving up for moving after graduating college this next year. Here’s a couple of photos.
