    2017 Inferno DCLB TRD Offroad
    Hey y'all!

    About 2 weeks ago I purchased a DCLB Inferno TRD Offroad. Figured I'd post here and introduce myself. Being a former (and current) Jeep owner, I can't leave anything alone so I have already started some small mods;

    Matt Gecko bed and hood lighting wired to a Blue Sea fuse block is all I have done right now. I have some ditch lights on order as well.

    I'm trying to do things a little different that I had with my Jeeps, now that I'm a little older and more "mature" now. This is my daily and regularly makes trips from SC to VA, inbetween and this summer will be headed to WY for a few weeks. Currently I have no plans on lifting it. I'm short and now have a bad knee and don't plan on going anywhere where I will need the ground clearance. As I begin to add weight I will definitely reevaluate.

    As of right now my only plans are (can and probably will change often):

    Bed and hood lighting
    Ditch Lights
    Dual Battery
    Bed mounted compressor
    Wheels and tires; I havent decided on wheels yet, but I plan to go with a stock size Duratrac.
    Gears. Maybe? Anybody want to chime in on re-gearing with stock tire size? (preliminary search on stock size with gear has not been fruitful; will try later).
    Miscellaneous interior mods.

    Very happy to be in the Tacoma family.:bananadance:

    Welcome. I’m a Tacoma/Jeep owner also. I’ll never not own a Jeep, but the Tacoma is a nice addition to the group.

    Bought used Dec ‘19 with TRD pro grille, grabber ATx tires 285/75r16, small unknown lift kit. Installed TRD Grille accent lights, Anzo headlights. aluminum running boards.
    Welcome! I had a wrangler JK that I tinkered with (a lot) as well. But I had a chain of bad experiences with Jeep/Chrysler and their stealerships so I looked to Toyota. I’ve owned it for a little over a month now and I already had some stuff done to it, and this time I’m trying to keep things lighter weight and reversible back to stock if needed.
