    I’m back in a Tacoma after cycling through a few Toyota models. I had a 16 Tacoma, ended up trading it in for a 17 tundra. Ended up trading that in for a 19 4runner. Now I’m back in a 18 Tacoma! So happy to be back. By far of all of them it has been my favorite! Many mods planned. I bought this one used. Looks like previous owner put on some KMC Rockstars. Not my first choice but we’ll see what we can do. I know the star is removable. Anyone know if there is a replacement for the star? I’m looking for something flat. Star is too flashy for me.

    Yeah I removed the star for now. Which helps with bro reduction. Only to uncover the fact that the lugs are chrome. One thing after another.

    Trial and error. Everyone has its downfalls. My tundra was amazing. Lots of power and space. But MPG sucked. 4runner was good. I just didn’t have fun driving it. Like the Tacoma and tundra. Tacoma was by far my most favorite truck. Does everything I need it to.

    Welcome back. I never left, lol. I'll probably be back in a midsize truck after we swap the TT for a motorhome. Nice truck, enjoy.
