    2020 Red TRD OR DCSB Manual
    Hey everybody, I'm a first-time Tacoma owner. I traded in a 2017 F-150 for a 2020 Tacoma TRD Off-Road DCSB with manual transmission and I couldn't be happier. I've been lurking around the forums since I first started looking at Tacomas, but decided to pull the trigger and actually join in the fun. I've already done several mods based on stuff I read here (Meso vent rings/4x4 selector/AC control knobs/steering wheel emblem, replaced all the chrome door handle pulls with OEM black ones. If you can't tell, I hate chrome) and I have a bunch more planned, including new wheels/tires and a lift being installed tomorrow.

    I'm looking forward to continuing to make this truck even more perfect for me.

    It's a TJM kit that came highly recommended. Full coilover and leaf-pack replacement. I did a little looking around the forums before I agreed to it, and there wasn't a ton of info, but it seems good.

    I've been doing some overlanding and off-roading and the smaller footprint has been really nice. The small losses in towing and payload will not be missed in my use cases.

    I've got a TRD Pro grill on the way too. According to the guy I talked to on the phone, I got one of the last few in the country. Should be here this Friday!
