    Never had a new vehicle before so I decided to make it a Tacoma SR. Bought a 2020 on 8-18 and want to jazz it out a bit so I joined this group.20200906_103447.jpg I replaced the steel wheels already and will make small changes here and there. I joined the site to get ideas from you all and maybe help someone out as well. I named her Raven, and I'm thinking we are going to have a lot of fun together.

    I live just outside of Omaha, NE in Carter Lake Iowa. Are you from Iowa too? I put my name on the map but there were hardly any names in Iowa and Nebraska.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Wrap the hood in flat black vinyl to keep the paint underneath nice, maybe. Clearly you’re one smart lady. Where were you 40 years ago? No, wait... where was I 40 years ago? Raven is going to be killer! Good luck! Edit: and some kind of flat black striping would be sweet! and a little sparkly silver accent. I’d be pleased to help you spend your money on Raven!

    40 years ago I was jailbait lol

    As for making Raven a killer, I will have some available cash in a few months to do some mods and I was looking into your suggestion of vinyl on the hood. I think I would consider doing something like that around the bottom of the doors. I drive out to the country to visit my daughter about once a week and I'm worried about rocks kicking up and chipping the paint.

    I'm doing her in red accents. I got some killer red and black seat covers and a set of red decals for my tailgate, 4x4, and other small areas to add a splash of color. Just waiting for a somewhat warm day to put them on. Come on Spring. I can't wait.
