    working on it... :-)
    Hello, everyone.

    A quick note to introduce myself.

    Bought my first Toyota only a few days ago. 2017 Tacoma TRD OffRoad, access cab, quicksand. Only 14k on it and super-clean.

    It is my hope that this will be my LAST vehicle. At almost 54, if this truck will last me 25yrs, the next thing I'll probably be driving will be Rascal around the old folks home. I spent MONTHS doing online research every place I could find info, trying to find the most reliable truck on the market.

    Everything kept pointing me to a Tacoma - by a WIDE margin. After talking with Toyota (and Tacoma in particular) owners, I began a long and tiring search all over the country. A few weeks ago I decided to pull the trigger. It wasn't easy and I got a few ugly missteps (ugh) but finally found The One.

    I am anxious to complete the looks with a beefy front & rear bumper. Later on perhaps a very mild lift and *slightly" larger/wider tires. But for now I'm just enjoying how nice this rig drives and all the tech-laden doodads it's got. I feel like I need Commander Data to help me with all these newfangled gizmos! Makes my trusty old Cherokee seem like a buckboard wagon in comparison. LOL

    Forgive if I soon start asking lotsa questions. I'll try not to be TOO annoying. :-/

    Peace all!
    - Jinzo

    Welcome to TW.

    There will be some upcoming sales for Black Friday, if you can wait, from many bumper suppliers, or some group buys pop up too.

    Kiss your wallet goodbye.
