    Hi All, after lurking in the forum for a year, I finally found my new (to me) Taco

    It was the knowledge gained primarily from this form that allowed me to search for and find my rig.

    She's a 2016 Tacoma Sport 6mt with a pretty extensive list of modifications.

    I'm still adjusting to the change from Jeep life, but am really enjoying the rig more every day that I drive it. My first mod was a flat floor for the pooch that I learned about here :)

    Since the Jeepers are too busy "ducking" each other, we should steal the wave and make it exclusive, esp since Chrysler Fiat pretty much slaps the "Jeep Wave" on any and all Jeep models anymore. Seems like the Jeep wave is a thing of the past. I couldn't get a damn wave from any Wrangler (JK & JL) when I was driving the TJ last winter.

    I found it to be very much a regional thing. In Western MA everyone waved. In Rhode Island almost nobody did.

    I was ready to sell, (or more ideally trade), but have decided to keep the rig. I pulled it off CL, but that posting had been forwarded to a couple of different forums. There was almost zero interest, (a good lesson about actual value of custom mods). It was really a matter of committing to investing some cash in making the rig mostly what I want and dealing with the manual transmission. I have my topper now. Next up black wheels and a Prinsu for the topper!
