    Hi everyone. I recently purchased an 08 Tacoma TRD Sport which is my first 4x4. My journey here started earlier this year when I got the itch to build a GX 470 for some weekend adventures, but I had a hard time finding a decent candidate that wasn't hours away. About a week after I expanded my search to Tacoma's a local dealer took this on trade and the rest is history.
    I had no idea a place like Tacomaworld existed or how extensive the aftermarket support was until a couple of days before I bought the truck. Needless to say the amount of information and options are overwhelming and exciting at the same time. I have learned a lot already lurking for the past couple of weeks..this place is awesome. Anyway here she is....not the newest but she's paid for and has a budget of around 5k to make her mine. PXL_20210207_231004869.jpg

    Beautiful truck! And being in Texas, you shouldn't have to worry about the rust! Enjoy it, it should last you a long time!
