    As someone who always tries to make their toys as unique as possible, never in my life would I have expected such a devote following with Tacomas! The customizations are endless!

    I “used” to be a Ford guy. But that’s changed, I’m a new man and that all started here on Tacoma World!

    In a few days my 2021 Cement Tacoma Off-Road arrives and then the real fun starts!
    I look forward to no longer being a ghost follower and to be a contributing member of the Tacoma society!

    Man the similarities. I used to be a Ford guy. I've seen ghosts and I own a Tacoma.
    Hope I don't see another one. It scared the hell out of me.

    last week, change out all spark plugs. still have the original factory installed spark plugs, flash the automatic transmission, replace frozen front caliper with resurface rotor & new pads with total brake flash. hopefully next coming month, differential gearcase change oil... or replace headlight assembly, have a burnout plastic cover on the flashing & running light..
