    2021 Tacoma TRD Pro 6MT in Lunar Rock
    Hello TW!
    This is my 4th tacoma, 10th Toyota. From a bagged 96 tacoma to my 2011 & 2018 4x4 TRD off-roads, a few tundras, pickups and the family 4Runner we have arrived back at another tacoma. I absolutely LOVED my 2018 TRD 4x4 off-road but that goofy ass automatic drove me nuts! Traded it in for a 2019 tundra trd 4x4 (too much truck for us) and swapped that for a 2020 Crosstrek with a manual trans. Decided to quit dicking around and just go for it. Picked up a 2021 Tacoma TRD Pro, 6MT, Lunar Rock. Been waiting since December 2020. it came with the TRD 4x4 off-road steeeekers, those came off the night I got it home. It's getting tinted at the end of the week and I've replaced all the incandescents with LED (sans brake and rear turns).
    Planned upgrades:
    - sliders
    - transmission, transfer case, gas tank, rear diff skids. I'll be retaining the stock TRD one up front.
    - Extend the diff breathers
    - 285 KO2's when these wear out
