    Hey Guys....my '07 Prerunner was a good truck but with 169K miles, I decided to look for a replacement.

    I really like the access cab model, it just works for me as a daily driver. I rarely have passengers, so I dont need a back seat, we have 2 other cars that the wife and I can drive them whenever going out and about.

    So I was checking Autotrader last week and there was a new listing for a TRD but no pics. The dealer was close and I was bored at work so I thought I would buzz over. Drove around the lot but only saw 2 double cabs so I called. Sales guy answered, I told him I was in the lot and he said he would drive it over to me.

    Took it for a test ride and made a deal! It was spur of the moment and I called the wifey, she said if you want it, buy it. I was actually very surprised to hear her say that!

    The front end is obviously aftermarket, I'm more of a "stock" guy, but I like it. There are so many Tacos on the road, I like that it is a little different. Overall, the truck is in very good condition. It was pretty dirty but they detailed it for me.

    Do you recognize what I have here?! Thanks

    I know what the truck is! It's the aftermarket grill and headlights I was questioning.

    Thanks

    Nice rig, mate. No idea what grill she be wearing there. You gonna keep that bull bar on there? In this happenoing cat's humble opinion, it really blows the classic lines of your venerable access cab. Plus there is a thought out there that they defeat elements of the crumple zone, not to mention wreak havoc on any pedestrian/ bicyclist you are unfortunate enough to hit.
