Finally found my first Taco

Hello TW!

I had been looking for a 3rd Gen Inferno for months and finally located my dream Taco down in H-Town a couple of weeks ago (I'm in North Texas). It's a 2018 TRD Off Road 4x4 with a manual and came with the factory cover. The plan is to modify it for work and play as I need to haul lumber and sheet goods as well as take the family out for some off road adventures. I just installed an UpTop Overland Alpha roof rack yesterday (the guys at UpTop were amazing helping me out), which has the matching paint on the grooveTek rails.

Upcoming mods include:

• UpTop Truss and eX Alpha cap (can't wait to use it to haul plywood and 16' trim boards)
• 2.5-3" Lift
• Wheels and Tires

Day 1:

Welcome to TW!

 

Congratulations on your find. Took me almost a month to find mine last October, and I almost lost it.

 

Thank you. It was hard to find these trucks locally on the market, and after losing out to two trucks late last year and another last month I had decided to give up my search—deciding to pick it back up in the Spring. Of course that same day this one fell right in my lap… and my driveway

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

 

Awesome!! Good for you! You did very well to find what you wanted. The Houston market, like most places, doesn’t have a lot of Tacomas available.

 

Nice truck!

 

Thanks!

It does seem like Texas Taco owners hold onto their trucks until death, and after having this truck for less than a month I can understand why.

 

I just ordered the matching UpTop Truss bed rack and eX Alpha cap. Looking forward To getting this truck on some trails this summer, and picking up some 16’ T&G board for our kitchen ceiling remodel next month.

 

Welcome to TW!

I like the Inferno color on these trucks! Yours looks great!

 

Welcome!

 

Thank you Matt! BTW I'm interested in your under hood LEDs, would you mind if I shoot you a question about them via PM?
