New Member from NJ

Howdy folks,


First time poster here checking in from NJ. Just recently switched over to a 2018 Tacoma TRD OR from a 2001 Cherokee XJ. I’ve spent many years on Jeep forums solving Jeep issues and I’m excited to get into the nitty gritty with the new truck.

I’m a Virginia Tech graduate (hence the name) and spend most of my time outdoors fishing or biking. If anyone in NJ/PA/NY wants to fly fish, mountain or gravel bike, let me know! Most weekends I’m camping doing any of those.

I’ve got plans to build a DIY camper for this truck based on the Ripcord plans so you’ll see me on that thread a lot. I’ve got the ARE MX on there now which is sweet, but definitely leaves something to be desired.

Thanks for reading and happy trails!

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

 

Trying to figure out how to add photos

 

Long boi!

Wanted one of those but couldn't afford it =)

 

I actually wanted an extended cab but Tacos are somewhat hard to come by in my area for a good price so I settled for the long boi. Driving around town is wayyyy different coming from an XJ with the same length and width as a Honda Civic.

 

Nice cap, extra room looks nice

 

Oh yeah it’s been great for camping. Haven’t even had it for a month and I’ve got 6 nights in it.

I’m actually looking to sell it for the diy camper im planning on.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Sad part is pre-COVID I remember haggling over a 2017 extend cab, long bed sport (in 2018) with like 20k miles and I couldn't get the price down from $32k haha boy if I knew what would happen just a few years later that truck went up in price so much.

Still happy with my little guy though, my son sitting in the back isn't as thrilled ; )

Welcome to TW have fun!
