New Member - 2018 SR5 4WD

Hello from southeast of Atlanta!

After selling Toyotas in the early 2000s, my Uncle having a 2005 Tacoma, and my parents owning a 2011 Tacoma... I finally picked up my first Taco the day after Christmas from Carmax. I really wasn't in the market for a new vehicle at the time, but when I saw the inflated trade-in price I could get for my 2019 Lincoln MKT (3k over what I paid for it), I pulled the trigger.

Here she is as she sat at Carmax.



I don't have a recent picture because it's embarrassingly dirty. So far I've swapped the factory Firestone Destination LE2 tires (which started to dry rot) for Michelins Defender LTX M/S (99% of my driving is on asphalt so I went with a road tire rather than an all terrain), and swapped out the dash speakers for the Subaru Kicker upgrade. Oh and got rid of the Carmax tag for a Philadelphia Eagles one.

Currently pending: (I have the parts just haven't had the time)

1. Swapping the rest of the speakers out, hopefully the weather cooperates this weekend and I can get that wrapped up.
   
2. Installing running boards.
3. Blacking out emblems.
4. Installing vent visors.
5. Installing LED lights all around.

Later on:

1. Tint to be installed on the 2nd, still deciding if I want to just do the front windows or all around, and what percentage I want.
   
2. Add a subwoofer/amp to stereo.
3. Swap stock shocks out with Bilstein 4600s. I've had them on other vehicles and I love the ride quality upgrade they typically offer.
   
4. Maybe an intake and or exhaust? As someone that's always had V8 trucks in the past, it's hard for me to find a V6 exhaust I like.
