    Hello Gang!

    It's been a while since I've posted here but I wanted to share that I still have the Gen2 (2WD TRD Sport) that I started with. I upgraded it here and there along the way and absolutely loved that truck, so much that I'm moving up to a Gen3! On Saturday I picked up a 2019 TRD Off Road, 4wd with 34K miles on it.

    I will be giving my 16 year old son the Gen2 and will begin tweaking the Gen3 asap! It came with the OEM Tacoma tri-fold cover. I am going to upgrade the fogs, install a lower lightbar, floormats, mudflaps, and I'm trying to decide on siders or side steps. Sliders are expensive and take forever to get, so I'm kind of torn.

    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.
    Nice. I recently upgraded my truck. And I am keeping my 2007 sport for my now 8 year old. He loves "clutch" like she is family. Hell, the kid grew up in the access cab! He deserves it.
