    Hello fellow Tacoma owners!!

    My name is Jeffrey and I got my 2022 Tacoma TRD off-road almost a year ago. This is my very first truck and first brand new vehicle. So I immediately had the desire to change as much as i can about it from stock lol. I have been doing mods here and there on based on YouTube videos I have watched and a Facebook group I have been in.

    I got a black Tacoma and have been taking the time to black out everything I can to have a very stealth look. My friend refers to it as not a turd like most people but the Johnny Cash Edition. The last piece of the puzzle is tinting the windows.

    I joined Tacoma world because I'm getting to the point where I'm done with cosmetic mods and minor mods and looking to get into the "important" things. (Recently have spent some time trying to understand the suspension swaps and what all the parts do and what I "need" to upgrade.) So I have come here to search through and try to find some help out of this muddy water of things I know nothing about!!

    Thanks for letting me join and I hope to find some great knowledge on here to get my truck in better condition than when I bought it!

    Tacos (the kind you drive, not the kind you eat) aren't as popular here in Michigan, but there are a few!

    A TW thread that may be helpful is the MI Tacoma one:

    Welcome Jeff! Your bio says Grand Rapids so I think I've seen your truck before. Have you visited the Pet Smart on 28th St before?
