    Hey all! The wife and I purchased my/our 2023 TRD OR in Ice Cap back in November. I've been lurking around for a few weeks now, getting the lay of the land. I guess it's about time I create an account and say "hi"!

    I'm not new to Toyota (I've been buying/driving/racing/modifying Toyotas for a couple decades now), but I am new to Tacomas. I'm trying to be slow on the mods, saving money in the process, but it's a little difficult to be patient seeing all these great looking builds on this forum! So far, I've added step rails, bed lights, bed extender, a CatSheild (this is SoCal, after all...), and footwell/cupholder lights.

    I look forward to getting to know you all and earmarking more money for mods (to the wife's chagrin)!

    Yeah, the wife's Rav4 Woodland Edition is arriving this Monday. I already have the CatShield for hers on order. Hybrid cats are much more valuable to thieves.
