    Hello all.
    I'm new to owning a Tacoma of any sort and a new member to this site.
    I am old enough to have owned some Toyotas from the mid 70's and 80's , and many trucks of all makes, but this is my first Toyota truck. It's a '23 TRD Sport 4x4, 6' bed. So far very happy with it.
    I don't plan on doing any off road, just trying to get to work and get out of my driveway and get up the road in the winter, (hence the 4x4), and occasional hauling, road trips, etc.
    Had it about 3 weeks as of this writing, and the only thing I've done is put a hard/ foldable tonneau on it, and designed and built some removable ammo can holders for over the fenders.
    I probably won't do much more than that, at least for the time being.
    Really hoping this will serve me well.IMG_20230530_190343241_HDR.jpg
