Hey TacomaWorld, I just got my first truck

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself and post a few pics of the 2007 Access Cab 5-lug I just bought. I've been wanting a 2nd gen Tacoma for awhile now. Mostly for some light hauling and trips to the mountains. Unfortunately, my budget for a new vehicle was pretty limited which tends to make things a bit more difficult after drooling over many of the Tacoma's I see here in the forums. However, I was able to find this 5-lug and for the price, I couldn't pass it up. She's got some dents and scratches and isn't a 4x4 like I wanted, but for a 2007 with 21,200 miles I paid $8000... I'm happy

Anyways, I've been lurking around these forums for a month or so and decided it was time to create an account now that I'm a Taco owner

Future mods:
Bigger tires/new wheels ASAP
Fatbobs lift kit
BHLM
Colormatch grill
???

Here's some pics after a bath...

 

Congrats man. Pretty much a new truck with those miles.

 

Welcome from N.J.

 

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks! I just picked up a set of wheels/tires off craiglist that I got a good deal on. Five Firestone Destination M/T 30x9.5 R15's (with about 500mi on 'em) wrapped around some Jeep alloys. Unfortunately, the front wheels don't clear the brake calipers and after comparing all of my options, I'm gonna have to resort to some wheels spacers. As soon as I can get some quality spacers, those wheels are going on and the truck should look a lot better.

Here's a preview of the new wheels next to the stock 5-lugs... (sorry it's blurry)



Test fit to see how they'll look once I mount 'em...

 

Welcome!
