    Hey there...

    Put a deposit down yesterday on a new 2012 Access Cab TRD Off-Road w/ tow package. Just impatiently waiting for them to find one in the right color (black). Would have it today, but wasn't thrilled with the spruce (sorry spruce lovers, nice green, but not my thing). I am extremely impatient for my new truck though, been waiting decades for a new Tacoma, and the day's almost here.

    Been reading through the backlogs of post and this seems like an awesome community. I don't even have the truck yet and you guys (and girls) have me already thinking what I'm gonna mod.

    So I figured I'd join and say hey.

    So. Hey. :D

    It's killing me. Probably a week they said. How am I supposed to get anything done this week knowing my truck is out there, confused and alone somewhere, and not safe in my driveway.

    /sigh

    Not yet! Making the list as I type.
    Welcome!! I haven't done a single mod yet. Just a year old and so many ideas of what to do just haven't yet. Trying to get that house first.

    First things first, the absurd cream pinstripe the dealer put on has got to go.

    Probably just stick with aesthetic mods for a while, to keep the "New Truck" thing going, but, as soon as my bank recovers from the purchase:

    New Graphics, Tube Steps, a Pop'n'Lock, retractable tonneau cover, brush guard/light bar.


    I went the other way, bought the house a couple years ago, and now the truck.
