    Hey All, Just purchased my first brand new car a 2012 reg cab tacoma. I have been searching out a new truck for some time now. And thanks to Tacoma worlds forums i know i made a good choice in a vehicle. I look forward to reading about future upgrades i will be doing and posting some of my own opinions about the mods and other general stuff.

    Thanks

    i have always taken my cars to the tire shops directly, that way i can get a better visual of what im getting.

    I wouldn't buy online unless you know what you want. hopefully that helps.
