    Will do, there are a lot of forestry roads and lakes I will now be checking out. Traded in my Nissan Altima, that was a great car but nothing like the freedom of being able to go down any road or trail!

    I am so jealous, that is the exact setup I was looking for when I got mine. None of the local dealers had that setup

    My dealer told me they don't get or sell many of the blue or spruce green so at least I should be able to spot mine. There are a ton of Tacomas in this town but mainly, silver, white or black.

    Got my hose clamp installed on the tailgate.

    Now, what to do next?? ;)

    Keep seeing references to Dunlop's but mine came with Bridgestone Dueler H/T's. Change for 2013 perhaps??

    I ordered my truck, they hardly make any Red or Blue Tacomas...just lots of Whites & Silver.

    Are they the 687 or 689? My 2012 came with the Dunlops. I traded my tires in at Discount tire when they were less than a week old and got $250 credit on my new set.

    As far as your mod schedule...prioritize what you need the most. Like for you in the Great White North, you might want to get some AT/MT tires for the snow. Or get your all weather floor mats. If you drive a lot a night, you might want to install some HIDs or just some premium (whiter) bulbs. Or install a light bar with some driving/fog lights.

    You will need little things like tie-down straps or bungi cables, because as soon as your friends and family find out you have a truck, they will be calling to move big stuff. And you will need the basics like a good set of jumper cables, tow strap, or your ball hitch if you have a trailer.

    I just started working on my projects cause I like working on my cars when the weather is nice and it just started to cool down here in Texas.

    The tires are 684II whatever that means. Thanks again for the tips. The truck came with both carpeted and rubber floor mats but the coverage seems nowhere as good as the Weathertech's so that will probably be my next addition.

    A great weekend to all and Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Canadians!!

    Well, decided to debadge and desticker today. Everything came off nicely but the stickers leave far more residue than the badges. Now I have a blank slate to create with! ;)

    Unwashed because a big storm is about to pound us!
