    Well on 9/20/2012 my 06 Scion Tc was totaled. =( I was stopped at a red light and some girl in a Chevy Tahoe rear ended me and destroyed my TC. I will say it was a great car and kept me safe. I was able to go dirt biking the next day! Unfortunately the car was not as lucky.

    Scion Tc with my friends WRX:

    Tc Rear after crash:

    That was my first car and I loved it. 2006 Scion Tc 5 speed with 45,xxx miles. Anyways I recently purchased a dirt bike over the summer so I figured I would look into a truck since I have been using all my friends vehicles. I wanted something small and fuel efficient and out of all the trucks that meet that criteria I liked the Tacoma the best. So on 10/06/2012 my dad got me a 2013 Tacoma access cab and so far it's more than I could have asked for. Very comfortable and can do everything I want. Also the 2013 head unit and audio system sounds pretty good.

    Here's the new Taco. I'll get more pictures tomorrow:

    Anyways I've been lurking this forum for the passed 2 weeks and I must say there is TONS of information about everything. Also looks like we have a good group of people here so I'm glad to join in! On a side note if anyone has any answers for these questions it would help me out.
    1) I'm looking into the factory xrunner sub. I've looked at so many different threads about it. Has anyone successfully done it or know if it's possible?
    2) Since I have dirt bikes I was looking at bed extenders and I have found that the ReadyRamp looks like the best solution for me. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with it?
    3) While researching bed extenders I found threads about how weak our tail gates are. My Taco is a 2013 and I believe years after the 2008 have the "reinforced" tailgate. Should I be worried about loading my 250 pound dirt bike on my 2013 Taco? If so is there anything you would recommend doing to prevent the bending?
    4) I have a 5 lug which doesn't come with fog lights. What looks to be the best complete fog light kit for the Tacoma? Anyone have any aftermarket kits? Pics and comments would be awesome!

    Well thats it for now. I'll get some more pics for you tomorrow!
