    Just wanted to introduce myself... Name is Robert.

    Work for the state in downtown Charlotte, Live down near Lake Wylie.

    Just got a 2013 Tacoma DCSB PreRunner in July. It's not my first tacoma, but its definately the nicest.

    I had a 2000 Tacoma 4x4 with 3" lift, Custom Front Bumper, Tubular Rear bumper, Skid Pans, and Sliders.... Problem was it had over 160k on it when the front passenger upper ball joint seperated and sent me straight off a turn into a ditch.... not fun.

    Few Pictures after Debadging, Removing Mud Flaps, and Shortening the factory antenna to the same height as the cab.

    After Debadge (Only badge left is TACOMA on driver's side tailgate)

    After Mud Flap Removal and Antenna shortening (kept hitting larger supports in underground parking deck I park in daily, removed almost 12" to make it equal to cab height)

    I doubt it will be a monster, I'm gonna eventually throw a set of 5100s set to 1.75, drop a ToyTec 1.5" AAL and a set of 265/75R16 Duratracs on it. I do a bit of dirt road / Fire road driving during hunting season so I want a better A/T than these AT20s.

    Other than that I'm looking into one of the front skids from a member here on TW and a set of side steps and light bar (with no light tabs) from Avid.

    Nice to see so many members in and around the area!
