    Hello fellow Tacoma owners!

    As indicated above, this is my first Tacoma but third Toyota in a row.

    I had an 07 FJ Cruiser first, then a '13 Tundra TRD Rock Warrior Crewmax and loved them both.

    Now, thanks to countless hours sending emails and making phone calls I found a white '16 DBL Cab ORSB 6MT in Spokane, Washington. I must say it drives just like my FJ did, but smoother and almost scarily smooth. I purchased it a week ago today and now have 2300 miles on it. Getting it home alone put over 1800 on it (Spokane --> Tucson), but sure got me familiar w/it quick! I can hardly wait to wheel it. It came w/some fairly respectable tires too...I think. Nothing too aggressive, but seems to be pretty comparable to the BFG AT/KO's I'm accustomed to.

    I've already been looking around at available goodies for it (letter inserts for the tailgate and glovebox, exhaust, a cap to replace the stock tonneau, aftermarket roof racks, bumpers for a winch, truck bed use for camping, sliders, suspension lift, exhaust, etc.). This baby's gonna get some use and special attention.

    Anyhoo, thanks in advance for all those who've gone before me and engineered fixes to the many issues of this new 3rd gen truck and I hope to follow suit w/a solution or two of my own. That said, I've not found anything wrong w/it yet.

    I'd post pics, but I don't have any on this system and it's bone stock still.

    Thanks,
    Tom
