    VW bought back my TDI Jetta, so I got the truck I've always wanted.

    2014 Access Cab TRD OR Spruce Mica <20k miles Certified Used

    Within hours of getting home I found a color matched Leer cap that had just been posted on Craiglist. Made an offer the next day and it was on my truck that afternoon.

    I added a homelink garage opener and mounted it in my headliner. I had a bit of a panic attack when it wouldnt snap in place, but after scraping glue of the backside of the liner it eventually went it.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I wonder if the same cap made it back onto the same truck. Congrats OP!

    Very nice! Wish I got the wife an OR edition but I would just break it using that rear locker on a stock rig. Crazy what they can do stock and locked.

    Welcome to TW! Great color on the Taco.

    Love all the TDIs but bet the Taco is a better rig.

    Congratulations! Nice to hear someone got the truck they always wanted. Judging from the dirt road and lots of trees in the picture, it looks like your Tacoma found a good home. There is a ton of useful info here at TacomaWorld. You might consider a few minor modifications and upgrades such as tailgate anti-theft mod, an oil catch can, and verifying the correct fluid level in the transmission, just to name a few.
