    Hey TW,
    I joined about a year ago after purchasing my new 2015 Tacoma off road in September 2015, I used this forum to get ideas and knowledge for mods but have never posted so I figure I should start now and this is probably the best place to start, I have done some cheap basic to intermediate/expert mods, and through the year and a half now of owning my truck I can't seem to stop, I started with maglite mod on the driver seat, didn't like the fact that the tail gate didn't lock so I did the electric pop-&-lock, led bed lights, Plasti dip badges, removed and replaced off-road 4x4 decal, cheap Ebay oval step boards (for the price they are worth it), satoshi grill (Self made) that was a learning experience especially since I have never done body work before (the @HomerTaco wait list was to long at the time, I'm still thinking of buying one as mine looks good at 10ft/10mph), I'm currently doing a headlight retrofit with morimoto projectors and led halos and I purchased an icon stage 4 lift kit that I need to install, and there is more to come soon, Thanks to EVERYONE for all the posts that help us make our trucks even better than the manufacturer had imagined and the ideas to do things we would have never tried before.

    Lol. I wish I would have done that. Instead I started pending as fast as I could read. I partially blame @ramonortiz55 for having group buy after group buy. He left me no money for hookers or cocaine. :annoyed:
