    Got my first Tacoma a few weeks ago, I found this place, and just browsed around for a while to get familiar with the environment and rules, and just decided to jump in.

    I sold this:IMG_1326.jpg

    Got this (2020 TRD Pro, MT):

    IMG_5059.jpg

    Requested the allocation in March, took possession in early September. It was worth the wait :D

    I've already done a few simple mods (tonneau cover, redline hood struts, some debadging). Strongly looking at OvTune (the truck drives nicely and shifts okay, but rpm curves are odd, esp in 1st). Probably gonna take on the MT ADM fairly soon also.

    I don't do much in the way of heavy off roading, mostly camping and some isolated dark sky areas for my telescope viewing and imaging.

    I've already gotten several good ideas from here, more to come, I'm sure.

    welcome from another MT pro, mine is a 2017. OVT & ADM are some damn magic on this truck, and of course that's not all. enjoy it and see you around.

    Yeah, I do kind of miss the long bed a bit, as I do haul around wood for projects quite a bit, but the Frontier also had the side effect of turning much like a cruise ship, I swear the turning radius could be measured in blocks :).

    I've been checking out the various OVT threads, and am definitely looking forward to pushing some tunes into the ECU:D.

    My ECU calibration is 04B91, and I noticed that the OvTune guys still had to update for that (though that comment was several days ago, it might be good by now). I still have to put together a windows partition on my MacBook, and then order all the bits, so odds are it'll probably be good once all that comes together.
