    Hey guys. I just bought a '12 TRD Off Road today. I have wanted a Tacoma forever. This should be fun. I hope it can tow my Porsche if ever need be, I think it can with an open trailer, but I am not 100%. It does have the tow package.

    Here are pics of the Taco and a Pcar pic for S's & G's

    Show off. :rofl:Nice car and nice truck. You'll enjoy the Taco. But being on this site may make you go broke quickly after seeing the mods you may want to do.

    I have been able to resist the mod bug on the 996, I think I will be able to on the Taco as well. When I do buy mods, they will be for the 996 because I do try to drive it as much as possible. I did just buy Wet Okole seat covers for the Taco because my dog will be riding with me in the truck a lot, got to keep those stock seats clean.

    @mattgecko Thank you very much!

    @Over da Hill Looks great! I would have guessed Seal Grey, but I think that color got stopped in the early '00s.

    I need to get rid of the chrome grill and bumper for the Sport ones. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where the best place to get them is?

    TIA

    You sure your 996TT is GT Silver? The only 996 that got that color was the 40th Anniversary 911. Awesome TT, nonetheless. Techart wheels are classic.
