    Here is a shot of mine. I have two trucks, my Taco and a 97 Ford short bed that I use as a beater. No cap on the Ford.

    It seems like the guys in Texas like the DSM color more than other parts of the country.

    I found my home:)

    I'll upload pics tomorrow. But me and 2 other tacos are the only DSM's around here in a sea of Blue, Black, White, Silver, and Red tacos.

    Not to mention the only modded DSM...

    Was even asked if I had it painted at a shop after I bought it, I guess there really was a short order of these at the dealer.

    You are gonna love that color, I sure do. I patiently waited 2 solid months to get mine that color. Road splash and dust can not be seen 30 foot back from it as it is the same color, around here anyway in North East Texas. Welcome to the forum, some great guys and gals here and tons of information. :) BTW, 56K and no problems except getting the 4 leaf TSB done.

    noticed the color helps hide the dirt well but the rims on it are going to be the only thing Im worried about. Just got to keep them clean so they dont pit or rust. Nothing looks worse then chrome wheels rusted/pitted.
    I work in a car wash and can tell when people dont take care of their wheels.
