    Hello All,

    I recently got another Tacoma, and I am smitten (again). Previously, I had 2007 PreRunner, a 2012 4WD 4Runner, and came back to a 2008 TRD OffRoad. I feel like I got a screaming deal - I bought it, as pictured, for $12k. I immediately put new CV Axels on it (the boot was ripped, and when I pointed it out previous owner seemed like he honestly didn't know how long it was like that).

    She's got 190K miles on her, and I plan to put another 100k on it. Interior is *immaculate*. I will say the one thing I am currently concerned about is that it seems to shake/vibrate more than I expected, but also, I've never had a roofrack+shell on the back. Any advice/input in this regard would be greatly appreciated!

    Looking forward to completing some of the mods posted here.

    It definitely looks like a lot of truck for the price. If the roof rack and shell is what you're saying is vibrating and shaking, you can isolate the problems and fix that. If it is unrelated moving parts doing that, it will require more work, but for the price, probably not a huge deal.

    I have a shell and don’t have any vibrations so maybe it’s the roof rack, if you think it’s one of the two.

    Nice truck!
