    I waited a long time to be able to afford a truck. I was in debt etc and working crap jobs. Well I raised up and got out of debt and drove a Mazda B2500 all rusty with no AC for over ten years so I could get a Tacoma. Don't Laugh! Hawaii is hella expensive!

    Did a few mods so far. KTJO seat covers which were great for the price. Xpel tint which is dark and rad. C4 sliders and a rear bumper to come. also some diode backlit fogs which took a minute to wire up with the backlight.

    It wasn't without its pitfalls. at 750 or so miles my windows got smashed by some chronics or shall i say lazy ass kids that live at grandmas house and don't wanna work. And then the termite kid smashed my bumper on Thanksgiving backing out of my neighbors house. WTF really?

    So Rims and Tires next. Maybe -10 offset? 285. If I am gonna offroad I gotta do the CMC. So will do that. then some racks and maybe a tonneau. So much stuff to be stoked about.

    Hope to get some good advice from folks here and maybe meet some locals who can help me figure shit out.

    Aloha!

    Congrats. Welcome to clan Tacoma.

    Just curious, what is the average mileage for vehicles out there?

    Congrats on the new truck. Whenever you are ready to ditch that fugly front plastic license plate bracket, before it does permanent damage to the painted bumper, just let me know.

    Still working on replies.

    Everything is more expensive in Hawaii. That sounds about right for the average miles.

    A used Tacoma was more than new the last three years or so out here.


    How much for the plate conversion?
