    Howdy, TW.

    Virginia resident here and I just parked our new-to-us 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport in our driveway. As a long time Toyota fan (have a ‘79 Celica GT that’s as pretty as it is bullet-proof), we realized we needed a truck badly after our recent move. My wife and I kept having to borrow my father’s 2014 Taco to the point we simply couldn’t put off shopping for one. While it’s a lot more truck than we thought we’d want, especially with the 2” lift that came with it, my wife is already thinking of excuses to run errands with it. More important, our toddler loves it. Now we just need to find some running boards so she and my wife have an easier time getting in and out.

    Anyway, I’m glad I found this forum and can’t wait to get lost in the abyss of aftermarket goodies and pretty upgrades for “The Tick”.

    Thanks for the welcomes, everyone. This forum has already been a huge help hunting down "necessities" for our Taco.

    My poor pocketbook.......

    Welcome to the best damn Tacoma forum on the interwebs! :hattip:

    Head over to @Mobtown Offroad www.mobtownoffroad.com and check out their Overland Sliders for your truck. Running boards are nice but if you plan on going off road you can destroy them easily. The Overland sliders will last as long as your truck and work just as food as running boards.

    Thanks for the welcome, Matt. Not gonna lie, I love your bed and hood lighting kits. That may be a sooner-rather-than-later mod that will vastly improve the truck's quality of life.
