    i was in the OBX in late June. Had no problems with my truck. air down to about 17-18psi and keep your momentum up especially when crossing the dunes.

    YAY! So it turns out that the IV receiver hitch which is standard on the 2nd gen towing package can be used for either... so no more pricy trailer shop bills.. to go with my car payment... which is good becuase im already going to have to live off of ramen noodles for the next 6 years of my life.

    Awesome! Thats great news, I know my 4Runner did great in the sand but I wasn't sure about the Tacoma! Thanks!!! :D

    Hmmmm this was a long time ago, I know it's on the outside of a fancy custom home neighborhood... If you are coming from chesapeake and cross over the bridge it is right on the other side to the left..

    I bought the 2009 Tacoma, Double Cab, 4X4 TRD Off Road Package, Long Bed, Color: Silver Streak Mica (or well, I put money down so I can come back Tue. with my trade in)
