    image.jpg So I turned 40 this May and I have to say I have the best wife in the world.

    She bought me a 2017 Tacoma SR 4x4 5 speed.

    I know it's not the off road but it's just what I wanted. I am the build it not buy it kind of guy.

    This one will be a slow build being that I am still working on getting my Rubicon JKU where I want it and have a Land Rover Dico that needs some love.

    I did build a 2013 Tacoma 4x4 offroad for my dad and have always loved it.

    Now it's time to build one for me.

    If I was shopping for a 2016+ it would be that 2.7SR4X4MTUtil package that you got. It is the utility right? I see the black front bumper. Happy b-day

    Well done friend! Welcome!! I have a non fancy sr5 model and couldn't be happier. You'll love it. I was just giving kudos to a guy who's ol' lady bought him some fuel cans. Your wife bought you a truck.

    That's a keeper.

    Happy birthday!!!!

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes, and yes it's the utility package. Still not sure what direction I am going with the build.

    Not sure if I want no lift and some nice wheels and tires or a small lift and some nice wheels and bigger tires.

    My jeep is on 35s and it gets expensive and for tires and fuel lol

    Although it's no gas saver that's what the daily driver mini is for.

    Been looking at everyone's trucks on here and lots of inspiration and ideas just need to plan it out.

    If you are on the fence as to what to do I would suggest getting some 2nd gen TRD aluminum wheels they can be had for sometimes as cheap as 120$/set. This is what I've seen a few guys do with their 2nd gen Ute package. Would be substantial weight savings over the Steelies, could translate to gas savings and good looks too. Would be interesting see some on a 3rd.

    That's awesome! After looking at getting a new bumper and doing a bunch of other mods to my crew cab off road... It would have made sense for me to go with the 5 speed sr like you have , those access cabs looks sweet as well!
