    Hi, Glad to be here. I Purchased a 2012 Toyota DC TRD-offroad 4x4 from my local Dealership about 2-3 months ago. I got pretty lucky on this one considering it only had about 3,750 Miles when I left the dealer with her. An older couple had traded it in on a 16' Tundra and only used the Tacoma for Vacation trips. I got word from a friend that worked at the dealer they had just got it the night before. So that next Morning I was on my way to look at her and the rest is history.
    I had a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7L Hemi 4x4. It had been Lifted with OME HD's which netted about 3" of lift. Also had 17" Jeep JK Wheels with 255/75/17 Kenda Klever's Mt's and Spidertrax 1.5" Spacers. It was nice but I had been wanting a Tacoma for about 6-7 years now and Let's face it the Jeep had it's Issues ( most of them being ECM and Solenoid Pack Issues). Sooo I had no Problem trading it in.

    And then the Tacoma !!!
