    2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad Access Cab
    Picked up a silver 2017 Tacoma Access cab Offroad AT on sunday. Drove home and immediately changed out the grill with the Pro. Installed some mudflaps today and don't know the reason why they don't come stock on such a pricey truck is beyond me.:confused: Ordered an Retrax retractable tonneau cover and should be here shortly. Gonna try and see how long I can last before I change out these goofy tires for bigger ones. :annoyed: I've been in the world of volkswagens all my life and this is my first truck. New to the whole 4x4 truck world. Hoping to learn a lot on here.

    Nice! I wanna see how the retractable cover looks after you get it. Where did you order it from if you don't mind me asking? I'm from Kailua too so shipping may be a bit.

    Which Retrax cover did you order? I need to replace my Roll-n-Lock and so far the RetraxONE seems to be a pretty good value.

    That's the one I will probably get. Did you install it yourself? Comments, thoughts?

    Any issues with it so far? Thanks.
