    Ordered a Brand new 2016 Silver Tacoma TRD OR DCSB. I've been drooling over this website for weeks while waiting to figure out what all I want to do when I finally get it TOMORROW!

    Right now first mods are a Brush guard and Light bar. Any and all suggestions welcome! Glad to be in the club! Will post pictures later.

    Thanks all! I'll check out the Texas region thread. Just finished going over all the gloom and doom stuff I'll need to check and double check at the dealer tomorrow (U-bolts, U-joints, Hood vibrations, ATF levels... augh) luckily I had read the forums, and asked the dealer to do inspections on those which is why I couldn't pick her up today. Highly recommend FOX Toyota in El Paso if any other El Pasoans pop-in - they've been great to work with.

    And the day has finally come! Ended up getting her very late in the day on Thursday, but went and tested her mettle out at Red Sands in El Paso today.

    Album of Pics here, took a GoPro video of the trails too, will have to edit that down, but will post link later.

    Picked up and installed Bull Bar today when I got home, had to order the light bar... and the tinkering begins.

    Hopefully the winds stay down! Yesterday we had to cut out a bit earlier than we would've liked with the winds picking up.

    Going to Cattleman's in Fabens via the off-road route tonight which starts right there off of far east Montana with some friends in their Rubicon's, can't wait for the Taco to slap them silly.
