    The Beginning​
    It all started because I am very spontaneous and compulsive! One day in mid 2017 I seen a Cement Pro driving down the street and feel in love. I was driving my current DD at the time.... 2015 Toyota Prius (don't judge me, I drive a lot), when I seen that lovely truck then the search began. I owned a FJ Cruiser in the past and had to trade it in because I couldn't afford gas and my long commute at the time. The Tacoma reminded me of all the fun times I had with my FJ (mods, camping trips and off road adventures), so that's when I found this place and the "want" quickly became the "need". So on February 17th 2018 the next project began! 2018 TRD OR DCSB w/ Tech Package
    IMG_6805.jpg
    I cant even express the excitement I was feeling in this pic.

    IMG_6813.jpg
    I had actually purchased the grille before the truck, so as soon as I got home the electric shaver came off.

    IMG_6881.jpg
    I plasti-dipped the Tacoma badge (later removed) and removed the V6 badge. First weekend with her I took the kids out to look for some snow.

    IMG_6922A.jpg
    We found some! That was fun..... the addiction is growing strong!

    IMG_7053.jpg
    Then came the suspension.... what an upgrade that was!

    IMG_E7034.jpg
    Skipped leg day for a few days!

    IMG_7067.jpg
    OK.... now we're talkin'!

    IMG_6966.jpg
    Much different ride now.... that was a fun day out with my kids. They love our off road adventures.

    IMG_E7157.jpg
    Took a few hours off of work to go visit Demello and get my Hybrid sliders installed.

    IMG_2952.jpg
    This was the FJ..... I miss this thing.
