    Hey, I recently picked up a 2010 Tacoma Access cab, TRD Off-Road, 4X4 Super White. I gave it a little lift and some new wheels.

    Got my first Taco and first Toyota about a month ago. I love it. 2010 SR5 double cab, long bed 4x4 in Black Sand Pearl. As I read over the posts on the forum, I'm still learning new things about my truck and getting ideas for ways to make it uniquely mine. Thanks for all the great info shared!

    Just took delivery on my first Tacoma, a 2010 DC. This is my third Toyota and I am loving the Tacoma. Have had an 03 Tundra and an 07 4 Runner prior to my Tacoma. Enjoying the forum and learning quite a bit.

    Introducing myself. New to this site. Not so new to Toyota or Tacomas. I purchased my third Tacoma (seventh Toyota pickup) on 4/3/2010. I cut my teeth driving a, new at the time, 1984 4x4 (solid front axle for those who can appreciate it) Toyota Pickup. My trucking duties have grown more road-bound since then, so the new truck is a 2010 PreRunner SR5, Access Cab, 2.7L, manual transmission. I'm going to enjoy reading about all the ways others enjoy their Tacomas.

    I just bought my 1st New Tacoma a 2009 4x4 dbl cab White TRD Sport all options and only 12K miles on it. It also has Bull bar, Running boards and remote start. I probably paid too much, $25K out the door including taxes. I love it and just got it last Friday. :):):)

    I just bought my first Tacoma truck last Friday, White 2009 TRD Sport 4 door double cab with 15K on it. So far I love it more that any vehicle I've owned. The only Mods it has are, Bull Bar, Running Boards and Remote Start. I will upload pictures later, :):):)

    I'd like to say that I have a new Tacoma to post, but they last so long -- almost @ 200K in the desert heat. I'll just keep my 2000 Pre-Runner X-tra cab TRD DD/work/toy/project. Finally replaced the original Bilsteins with 5100's all around with 2" lift, AAL, AEM CAI, header, Magnaflow muffler/cat + custom 2.5" (.25 over-size) piping exiting just before the rear wheel -- short & sweet, 2005 TRD Sport 17" wheels (from the dealer parts bargain rack) with 265/70/17. All driven by a grandparent that hangs around guys in their 20's. Happy to be here.

    Super White TRD
    I just bought a 2009 Super White double cab TRD with 9k miles on it. Its much more my style than the 2000 Civic coupe i sported in my college days... I'm very much impressed with the truck so far but I was wondering about interior lights. I noticed that there are no convenience lights that come on when you open the doors. I tried to look for a dimmer switch for this but didn't find any. Am I missing something or is this just something I will have to live with?

    2010 Tacoma 4 Door LB Sport
    Weather Tech Floor Mats, Anytime Fog Light Mod, Belt Chime Mod, Extra D-Rings under Bed Bolt, ARE MX Topper, Bed Rug
    Purchased my 2010 DC LB 4x4 Sport a few weeks ago and have spent way too many hours on this site learning a great deal and trying to figure out which of my possessions I can sell to afford all the mods I want to do. I am grateful for all the useful info I have found here on TW. Did the fog light and seatbelt chime mods fist off and after reading many threads on toppers I decided on the ARE MX, a Bedrug and Weather Tech floor mats too. With my dirt driveway I can’t keep the mud off my carpet. These are on order from Trick Trucks in Winchester, VA and should be installed in a couple of weeks. Want to get some Wet Okoles to keep the dogs and my girlfriend’s kids from trashing my seats. I might be able to talk her into buying them for an early birthday present if I will agree to let her kids eat food in my truck (this is often a bone of contention between us, I love her girls but they sure can trash an interior… worse than my dogs). And after many more hours reading threads I still can’t decide between the OME and Toytec Ultimate 3” lifts. Probably going to do UCA’s when I do the lift, TC or LR… Need a winch mount for the XD9000i Warn winch I’ve had for years (was on my 86 Toyota 4x4 and then on my Wrangler). It doesn’t have the remote solenoid so it appears the Warn Trans4mer may be my only choice here unless someone else knows of a more attractive bumper/mount that works with the integrated solenoid Warn winches. Anyway I was very pleased to find this site and look forward to learning so much more in the future… I would also enjoy connecting with others in the Shenandoah Valley and eastern WV to go wheeling…. And speaking of wheeling I want to get some skid plates and some sliders and some new tires and some lights and on board air and….I’ve got it bad and I think I need a second job…:eek:
