    New to this site. I purchased a used 2008 Double Cab 4x4 TRD SR5 Silver Tacoma. Love the truck although I only rode less than 100 miles since I bought it. Have been busy with many things. Right now on vacation so cant wait to get back and start tinkering with the truck.

    New to site. Got my 03 Prerunner about a year ago. Had a Firebird formula previously so the downsize from a big v8 to the 2.7 is a bit disappointing. Otherwise I love the truck. Just put on a Westin Bullbar and some Hella 500ffs yesterday so I'm just getting into mods now.

    Whats up yall! I've been posting on here for a little while, but I'm still a newbie or FNG if you will. I've always been in love with tacomas, and bought my first back in '07 right after I got back from a deployment. I bought a 95 Taco in Alaska with 225K on her, but despite a few things here and there, she's been going strong and steady. I am truly obsessed with my truck and will never buy another vehicle other than yotas, I'm definitely going to be driving my truck until she can''t stand on her own anymore. Thanks to all who are fellow die hard yota owners & lovers!!

    Welcome to all the new folks that have posted in here!

    ApacheDriver, sweet LT. :thumbsup:

    Frodellio, it's a toss up but I kinda like the LEDs. I think it's the tint that does it for me.

    This zombie thread will never die! :D

    Yea...I gave the clear/altezza lights a once over but couldn't picture them on the truck...too highschoolish/fast&furious-ish... I agree the tint looks better...bright as hell at night too

    Hey everyone just wanted to introduce myself. I'm from the henderson/las vegas NV area. I purchased a dbl cab a year ago and have been snooping around this site ever since then. I am finally getting some time off from work and school so I can have more time to contribute. This is an awesome forum I have been able to take advantage the weather tech group buy and some great advice from other members. Thank you TW admin for keeping the site alive. Hopefully I can go to one of the meet and greet get togethers soon.
