    I'd put bungee cords in it. Those always come in handy :)

    This is my new Toy, took delivery of it just a couple weeks ago. The company I work for got it for me as a daily driver as my Ford was getting ready to give up on me. I get to play with it, so I'll be starting a build thread shortly. I will be starting with some bolt on accessories and some interior stuff. Wheels and Suspension will be down the road (hopefully)

    Here are my first pics. Had to do the window tint first thing, I used to be a tinter, so that was a must lol. Swapped out the TRD logo on the bed with flat black. Thought it looked better than the red.

    Hi!
    I'm not a Tacoma owner, but am a proud owner of a 2018 4Runner TRD Off-Road edition. I've logged 10k miles in a matter of 7 months. Done some mods (little and big), but have more to do. Many mods done by T4R owners do similar to Tacoma owners so I thought I'd join this site.

    2016 TRD Off Road
    Hello

    Just bought my 16 TRD Off Road about a month ago. Only 14k miles on it, so new to me, and still newish. I've been lurking on here since almost day one. Figured it was time to say hi.

    Took my first "off pavement" trip 2 weeks ago to Lion Rock just north of Ellensburg WA.

    I'll introduce myself even though I have yet to pull the trigger. I've looked and a bunch of 2015/2016s but it looks like I can get a new one for about the same price. Freaks me out. I'm test driving an SR5 Crew Cab 4WD and a TRD. Don't know that I'll do much legit offloading even though I live in Colorado. Looks like lots of great information here. Cheers.

    2018 Cement Tacoma TRD Off-Road
    Happy Tuesday,

    I just got myself a cement trd off road short bed 6 days ago. I've always been a 4runner owner and had an FJ in the middle, and decided to do something new. I absolutely love it and it will be the first vehicle I add things too. I'm putting the black fill in letters for the tailgate in today. There is a ton of stuff I am looking to do. Trying not to get out of control fast! Glad to be new and excited to contribute.

    -Thanks

    None yet!
    Picked up a 2018 cement 4x4 TRD SB OR today. Feel like a kid in a candy store. Long story short, I was a Ford guy and kept my 2000 F150 going for 18 years with knuckle blood, forehead sweat and yes so many tears... but I fell in love with the Tacoma. Looking forward to learning from everyone here and thanks already for a ton of helpful info. First mod will be the AC drain fix!

    2018 TRD Off-Road Taco
    Upgraded interior, LEDs in and out - work in progress
    Greetings Taco Siblings,


    Super stoked to be back behind the wheel of a Taco. Previously owned a 91’ 22-RE pickup I rebuilt with my late best bro and it still stings me to have sold it. But finally my soul has found some relief in new 18 TRD OR and my buns are enjoying the custom leather interior. So far only upgraded the fog lights, reverse lights, and interiors with LEDs. The feeling of shifting has brought me a renewed since of being a “driver” again.


    Overall, just happy to build the knowledge base of my new rig and learn from the community. Can’t wait to get some dirt under tire in the Cascades and hopefully get some fresh air.


    Cheers!

    New here, just picked up a 2011 MGM Off Road with 33.5K miles. I've owned two 4runners in the past but never a taco. I plan on keeping this one till it falls apart.
