My first new vehicle (Longest INTRO thread)

Hi all, first post here. Bought a new-to-me 2016 TRD Off Road (access/LB) a little while ago. Nothing too groudbreaking in the way of upgrades: Snugtop, roof rails/yakima racks, BFG KO2s, LEDs (low/fog), 2021 TRD grill (pro grills are beginning to look a bit...I'll just say ubiquitous , pred. steps (hard to find for access cab btw). A few minor mods: tailgate 'theft device', seat angle mod, etc. More immediate plans would be to build a DIY sleeping platform, change to roof platform (Rhino/Prinsu?) racks over the topper to hold traction boards, fuel, cargo, etc. Thanks!

Hwy 1, Big Sur, CA.

 

Man, that army green looks awesome.

 

Yea I get lots of compliments on it. Too bad I decided not to wrap it and I got rock chips all over it already. Waiting for a promotion and bonus to repaint and/or wrap it camo. Lol maybe in 5-10 years

 

I am joining the Tacoma club again with my recent purchase of a 2013 Tacoma 4x4. All the mods were done by the previous owner and they did an awesome job! I love this truck and the supercharger is a bonus too!

 

Congrats on the Taco. After 20+ years of driving f-150's, I got the bug to downsize (2021 SR5 long bed). It's a tough transition (from a Lariat F-150 with every imaginable gadget) to the Tacoma. WAY smaller interior and storage, much more responsive than the F-150, but I'm mid-60's and hope this is my last vehicle.

 

I've wanted a Tacoma since ~'08 or so, but a work buddy told me they're a "chick truck". Hence, I drove F-150's. Retiring in a couple of years and anyone calls me a chick they can kiss my a$$, lol. Honestly, we have some amazing beers in Texas. Live around Houston but own a river house in New Braunfels. You'll find me floating, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and drinking on the Comal most weekends. Come down and see us sometime.

 

Welcome Jonathan

 

Welcome to the forum Jim

 

Whats up folks! Not new to Toyota trucks (I've owned everything from SAS'd 4runners to 1st gen to AC pickups) but been out of the game for a while. Surprisingly found a '14 Barcelona Red DDLB with 61k on it for an amazing (actually amazing not *2020-21 amazing*) price. Perfect daddy hauler and bike truck. Trying not to chop this one up...too much.

 

Hi all!

When I was 16, I bought a 1979 SR5 from my older brother. That was about 30 years ago.

I brought this home a couple months back:



Bone stock for now, but probably not for long.

 

Hey all! New to TW and on my third Taco, (‘02 TRD, ‘10 TRD Sport, and now ‘18 TRD Pro)

 

Hey y’all, just joined TW. This is my Mystic Purple SR5 V6 on SSR Auswuch. Just added a trail gear front bumper with stinger. 228k miles and going strong.

 

@CedarGroves03 great color choice - nice lookin truck. Welcome to TW.

 

@Jake18Pro sharp lookin truck - definitely a head turner

 

Awesome truck and the perfect choice of wheels for it! I look forward to seeing any other modifications you make on this truck!

 

Purchased this 2005, 2.7L 4x4 5speed from a local seller about a month ago. Sanded and spray bombed the cheap steel rims, had the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 265/75R15 tires put on.
I installed the Rola bed rack to hang the awning (gotta do something about that logo) and give more options for hauling whatever I made need.
Scored the lockbox locally, had to make a wooden frame so it fit. Modified extra mounting hardware that came with the bed rack to secure the lock box to the track system.
So far I am loving this rig! It's a big change up from the 88 Vanagon I've been cruising in over the past decade....I had a black 98 Tacoma about 20 years ago, feels good to have one again...I'm really digging the way Super White shines after a nice bath.

 

First new vehicle I’ve ever owned and first Toyota. Almost lost her in a flash flood the first night!

 

Love how the dog is just posted up at the window with eyes glued on your new taco. It was probably dreaming of offroad trips with the window down when that night pic was taken.

 

I’ve wanted a Tacoma for a long long time and finally let myself step down (or up, really) from the 3/4 ton diesel life to a new TRDOR. Had it for just over a week and I love it.

 

My first Taco. A 2021 Black SR. Slowly making it mine with mods. Started with the boring...Fluid Film, Scotchgard, etc. Changed grill, added Decked bed box, some lighting, AC drain mod, painted the base steel rimes until I find some I really want.
Less than a 1,000 miles and this has already hauled several cars, dump trailer, tons of tools.
My biggest surprise is how quiet this is.

I have already read and learned a tone searching on here.
Thanks
Peter
