    Hey everyone,

    Just wanted to quickly introduce myself and my 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport. I recently traded in my 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T and could not be happier with my decision.

    The truck came with a few aftermarket goodies including the front grill that I'm still not 100% in love with. I'll probably end up switching it up for a TRD Pro style grill.

    Already on order are black emblems to replace the factory chrome emblems and yellow vinyl overlays for the fog lights. What other mods do you guys recommend for a new taco owner? I plan on purchasing a bed cover and floor liners (currently leaning towards Husky) within the next few weeks.

    Good to know! My apartment in the city doesn't have a garage so a remote start would be great.

    Personally, I love the look of yellow fogs especially against the black trim surrounding the fogs. But to each their own :thumbsup:

    Get some real Amber lensed fogs. Then you'll be rocking in the free world.

    Also, welcome to the TW tradition of spending each other's money :spending:

    I've yet to own a vehicle that wasn't a drain on my wallet :rolleyes:

    Loved my Genesis for the 4 years I owned it, but working for Grianger and driving a sports coupe just wasn't practical anymore.

    Ouch. I had read about 2.0T owners having high/low oil pressure problems so I installed an OP gauge early on. Just out of curiosity how many miles were on your engine before it failed?
