    Hey everyone ...
    Finally. And I mean FINALLY got my Tacoma. I've been wanting this truck for more years than I can count.

    Used to drive Ford Rangers back from '98 - '06.
    Then got married (happily)
    Traded the truck for an Accord. Nice car.
    Drove it until December of 2012 - tranny started slipping so I traded it for a brand new 2012 Nissan Maxima.

    Hated it. Just can't be a car guy anymore.

    Fast forward 10 months and I traded that fully loaded Maxima for a 2013 Tacoma TRD Off Road, Double Cab, Magnetic Gray Metallic.

    While the wife doesn't love it - it's EXACTLY what I wanted and I'm happier with this truck than I ever thought I could be.

    Never knew there were so many other fans until I found this Site - will upload pictures ASAP.

    Glad to be here :)
