    Hello all - just wanted to introduce myself. I just purchased a new Tacoma (TRD Off-Road). I have spent a few weeks lurking and learning. I had a Tundra previously and a Rubicon currently.

    I just wanted to say thanks as I was weighing a decision on the Off-Road or possibly a Limited, I almost missed the headroom issue (just over 6') and this was something that I caught only because of reading the messages here. I love having a moonroof but this tidbit really saved me some heart ache and maybe helped get me into the OR that I really wanted. ;)

    But enough of that - the truck pic is what everyone comes for haha!

    Thanks all! Yes, I haven't committed to a set path yet on mods, but I am ready to blow some money. I am weighing the options, and have a bit of stuff from the previous truck so that helps.

    Thinking of making this more truck camping type of rig. Soaking up the ideas at the moment.

    Welcome to the community, and being a member. Possible new advantages coming your way, namely spending excessive dollars on things you don't necessarily need, but we will see. :D

    Yes, it was tight with the moonroof. I had about an inch when sitting. Getting in and out was problematic too. I didn’t catch it until I decided to test it on a longer drive with just me and the misses. I suspected after reading here that it could be a problem, but I went to head check a lane change and head butted the roof. That sealed the deal So I backed off the tech package and couldn’t be happier.
