    Hey all, new members here from Minnesota. I just recently purchased a 2017 taco dcsb 4x4 sr5 in quicksand and have to say i love it! This is my first Toyota and the newest vehicle i have ever owned everything previous has had over 100,000 miles on it. I’m new here, new to Toyotas and have been lurking around the forum for a couple of weeks since I picked it up So don’t beat me up too badly!

    Thanks everyone I appreciate it! Just shy of 17,000 miles on it. Anything i should watch out for, change, or remove apart from the air dam under the front bumper i pulled that off the second day i had the truck. Sorry if this isnt the right thread for these types of questions but any help is appreciated and if directed to post these questions else where i will. Thanks!:burnrubber:

    I pulled that air dam off too.

    Per changes, what are you looking to do with the truck? (i.e. any particular purpose?)

    Mostly daily driver but have hunting land and OHV trails up north by the iron ranges in hibbing MN, so your typical off roading no real rock crawling or anything but some pretty decent washed out rutted up hills and trails through the thick north woods. Should add that there is some sharp rocks and loose slate rock everywhere. I have tested 4lo in some loading docks and when a wheel gets off the ground the truck locks it up and sends power to the wheels with traction so there went my thought of buying a ARB locker! Wont be hauling anything other than a 6x12 enclosed trailer with a wheeler in it. Only thing i can think to add is some rims for personalizing it and nice 265/75/16 A/t tires!
