    Hey Everyone,

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking in the TacomaWorld shadows for about a year as I patiently waited for the perfect (to my liking) Tacoma, it just didn't feel right to become a member until I had the keys in my hand :)

    So recently picked up a Magnetic Grey '14 Tacoma Sport AT LB. It was a manager's demo so it had about 8000kms on it, but after some haggling they sold it to me as a new sale and gave me a discount for the kms. Absolutely loving it so far!

    I also wanted to say thanks to you guys/gals for all the build threads, modding advice, ideas, and posts I've had the pleasure of perusing, its filled my head with so many awesome mod ideas for the future I can't keep them straight. (I'll blame you for the heat I catch from the wife for all the money spent on suspension, random gadgets and do-dad's later) :D

    So what have a done so far?
    - 265/70/17 General Grabbers AT2 on Stock sport Rims
    - Tri fold tonneau cover
    - M32's Raptor light Mod with oznium.com bolt LEDs
    - Power pop'n'Lock
    - Blacked out front emblem (homedepot flexidip)

    What do I currently have on the go?

    Just ordered the following and waiting for it to arrive:

    - Nortech EvolutionE Series 21' Single Stack LED Light bar & mounts (54W/4050Lm)
    - 4 Nortech 3.15" EvolutionE Series Cree LED Driving Light Flood/spot (18W/2050Lm each)
    - Westin Ultimate Bull bar (I know, I know, not a loved accessory around here, but let the rookie make his first styling mistake :p I just want to see what it looks like on my truck with the LED bar)
    - Nortech LED strip lighting that I will install in the truck bed with a two way switch.
    - Some white LED interior bulbs for dome and map lights

    And wish list for the near future:

    - 5100's front, set at 1.75, haven't decided on the rear yet
    - Famous Fab hood hinge mounts for this 3.15 Cree lights above
    - Weather Tec Mats (should have done this first, but its just not as exciting :)
    - Some OTRATTW switches for all the lights

    Here she is the day I got'er:

    Thanks guys! :)

    @SSG665: Nope, none at all. That includes cornering under braking. Didn't even have to trim the mudflaps. :)
