    Hello everyone,

    I’ve been driving company cars for almost all of my adult life so I have not had a need for a personnal vehicle. But retirement is creeping up fast and I found myself needing a fun mobile for my weekend adventures so the Taco was an easy choice for me. So far the mods I’ve done are just accessories, roof rack, bed liner, bed extender, and a few other cosmetic additions. My first official mod will be the sound system, found a thread on this forum about an inexpensive speaker swap that I hope will give me the sound quality I want. Parts are on their way, will update once I have them installed. Hopefully there will ge many more mods to come and I will be counting on you guys for more great advise.

    Welcome!

    Nice looking truck. I’ve been looking at options for hauling a couple kayaks. Your pic shows the OEM roof rack for the bow of your kayaks, but what are you using on the back-end?

    Welcome you have driven into a deep hole where money and time disappear. Enjoy the truck and retirement, best job I ever had. Six Saturdays and one Sunday to rest. Just tell your significant other I will do it on Saturday and walk away.
