    Hey everybody,

    I've been lurking here for about 2 months now playing with the idea of getting rid of my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 and exchanging it for a Tacoma. I finally bit the bullet today, and went through with a deal!

    I was thinking of going with either the Inferno/Quicksand colors but was afraid it would grow old on me after awhile. Played it safe and went with the Silver sport!

    I don't know how crazy I'll go with modifications, but I definitely want to do little things such as blacking out the emblems, tinting the windows, swapping out the stock grille with the Pro grille, etc.

    I will definitely update this or share any changes I make to the truck!

    Good call on the silver - what do you prefer about the Taco compared to the Dodge if I may ask?
