    Just purchased my first tacoma. I've been looking around for about a year and I finally picked one up today. She's a 07 double cab 4x4 with 112xxxmiles. I couldn't be happier except my wife isn't too happy. did a few things this weekend. I debadged the tailgate and installed a hose clamp on the tailgate and then epoxied it. Trying to keep the tailgate for a while. Me getting a tacoma, made my friend want one so he got a 2014 today

    If you think she's mad now, wait til you get the mod bug and she wakes up in the middle of the night and find you sound asleep half way through a slider install on the concrete floor with your arms wrapped around a slider with drool streaming from the corner of your mouth. Congrats on the new truck!

    Got me some weather tech floor mats for $100. Also calculated I'm only getting 16.9 mpg, pretty easy. Is that normal?
