    Got this gem a couple weeks back and forgot to make a post about it haha. A 2008 Indigo Ink Pearl 4x4 TRD Sport ! Complications with my previous tacoma's owner came about and had to return it due to importation difficulties but this one, while it is older, in much better condition. Quite a few things need improvement cosmetically such as the wheels and a nicer running board but in the near future I plan to get some good wheels and sleek black rims on him. I was worried about the long bed and wasn't a big fan of the look but it's growing on me and also a noticeably smoother ride ! Anyway, that's enough of my rambling haha!

    P.S. Sorry if this is a worn topic but I couldn't quite find the answer but is it legal to remove mudflaps and/or running boards in Winnipeg/Manitoba/Canada ?

    Congrats on the truck...looks good! FWIW, long boxes rock.
    I'm in the next province west to you and I see lots of trucks without mud flaps. Removing running boards is certainly not a problem, though.
    Enjoy the ride!
    Cheers, Jeff

    Nice truck, but those step bars are hideous. I've never seen any hang down that low.

    Welcome to.the forum, and Cogratulations on the Tacoma :thumbsup:

    Those running boards sure hang pretty low. I personally would get rid of them.
