    Hello everyone. Obviously I am new here considering I am posting in this thread and on the forums for the first time.

    I just bought a new 2010 Magnetic Grey Tacoma 4X4 SR5 last Sunday and so far am loving every second of it.

    The vehicle I had before that was a 2001 Dodage Dakota Quad cab and I had for for 9 years. The longest I have ever owned a single vehicle and I was a little sad to move on. It was time to upgrade though so here I am.

    I am one of those individuals that loves instant gratification so I have already purchased most of the accessories I plan to add, not everything though. Luckily my wife is completely understanding and agrees I need to make it my vehicle.

    I am so glad to see a forum like this one exists. There is a wealth of information here and a bunch of friendly people to boot.

    I am sure I am going to enjoy my time here emensly!

    I nearly forgot to mention, I live in the Bay Area in Northern California

    Let me see, I have bought a Westin bull bar - black, Westin oval steps - black, smoke bug deflector, in channel window rain guards, Access roll-up cover, TRD cold air intake, Wicked flowmax 18 inch muffler, and a bed extender.

    Eventually new wheels and tires but later on. A lift may come much later but I am undecided on that one.

    I am sure there will be more I will do but this stuff was just to get me started ;)
