    Hello fellow Tacoma owners. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am 42 years old and I just got back from a 5 month stay in Germany (job training). While I was there I learned, through talking with friends, that we have some real freedoms here in the USA. Freedoms like cheap fishing, being able to afford a 4X4 vehicle, and to own a gun. So, upon my return, I have begun to fulfill what I had been taking for granted all this time. First I bought a Remington 870 12ga. shotgun. Next, a 2016 Tacoma (crew cab, 4X4, V6, Automatic, SR5, Long Bed). Tomorrow I will head out to buy a new Shakespeare/Ugly-Stick combo rod/reel. It's silly, I know, but you wouldn't believe the affect it had on me to be there all that time. It's been nothing but country music, either, since I have returned. Before you think "poser", I have owned guns, and fished many times before, but this is my first 4X4.

    So far, all I have done to my truck is to remove the front-bumper spoiler. I want to do a few more things: Tint the front door windows, put on nerf bars/running boards, bump up the tire size, leveling kit (possibly with new suspension). I'm not sure what, if anything, else I will do. Aside from the tint and tires, I have no idea, what this will cost me. Anyone here care to clue me in? By the way...I've wanted a 4X4 Tacoma since my dad sold the like in 1989-1990. For those math-challenged, that is 25+ years. :)

    Would you be interested in selling the front spoiler you removed?

    I bought a new Tacoma in 2002, but didn't get everything I wanted. It was a 2wd reg cab with a 5 speed.

    Thank you!

    The long bed, at the time I bought mine, was all that was available (in stock) and I was impatient so I took it. After having done so, I wouldn't want it any other way. The extra foot in bed length has already proven its value.thumb_IMG_1477_1024_zpsyjgqfgjc_7afd0d8555d3631ec5695d38bc0acaf746e9c40d.jpg

    10-4,

    Man I am loving the long bed and just Friday morning I was at SAMs and was eye balling the 265 BFGs you have there...

    I love the dark SR model wheels but the SR5 wheels are growing me. Just looks tight with that regular bed length and the wheels. It really comes together well.

    Can you help me and explain the connected Navigation that is supposed to be in the SR5 audio unit?
