    Hey All,
    Just (today) got a 2012 Tacoma SR5 (4 cyl) with 27,000 miles on it.
    Silver, access cab, in super nice shape!

    It came with the mudflaps removed? I didn't notice until I got it home!

    I need to install some new tires, as it still has the factory tires, which seem kind of.......tame!

    Might need to get some new wheels at the same time.....

    Any suggestions as to a "reasonably" priced set up for wheels/tires?

    Happy to find this forum and looking forward to learning all about this Toyota.

    Hi, also from VT and just got a 2012 V6 6 speed. Im shopping around for headache rack but am not having a lot of luck. I like the pro-tech models but cant find a dealer anywhere near here. Backrack safety rack looks bulky and boring. Any ideas on where i could find something like the pro-tech mesh cab rack?

    Honestly you might be better off getting one fabricated around here. There's a guy in Johnson building me an entire steel bed with headache rack, bumper and railing for 700 bucks installed. He works fast and generally cheap. I can get his number if you want it :)

    I could take his number, not sure I'm ready to jump on anything just yet but always good to have a contact.

    Could be entirely possible they just fell off on the way home! Consider yourself lucky, saves you the effort of pulling them off- which isn't much since they basically fall off when you look at them sideways...
