    Hello Everyone. New here to the Tacoma forums. Mostly have owned FJ's including 2 Cruisers and lastly a GX470 that I traded in and got the Taco. The wife and I just had our first child and I had to go with something not lifted for now(she is 4'11") so she can easily get in and out of with Addison(baby). I did get her to agree that the bed needed to get covered, so the stroller and other items wouldn't get wet when it rains. So after reading on here about different toppers, I went with the SoftTopper. I just installed it last night and like the looks. Have not tested or anything, but basically took me 2hrs by myself to install. Easy instructions and the part that took me the longest was getting the pivot studs thru the rails. Attached are a few photos.

    Usually a dealer option. Different wheels, and bushwhackers is about all it is.

    Good looking truck! I wish I could slap the guy at Toyota who decided it would be better to put a hood scoop sticker instead of the sport hood... GRRRR

    It does as much good as the factory Toyota hood scoop. :D If it's just a 'sticker', I suppose you could take it off and avoid it potentially falling off later.

    I've seen those LED lights under the headlights on a Tacoma in Canada. Thought they were interesting. Would like to see them lit up. Also, I usually don't like Pocket style flares like that but those look pretty nice on the OP's truck. I would like to see the interior. Seems like there is a lot going on in there that would be interesting to see.

    Anyway, nice truck. Everything is still so shiny!!
