    *Noob Warning*

    I'm purchasing a 2011 Tacoma tomorrow and figured I would say hello. I'll create an official intro thread once I get some decent pictures :)

    I'm originally from Cary (Raleigh area) but now live and work in the Charlotte area. I have a 2005 Honda S2000 and my wife has a 2011 Hyundai Elantra, leaving our weekend trips to Lowe's a bit daunting since very few things we purchase seem to fit in either vehicle. We've been looking for a Taco since July and finally found the right one. It's not exactly what I wanted, but you can't have everything in life.

    I look forward to learning more about this truck and being active in the community.

    -Tyler

    Well fellas the Backwoods chop shop is currently in the process of doing the first SAS on a Chevy Tahoe. It's not Tacoma related but figured y'all might get a kick outta it haha. It's a 95 with 16 inches of lift and gonna run 46s!

    Yeah, the +3.5 kit. Eventually I'm wanting to to the DMZ SUA Kit with fox/king triple bypasses and a bedcage. I don't know anyone out here on the east coast that has experience with this sort of thing since the DMZ Kit is weld on and everything needs to be cycled. So I might save a ton up and ship the truck out to the west coast to have a shop do it over there. Decisions decisions haha

    I know MarsFab (shop here in NC) is a really skilled fabricator, they installed front LT on a Tacoma but I'm not sure if he built the rear to match. Might be worth looking into.

    Definitely worth looking into. After spending close to $5k on the front though, the back is going to have to wait lol

    Is anyone in or near Charlotte interested in picking up my TRD intake for $200? It fits '05+ V6, I think '05-'11 models but not positive so check. Comes with everything needed, an AFE dry filter with 5k miles, and dirty TRD filter with about 20-25k miles (was cleaned 3 times). Tried to sell it on the forum but got irritated with people BSing me.

    Also have behind-grill light mount for $60

    image.jpg

    I can help install both items

    It sounds good, I like it, honestly. Makes it sound throaty especially with exhaust. I just decided to try the URD intake which I like also.

    Did it ever throw any codes? I'm trying to find a sound clip of one but can't seem to find any that are just the CAI.

    No prob man I hope you like it. I'll try to remember to snap a couple pics of where a couple parts go, it's an easy install. I think the box cover uses torx head bolts so make sure you have that for install.
