    2018 Cement Tacoma TRD
    Well after a long stint in the Jeep community I came to the dark side. I am 26 years old and I live in Colorado. For work I am active duty military out of Fort Carson an I am currently working on my associates degree in fire science. The name of the truck Shark bait came from the color an the radio fin that they have on the back of the cab.

    I bought my 2018 Tacoma TRD on February 2nd in cement gray. First impressions of it where pretty amazing the dealership let me "play" in a empty dirt lot we came across during my test drive an I was hooked. I love the interior lay out the flat faced dash an im taller at 6 foot 2 inches and its very comfortable. An the exterior well they are sharp as hell.

    My goal for the Tacoma is a street-able off road rig. Hefty Fab is local to me so i will most likely be going through them for all the armor. I am going to start out with a set of rock sliders, then go with the bumpers lift then tires.

    Like I said I was a part of the jeep community for a while. My last toy was a 1998 Jeep Cherokee 4 door. It had a 5.5 inch long arm 3 link suspension, sway bar quick releases, lockers, 9k winch, arb air compressor, an 33 inch tires. It was built as a day or two trip rig would do almost any trail here in Colorado.

    But thanks for having me
