    Hey There.

    Central Florida here.

    I have a 2022 Army Green Trail Edition that I purchased brand new October of 2022. It was the first brand new vehicle that I've owned, and I have loved every minute of the truck (with the exception of the infamous gear hunting).

    It was between this, and a Canyon and GMC didnt offer nearly as good incentives with pricing, service and warranty plans.

    So far, I have done the following:

    Audio:
    Infinity Reference Speakers front and Rear
    DS18 PRO-ST


    Exterior:
    TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover
    OEM Remote Tailgate Lock
    Added Tailgate Lights

    Removed Bed Boxes


    Interior:
    Oversized Cup Holder
    Upgraded to White LED Lights in Cab
    Center Tray Organizer


    In June, I got into an accident and smacked into a dump truck.

    $20k in damage to the front end, a month and a half later, and I finally have my truck back!
    With an extra part, I noticed... There is now an Air Dam installed that the Trail Edition didn't come with. That will be coming off shortly. lol! tac06.jpg

    Honestly - part of the joy of owning it was that it was 100% brand new and in perfect condition. But now that it's had it's lumps, I suppose it's time to make it mine, as best I can on a limited budget.

    Eventually, I'd like to do a lift Kit of around 3" and slightly larger tires. I must admit though, this truck has been a pure pavement princess. It'll mostly be looks as to why I do a lift, but will eventually get out onto some trails, or in the back woods on a hunting trip.


    Which brings me to this!

    Searching Ebay, I found a bumper for 19.98! Surely, it was a typo on the sellers end, but I hit purchase to see what'll happen! I'll be sure to come back with an update... taco5.jpg

    Welcome and nice truck! Glad you were ok after the accident. My money is on the ebay bumper being a picture of a bumper inside the package. I've seen things like the happen before, but definitely post an update.

    Update!

    After some back and forth of the seller trying to back out of the sale, I have received a notification that a 70 lbs package has shipped and will arrive in a few days!

    So I'll be checking out the quality of it, and if I think it'll look alright, then I'll install it!

    My first major mod!


    This is the bumper I got:
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/355851841989

    Any advice on how I should go about connecting the LED lights in with my reverse lights?

    Beautiful Tacoma! The green with the bronze wheels sure look good together.
