I know there's a lot less activity on this Tacoma forum compared to others, but I just enjoy ih8mud so much and dislike the drama on other sites.
Bought this red 2012 TRD Offroad, 4.0L V6, 6-speed. It just popped up after about 18 - 24 months of just casually keeping track of way-too-high prices the past couple years and was previously planning on something older and with fewer options. Pretty excited to get all the things I cared about in one package!
Not going to do a whole lot to it at first, unless my 15-year-old son shows some interest in building it up.
Original vs Now photos:
Here's my list of modifications so far (in the order that we installed them), with links to the posts describing them. I'll separate this list into a few different categories.
Offroad / Onroad Ability
