I was expecting mixed feelings on the wheels. I really like them. Haven't seen a Tacoma with them yet. If I change them in the future it would be to go bigger (18"+). But I think I'll keep them for a long while. They weren't cheap!

The problem with truck wheels is there just aren't that many great choices the same way there is with cars. Most are cheesy or tacky.

I dig it...but at least with that pic...something is missing from the front with the grille like that.

Maybe a bull bar?

I have lights I need to mount behind the grille. They were on there before the supercharger install but I took them off so there was room to install the heat exchanger/intercooler. There is still room for the lights it's just been too cold to work outside to put them on. Now that I have lots of garage space in the new house I plan on putting them back on.

Not yet. Afraid of scratching it up worse that it already is from loose gravel.

Honestly, I don't even know of trails local to where we live.

By the way, I snapped these photos on the drive home today with my cell phone. I still can't believe how much better cell phone cameras have gotten in the past year or two. Insane.

That front end looks ready to eat someone (in a good way)

Great choice with the colour again.

Look into Taskers or Peters Mill down in Edinburg VA. It's about 1 hour away from us. Stock friendly trails and you won't scratch up your taco, just get it nice and dirty

Let me know if you're interested in going, I'm probably going there once they open up in April.

Not any time soon.

Promotion at work includes company car/gas card. Has to be a Ford around $32k out the door. It's amazing how discounted F150s are right now. Like $10K off MSRP.

I thought about buying a car and keeping the Tacoma but I still have a loan technically on the Tacoma (HELOC) and having that cash tied up in a depreciating asset plus the car taxes, insurance, etc doesn't make sense when I can afford a truck on my car allowance budget.

The guys at TacomaWorld think I can get $25-28,000 for my Tacoma.

Too bad you can't sell your Tacoma to them for work!
