    Hey y'all, looks like I'll be here more than tacomaworld now. Traded in my baby today, a 2014 Tacoma Baja TRD Supercharged :( it was modified with all the right parts. She will be missed!! But I needed a tow rig, to drag around the offroad only salvaged JK Rubicon I got at auction and am rebuilding.

    I am looking forward to the roads ahead and projects I already have in store for the Tundra! Asap is window tint! Then swapping in some Infinity reference speakers I pulled from the Taco before turning it in. Also a Rockford Fosgate 8" sub. I don't know what it is but even the jbl sub in the taco was lounder. Is it even plugged in, in the tundra?!? Then the big one, should be ordering a Harrop supercharger in the next few weeks. Already have hptuners hardware from the taco, just gotta get more credits to tune the Tundra. Oh man I've heard good things from my tuner!! Then after that, lowering/leveling the rear. Haven't decided if I'll do a 1" drop in the front yet. Then of course wheels and tires. That will take a lot of research, I'm pretty picky about a clean look.

    Anyways, here's my rides! (I'm already forgetting I don't own the white Taco in the first pic anymore lol)

    Thanks, from the Colorado! Still sad to lose the Taco, but glad I got to own and tinker on my high-school self dream truck. I have plans in the far back of my mind to do a 1st gen taco, 2 door engine swapped donut machine!

    i had the same progression from the Taco and have to say good riddance to it! The extra power, luxury and size make for a far superior vehicle that you and your family will appreciate.
