    Greetings, I just returned from 4 years in Australia, Flying in to Houston IAH on the 16th of December 2017. Picked up my White 2018 Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4 Auto the following Monday (18th December).

    My two previous Toyotas were both FJ Cruisers. a 2010 and a 2014 with right hand drive (Australia).

    Spent the last month driving around looking up old friends and trying to decide where to settle, ended up back in Houston 6500 miles later.

    Hope to be a contributing member of the forums, since picking up my Taco I have added..
    Roof Racks
    Camper Shell (Leer)
    Spare Tire Anti Theft Kit (OEM)
    Bed Lighting (OEM)
    Predator Aluminium Step Rails (OEM)
    Mud Flaps (OEM)
    Maxx Floor Liners

    Planning to add the OEM Power Tailgate lock next (OEM).
