    :wave:

    I'm Branden and Im currently a tacoma owner, have been over on tacomaworld for a couple years now. Picked up my 2015 Inferno TRD Pro in early 2015, swore it'd stay stock but always wanted a set of Volk Te37's for the truck and somehow led to a new suspension setup. Considering on making the switch over to a Tundra, so I'll be researching a bit.

    Obligatory photos of the taco! :DIMG_7285.jpg

    Wow! Didnt expect a bunch of replies for a welcoming post lol! Thanks everyone!

    Man I’d love to have a Inferno pro crewmax as the replacement, have the same theme with bronze wheels again too :D

    Yea I figured there would be a good amount of former tacomaworld/ taco owners here. The tundra would be the obvious choice if I did legitimately had to replace my taco.

    Agreed! :thumbsup: Whats the point of blending in with every other car on the road?! :rofl:

    Still considering and researching, definitely want to take a look at the new pro’s coming out.

    I’d love to have both, just need to win the lotto lol
