    What’s up, I wanted to introduce myself as a new member

    Last month I traded in my 2005 Tacoma double cab, which was my daily driver for the past 10 years. I’m gonna miss her!

    Just picked up a 2018 Black double cab long bed. I’ll say it wasn’t what I originally intended, but the deal was too good to pass up. Figured I take the money I saved on my down payment to upgrade it to my liking, as opposed to shelling out an extra 20k for a 2019 trd pro and being forced to stick with the factory upgrades. Plus the 8 foot long bed was very appealing.

    Already scheduled work for 3” coilover kit, rims, tires and bed liner and fender flares

    Here’s a pic of my old Tacoma and the new stock tundra

    I’m sure I’ll be asking some questions as I keep upgrading from stock

    Thanks

    Welcome from AZ! Those are both good looking trucks and, coming from a taco myself, you're going to love your Tundra.

    Welcome!!! 8' bed, what is the total length on that SOB???? I have a 2011 Tundra double cab, 6'6" bed, that SOB is 229" I love how huge my truck is, its 4wd, but man that extra length seems like you might as well buy one of those huge ass 3/4 or 1 ton domestics to get the better payload and towing capacity.
