    Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to offer this guidance. Hoping there are some good Black Friday sales on the horizon…. I seem to buy eventually so getting it on sale helps justify it

    Thank you 406camper! GFC seems like the most bang for the buck. Glad to hear their facility looks good. They shortened lead times to 20 weeks too….

    Thanks! Silver and MGM were actually my top choices. I really wanted a manual though and didn’t want to wait until another production run and risk delays. White has really grown on me quickly and I like the white/black contrast. As for future plans, I have been dreaming into a lot of options...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    Thanks. That seems like a good way to go. I have been considering a similar route with the roof rack, antenna mount, etc. if I go with the OTR. I have read the shark fin doesn’t perform as well so I am leaning against that, but still prefer it to be low key.

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    Nice looking truck! Lots of good updgrades. I have been scoping the Uptop roof rack as well as thier Diamondback Truss Rack. I may get the Weboost at some point too if I can justify it (and I prefer it to be more stealth too). Dreaming into it all right now. Did you get the Alpha or Bravo?

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    I think it’s all about perspective. When I first bought the truck (first new vehicle), I had to mentally recover from shelling out a lot of cash. As months go by, I find I justify each item because I want to customize my truck. This one was all about comfort (and privacy was a bonus). Highly...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    It was $500 for all windows except the windshield. It felt steep, but that’s going rate around here (I have read prices vary significantly by location). After months of hot summer, the heat rejection sold me. As soon as I did it, I wished I did it sooner.

    Hi all, My name is John. I have been checking out this forum since I got my truck in October 2020. It’s been a huge help to learn and get ideas, but I haven’t posted much yet. I scored a 2020 Offroad MT in Superwhite after years of checking Tacomas (and having one through work back in...

    I am excited about it! I was researching covers extensively and found it for 25% off in their outlet due to some scratches on the underside. May be worth checking for deals if you decide to go that route (Outlet Store | DiamondBack Covers). I am really happy I pulled the trigger already. Not...
