    I get what you're saying. My Tacoma is still pretty stock, but I used to have a lifted Suzuki Samurai, and was about the only one around.

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

    Been a while since I've posted (life kinda gets in the way sometimes). So far, I haven't really done much mod-wise. We're at 8 months of ownership, and a smidge over 13K miles. Our first new addition was a trailer hitch. And last month, we ordered and installed a brand spankin' new TRD Pro...

    What did you name your Tacoma?

    Decided to name her Fancy instead...it truly is the fanciest vehicle I ever driven, let alone owned.

    Don't worry, it won't stay that way. She's not a Bessie. She's Fancy. Rob and i were joking that my truck is fancier than his Crosstrek. This morning, when we were going around a turn (a little quicker than we should have been), I hear him say "Come on Fancy, haul it". It works. So, Fancy...

    It was pretty late when we got it home yesterday, and it's pissing rain today (of course). I will get some pics up as soon as the rain stops. It's a 2022 TRD Offroad, manual, Lunar Rock. It's beautiful, pictures don't really do it justice. It had a whole 6 miles on the odometer when we left...

    I'm sure. I looked for about 4 months for something that wasn't already sold before it got on the lot. I was more or less shopping for a dealer that would really WORK to get what I wanted, and then it was waiting for Toyota to make a few manuals, but it always seemed like I was a day late. I...

    I really like that color. I was originally looking at Army green, but the more I saw Lunar rock, the more I liked it. And, yeah, it was the same with my Samurai. First it was replace the suspension, then lifted it, then lifted it more, then swapped out the whole SPOA suspension for Old Man...

    As long as I've got my truck, I'll be happy to wait (I say this now, lol). Last year, I put a deposit down on our jon boat, then wait 7 months to get it. I've gotten good at the wait.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. And for everyone who had kind words to say, thank you. You truly have no idea how much it means to hear such things. All too often, veterinary professionals are accused of being uncaring money grubbers, and nothing could be further from the truth. Nobody goes into...

    So, a few details on what I was holding out for. 2022 Tacoma Off Road, Lunar Rock, manual transmission, blackout package (not really a deal breaker for me without it), performance exhaust, no moonroof, and the lowest level tech package available. I will be having some tube steps available for...

    Well, all the hopes and wishful thinking has finally paid off. This afternoon, I put a deposit down on my Off Road. It's being built on 4/9, and I should have it by May. I'm really stoked, but it's gonna be a LOOONNGG month!

    Truthfully, I don't NEED a truck, my old Subaru keeps on rolling. But, yeah, if I was desperate, I'd be looking at another brand at this point.

    Potential new owner

    That's a low markup, around here (Maryland) it ranges from $5000-$7500. I don't mind paying the sticker price, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay an extra $7500 on top of that. Market adjustment fee is just a fancy way of saying "Hey it's a popular truck, so we're going to really screw...

    TRD off road vs TRD pro

    Good luck in your search. I've been looking for a manual OR or Sport (at this point I'll take either), and what I've been finding is nothing. If you're ok with an automatic, you'll be fine, but if you want a manual, be prepared to wait. And wait. And wait. The manuals get snapped up before...

    So, the "manager" wasn't willing to ditch the markup, and managed to find a sucker willing to pay it immediately, so I lost out. But, I just may have located another (which hasn't been built yet, but also hasn't been sold either) so maybe in a few weeks I'll have my truck. Not holding my...

    Well, keep those fingers crossed! I checked out a Sport today, but the dealership put a $7500 markup on it. I sent the salesman a text telling him that if he can lose that markup, I'll but it tonight. Of course, he has to talk to his manager, lol. Still waiting on the verdict.

    Thought I'd found my unicorn yesterday.....turns out that it was presold. The dealer said he tried to contact the person who put the deposit on it to make sure he was still interested, but he wasn't in, so he could take my deposit for the truck. I told him no way, I wasn't going to "snipe"...
