Back with a new Tacoma from the Land Cruiser Forum

[Delirious]

Hello all. Many of you know my story about totaling my baby back in August. I went and bought a 24 Land Cruiser First Edition and I joined their forum. However, as much as I loved that vehicle and all the attention it garnered wherever I drove or parked, in my heart I knew I'm a pickup guy and and so here I am again.
I'm loving this limited Tacoma I have. I can't think of anything I wish it had. It's all wheel drive, four-wheel-drive, Powered tailgate and running boards, 360° camera system that's far better than the LC, spray in bedliner, although I don't know why since it's a composite bed. (I'm certain someone here will makes sense of it for me)
I'll give a update on my medical either in another post or in response. It's not all that bad.
The sad part is, they didn't have squat for insurance and I didn't have uninsured/under insured motorist coverage. That bites. (No Dan Newlin got me 10 gazillion dollars for me)

For those that don't know about my accident, here's the link to it....

I couldn't edit the original post so I'll put it here. I'll take some more real soon to add to my profile.
I would love to see from other limited owners what they did with the wheels and maybe the grill and also removing that front air dam and if it was replaced with anything? I would rather have skid plates.
especially inThe General tires spin too easily, especially on grass, so I'm looking forward to getting the continental ATS or the Michelin ATS.

Is there an OEM part # for the power steps? Has anyone tried to fit these on any other models

Hey - welcome back, and that is a nice looking truck. Shame about your first Taco, but it did its job and it died to save you.

I'm a pickup guy too. I loved the LC when it dropped and I love the 4Runner, but neither one is a pickup, so I just look at them and enjoy, while I drive my Taco and smile.

I would think they fit any trim. Your dealer will know best.

Yep, it did its job, like a military dog or a police dog protecting it's handler.

I loved the fancy ass LC when I test drove it but I wanted the bed and the rugged feel of a pickup. Welcome back.

Did you trade in the LC?

i started with the same truck. This is after I made a few changes.

Thank you for that. Those black wheels go well with the silver and dark tint. Looks great. How about the mudflaps? OEM?
I like your running boards. If my truck had not come with them, I would a very well considered those.
The black on the front of the mirrors, around the headlights and then the grill. Maybe a few others also looks fantastic.

Thanks! Those are Rock Blokz Rally mud flaps and love them.

I love the Rok Bloks. I've had them on three different vehicles. I priced them for this one and I think they are around 250 now. I think I'm passing this time.

I did. Here's the crazy thing. The rip-off dealership in Melbourne offered me $25,000 less than what their own website valued it. What scum dogs! I paid 80, and I got 75 for it elsewhere.
I haven't gotten around to write their review yet, but they're sure not gonna like it.
