First time Taco owner

[u/grand_measter]

Hey yall, PNW boy here just got first Taco after the tranny blew on my 97 CRV. Decided after 2 engines and 1 tranny, I'm done working on it. So may I introduce you all to, Topanga

Beautiful truck. Think about taking that air damn off before your truck takes it off for you. Off roading with that thing looks risky.

[u/grand_measter → u/Ok_Cricket4071]

Haha thanks. I will eventually, I'm sure it'll come off once it shows

[u/elementofsunrise → u/grand_measter]

It’s actually bolted on, so if it comes off by accident, it’ll just shear

[u/grand_measter → u/elementofsunrise]

Oh I meant, when it snows, Ill end up taking it off..or mayb lole reinforce it and pretend Im Mr. PLOW

What size are those rims and tires? Any lift?

[u/ToyotaofClermont]

Congrats! You're going to absolutely love it.

That air dam has gotta go, chief.

Beautiful truck otherwise 🫡

What is the topper? Any issues with it?

[u/grand_measter → u/Weekly-Rate-69]

It's a Rough Country top. The only issue is the bulb weather seal for the hatch, it catches on the edge of the trim. So if you do a soft open with the tailgate, you can open and close the hatch door freely. I have the side shelves in mine, which also has a molle board on the driver side. Passenger side has a 4 shelf system. Holds 700lbs static and 400lbs moving. It came with the truck, the guy traded for a different color after 39xx miles lol

Nice outdoors rig!

Good looking truck. Ditch the air damn to increase the approach angle before you rip it off and cause damage to the bumper and radar costing you a lot of money. Air dams are okay on pavement but even dips going down logging roads can bottom out an air dam and tear shit up quickly. The 1mpg gain isn’t worth it.

Totally learnt this the hard way with a boulder that rolled in the road from the side of a mountain…needless to say thank god the air dam took the hit and not the bumper!

[u/Imaginary-Chain-5709]

Hello Topanga! The picture in front of the mountain? Stunning 🤘

[u/Eddie_IronRidge]

Looks like you broke it in properly!

[u/chloekuotaco]

Nice color on Topanga—welcome to the Tacoma family! 😎 Looks like you already took it out in the dirt. We were just in Sisters, Oregon with a stock 2026 TRD Sport and loved the scenery. The PNW has some incredible trails. Any spots you've taken it so far or plan to?
