    Hey Folks!

    I just bought my first V8 vehicle ever a week ago and it’s starting to grow on me. Previously owned a Black 99 Tacoma SR5 Xtracab 4WD 3.4L V6 MT with 374,561 miles on it for 21 years, until it was totaled and towed away back in January :(

    Start here MEGA THREAD first two posts are a must read. A couple items are pretty critical to the longevity for our trucks.

    Thanks all! Of course it didn't look like this when I bought it. It’d been parked for a while. I got new Coopers first thing in order to pass my last inspection; starting next year I'll only need to get safety checks for only $13.95 woo-hoo !! Grabbed a bucket of warm soap and started handwashing it until it was clean enough to polish. I upgraded the speakers to Falcos with sound deadening, added the toolbox, changed the antenna and installed LEDs both inside and out, in addition to adding a new third brake light. The only other planned changes are installing a security system, then I want to paint the side mirrors, rear bumper and the chrome piece on the front bumper then install Bilsteins and level the front. The gas mileage suuuu-uuucks !!! To that end, once I've made those changes, I'd like to trade it in and get a brand new fully loaded MT Tacoma, but I'm not in a rush to do that; it's a want not a necessity right now or the foreseeable future. Until then, I'm just going to drive it and take care of it.
