    What's up everyone...I've been looking at Tacomas since 2007, but got a 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe instead. I gave in about two months ago, sold the G, and bought a new 2010 4x4 OR Taco. Before I knew it I racked up 4K miles just enjoying driving it around...also why I took so long to post. Painted the stock rims black and got a new grill, more mods to come.

    Lookin forward to meeting some of the other San Diego drivers at the meet and greet at Fiesta Island this weekend. Thanks again to w8n4mud for hitting me up with the thread about it.
