    Hey guys, posted in new member thread but figured I'd check into the 1st Gen section where I'll be most the time. Picked up a 2002 2.7 tacoma SR5, 4x4 5speed about a month ago off a buddy. First Yota I've even driven actually ha. Has 190k on it and really like it so far. Told myself I was going to stay away from a forum, but figured I'd look around a little :cheers: So far Plastidipped stock wheels, replaced rack/pinion bushings, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links. Doing lower ball joints and changing fluids soon also. Oh and had the Duratracs on when I got it.which are awesome tires! Some nice rigs on here I've seen!

    Couple with the Dodge also (which I've already dumped too much into:eek:) Wife will kill me if I put any mods into this truck lol. Bought it to save on gas I told myself

    That is a BIG ass dodge!

    Tacoma looks very sharp too, I'll be impressed if you can get it to suck down as much fuel as the Ram.

    Nice truck!

    Not to sideline your introductory thread, but in reference to pic 6, how are the Duratracs in the snow? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires, but had been wondering about the Duratracs?

    That Dodge looks good. I'm usually not a fan of them but it's clean.

    They're supposed to be better than the bfgs all around. A couple of my buddies have them and they're definitely more aggressive than the at ko
