    Greetings from Northern California! I just bought a 2007 Tacoma Prerunner about 3 weeks ago. So far I de-bagged it, added a 2 1/2" lift so that I can put larger rims and tires on it this weekend, and added the factory TRD seat covers. The rest of the to do list is too long to list, but lots to come over the next few months.

    I just went from this...to the Tacoma, so it feels a little small!

    Funny, when I lived in Santa Barbara my roommate came back after winter break from Chicago bitching and crying saying he'd never go back home again in the winter. I looked at him and asked why since is was cold 72 degrees down there. He told me to go f myself, and that there was a 80 degree difference between when he got on the plane that morning and when he got off in SoCal. I laughed and said "ahh, I see" shrugged my shoulders, kicked off my flip flops, and had a beer.

    Ya, we can't buy snow out here.

    You mean the Marin county line? :confused: Mill Valley Road right?

    Here it comes...
    :eek:
