    What's up my fellow Taco minded brothers? I am actively seeking a master of all things Tacoma to aide & work with me on evolving my 2001 Taco to the next level. Mods & performance tips as well as mechanical ability to handle all the tasks. I can't seem to find a mechanic with a real understanding of the Tacoma, I need someone that loves the Tacoma. Anyone know of anyone around the Kansas city area who is a master of Tacoma's? Looking to do some mods & would like expert & assistance on the whole process.
