    what's going on TW?!?!

    long time reader, first time poster.. im looking forward to getting more involved in this site now that I finally have my own taco! :headbang: thanks to this site i got a killer deal on exactly what i wanted in my first brand new truck. since it is a 2011 and the truck had 18 miles on the odo, the dealer was MORE than willing to make the deal i wanted.

    thanks in advance to all of those on this site that are helping us newbies. eventhough i am not a newb when it comes to working on vehicles, figuring out all the tricks to modding my truck will be much needed..

    heres to the everyone in TW!! :cheers:

    I just went to the pismo meet with stock suspension and had a blast! I did little things like new floormats, CB radio, but nothing really to help me keep up with everyone...still had a great time :)
