    Hello everyone! My name is William and I owned a 1998 white extended cab 5-speed 4x4 with the 3.4L V6 in college. I bought it used with 99,000 miles on it and loved it for two years. I took great care of it, but rode it like a stole it. I had to replace the clutch in it right after I bought it, but had no other repairs until two years later when I had to put a new rear-end under it. I maintained her with full syn in everything and put new belts in. I truly loved that truck. I installed a K&N, Imco muffler, Ranchero shocks, and 31" M/T, and Mile Marker 12,000 lb. winch. It had a tan interior. It was my first used vehicle as well. Anyway, I bought a brand new 2008 Chevy Silverado and did all sorts of stuff to it (STS Turbo, lift, tires, winch, etc.), but I always missed that Tacoma and the shifting. I traded that Silverado with 130,000 miles on it for a Ranger. I hated it. So now I'm back where I belong. It felt like coming home. I recently purchased a 2012 black Tacoma regular cab with a 4-cylinder 2.7L and a 5-speed on the floor. Four wheel drive of course. It feels a lot like the V6 did. I did do a K&N drop in, secondary filter delete, and a Magnaflow generic muffler. I love it. Anyway, thanks for such a great community and an awesome forum. I can't wait to discover what I'll do next and I'm sure you guys will help me get there.
