    Hey everyone! Just made my last payment and I am ready to make my Taco the low key camping rig it has been destined to become. Only problem, as my username implies, I have very little mechanical knowledge. I have changed plugs, oil, air filters that kind of stuff. Done some tail lights and headlights, but I don't know anything about the real mechanics with the drive train or engine. I would like to learn more about preventive maintenance, lifts, camper shells, tow hitches, and stuff like that. I will have a lot of questions, but promise to pay forward any and all help I get.
