    Just bought a new toy to play with here in Virginia. I have owned a couple of Honda's, but this is my first Toyota. With a 2.7 litre engine and 5 speed manual transmission it has pep, and is fun to drive. My biggest disappointment? The four speakers standard with the single disc stero radio are all in the doors. So, when you adjust the fade button, "its the day the music died". The regular cab really needs speakers behind the driver, but there's not much room. I hope to learn a lot about some of the better mods for a reg cab truck on this forum.

    Best of luck!

    Thanks to all the members of the forum for the welcome. :D I have been going through previous posts to try to learn as much as possible about good mods, concerns about issues I hadn't even thought of (ex: lack of front license plate bracket :eek:) and good instructions on adding rear speakers in a regular size cab. :rolleyes:

    I am learning a lot from the site and appreciate the big welcome. Thanks to you all!!!!:):):)
