    A lot of folks. Most tw members besides that guy that flipped his 3rd gen are pretty like minded. Don't trash my prop and respect others. We all tread lightly and its not just a trail modo for the ones id let work on my vehicles.

    Nothing personal I just like to work on my own chit so I know it's done right. Well, that and it's already in my garage so it's better than driving across the country to let someone else from this forum work on it. :1up:

    @Torspd if I need some more woopow, that dude knows some shit about the 1GR-FE. In ten years with this truck I've managed all of the maintenance myself, including replacing the transmission under warranty in a foreign country (stole the part, the truck, and returned the core later that day, let the dealership scam hours for my work.)

    I'm no mechanic... I'll be the first person to admit I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Most of what I know I've read or learned from others. That being said my choices would be:
    1. Mark @Torspd
    2. Jerry @loosnut
    3. Anthony @PSU Taco85
    4. @Gadget@URD
    5. Wyatt @awsumdc

    Collectively these five individuals could do anything to a Tacoma.

    I just make pretty shit. :anonymous:
