My introduction.

First, my username, Pig-snout. I just bought a 16 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 with a dealer installed 3" lift and 20" wheels. Looks mostly dress up to me. My initial response to the front end is looks like a pig snout.... which is ok with me as my last name is Bacon. It kinda works, right?

I'm an old guy that hasn't had a wheeler in 30 years. I have never been out of motor sports in some fashion. Sport bikes, dirt bikes, track cars.... my wife has a 2000 M Coupe. Yeah, she's pretty awesome.

Getting back into a truck I can play with will be fun. I will definitely need all of your help. Love the truck so far (all 96 miles of it, haha) but need to find out what it will do and not do. Limitations, if you will.

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome!

 

Pics!

 

What part of the country are you? Limitations are between the ears. 3" lift is all the clearance you need for a stock vehicle.

 

Welcome to the World... Show us your truck Sir!

 

Welcome to TW

 

I'm in NorCal and aiming for Central Cal, Pismo area in the next six months. Are the trucks pretty good wheelers in stock form? Frame flex, traction, etc.? I like the push button LSD. I imagine that makes a big difference when you're playing. I had a '79 Toy 4x4 when they first came out. It was pretty tricked out but without a LSD, you could teter-totter it pretty quick trying to climb up in the Sierra outback.

 

And thank you all for the welcomes!

 

Hey guys, just dancing around the posts. Should I jump under this thing and grease the universal zerks? Really, it only comes with assembly lube?

 

Congrats on your new Tacoma and welcome from Nor Cal!

 

Nice, supercharged huh? I'd like to check that out. Do you NorCal guys ever get together?
