    Hey, I'm Joey, just registered. Been on the site a few times and I thought it was pretty cool.

    For my birthday this past July, I bought a used '06 Tacoma PreRunner V6 SR5. It was in good shape, but obvious that the previous owner didn't take great care of it (sticks jammed up in the underbody, decent amount of dents, etc). We cleaned it up as much as we could, and when it's washed, it looks almost brand new. Came with a set of Remington Mud Brutes, which were nearly bald when we bought the truck. Recently put on some Goodyear Wranglers. I would have personally rathered the BFG All Terrain T/A's, but they were a little pricey. I'll try to post some pics of the truck soon.

    Hey AverageJoe, welcome aboard. Always glad to have new members find out how amazing and worthwhile this site (community) is.

    Your comment: "sticks jammed up in the underbody, decent amount of dents, etc". Hey that sounds like my truck. Finally got around to getting some decent Arizona pin-striping this summer.. and while rock crawling ripped a huge chunk of rubber out of the sidewall of my brand new BFGs.

    Hope you carry on the tradition- rocks, sticks, mud, dirt, grime, a good bath and wax, repeat over and over.
