    Whats up y'all,
    Yes I am in TX and we say y'all. Located in Austin, Tx.

    Just brought home my first Toyota yesterday.
    2014 Tacoma - Super White II Texas Edition
    Double Cab
    4x4
    4.0L V6

    So far I am very impressed. Cant wait to start the improvements. Looking to build an adventure vehicle that I can explore the country in.
    Any input on things to do first or look for / check out on a used Tacoma is appreciated.
    Look forward to meeting some of y'all and joining in the banter.

    For an adventure vehicle you are gonna probably want some taller/wider tires, to fit them on your truck your gonna probably need some new front suspension components and less fender material. Unfortunately the front will now be higher than the back so your gonna need some rear suspension components to fix that. If you have a good plan it will probably cost you less so you don't buy what you don't need. The good news is it's a lot of fun but it never really gets done!

    Congrats on the truck and welcome to Tacoma World!
