I want a Taco!!

Howdy all, I'm a Firefighter, STNA, and a full time nursing student. I joined here because I plan on buying a tacoma after I graduate in a few months and get a job as an RN. Right now I'm milking every last mile out of my 1998 GMC Jimmy 4x4. Love the truck, and I plan on keeping it, but I need something more reliable. I thought about a colorado, but GM is being retarded, so I'm looking elsewhere. Just trying to figure out what mods I can do in the future, First will be a strobe lightbar and siren for the FD. Along with some upgrades in the tunes dept. Then maybe tires and a lift.

Everyone here seems to be very friendly and helpful from what I've read. I'm looking forward to learning, and maybe contributing myself in the future!

NOOO NOT STROBES haha

i dont like light bars either

i vote an interior LED light bar with LED strobes

my truck is lit up like a damn christmas tree, if you cant see me or hear me (siren with an actual air horn like you find on the rigs) you shouldnt be on the road

 

ill post a vid of my lights siren and horns when i can find my charger

i can use a taco...im kinda hungry

 

Welcome to TW.

 

As for mods there is no better place than here. atleast that i have found. this site will drive you broke with all the cool mods people have came up with here is the link to the menu of mods
http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/7174-2nd-gen-tips-mods-more.html

also try to search for anything to see if it has been posted before. more than likely you will find it here. I am new too but welcome. I luv my taco wouldnt trade it for anythingcant get to far away or you will miss it. lol i am in iraq so i miss mine

 

i know, i aint the brightest bulb on the christmas tree but i am one of the first to preach about getting to the scene safely.

i go routine traffic in my POV no matter what the call

but i still take pride in the loudest and most lit up truck in the county

and in the state of NC the lights on personal vehicles are considered courtesy lights, they in no means require citizens to move, also all traffic laws must be obeyed

that means no running red lights stop signs, OBEYING SPEED LIMIT ect...


you aint no good if you cant make it there safely!

 

Oh I know all about that, in Ohio we are trained and inspected, and to the best of my knowledge we are considered emergency vehicles when running L/S. We are SOL if we are in an accident, however, its just driving smart.

I've already been reading up on tons of different mods on here. Lifts, lights, tunes, etc. The only thing I haven't seen that I have with my GMC is nobody is doing engine swaps! One of my goals is to swap a 6.0L V8 from a 2500HD pickup in my Jimmy. I would love to do the same to a Tacoma!
