    I dont really but I like to pretend I do.

    Just bought my first Tacoma, although Ive always loved them, admitantly a few ex girlfriends parents had them with keys available to steal on weekend romps to the local desert.

    My babygirl is an '06 Prerunner SR5 and I grew up with some fun light to heavy baja ready vehicles in the family so my first goal is to functionally upgrade the shit out of this insanely well priced thang Ive been blessed to own.

    First buy is AT tires, because the fronts are almost completely bald, then shocks and suspension. Im not interested in aesthetics and super intense offroad trailing as its 2WD, but I want this thing to be ready for anything appropriate and If I can sell her a trade up well than Ill be happy to put some money into some flashier name brand parts.

    Im new to modifications and am always looking to research and develop. Lets chat.

    LOL I love the title.

    Hold up on those flashy parts for resale though. A lot of people here swear up and down that aftermarket parts doesn't effect resale. In my opinion, it does to some people especially depending on location.

    Anyways, welcome to TW man :wave:

    Haha that you. Yea Im expecting that. Also my human neatfreak girlfriend will eventually hate me because of all this but Ill let that sort itself out on its own.

    Im sure Im not the first guy to buy a stripped truck to make my own, but Im in San Diego so Im sure theres someone that wants a quality desert-ready toy for the ample areas out here.

    Fuck I wish I was anti social, Im too damn good with people it kills me hahaha

    Im stoked! Thanks!
    I spent a reaaaally long time thinking it up.

    As long as you dont drive a Raptor Ill hang fucks with you bro.

    Haha an overthinker like me. I appreciate you.

    So it originally read "hang dong", but I felt that was aggresive, so I rewrote it and forgot to delete "hang" instead of "hang dong"


    Take it how you want it.
