    Proud owner of a 17 TRD Pro. I have been browsing the threads for months now as a guest (had all my questions answered) but felt it was time to finally sign up. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT ADVICE / INFO! I'm still trying to figure out the forums so if I f*** something up, apologies in advance.

    First vehicle I owned was a 90's Toyota pickup that I drove 200K+ miles. I've been buying and trading vehicles roughly every 6mos for the past 4yrs or so, increasing the equity in each vehicle until I could finally justify spending the $$$ on a Pro in June. Been adding a few small mods but nothing real substantial yet.

    I was a little hesitant to trade my 4Runner build but after about 10mins... that Taco had me like "what 4Runner?" I like seeing photos of people's builds so here is some of mine... old and new.    ​

    Further north... closer towards Wilmington NC. Its the #1 retirement spot in the nation... bunch of slow drivers. Not a bad place to live if you have the funds to leave whenever you want!
