    Okay guys . I am trying to learn this web sight and how to add the memes and such . Keep in mind I am 47 and so this isn't something I " grew up " with . A little help would be appreciated and maybe a little help on a buy I am thinking on . Got the opportunity to trad my white Taco access cab in on a 4 door with a 5 foot bed . only thing Id give up is a foot in the bed. It has a lift kit and nice rims and tires . Less than 7k difference in the miles both are a 2005 . As long as the frame is new I don't see a problem except changing the alternator " again " Think I have it covered this time . I do have a manual and this is an automatic . Any pros or cons to buying ?? Thanks
