    Just 3 tons of fun!!!

    But for real... from the pictures I've seen, there's not much I'd even consider changing. The thing looks to be a really solid build. And knowing @Speedytech7 did the work, I know it's done right (really big deal when it's my youngest kid, and he's stationed over a thousand miles from home).

    I'm sure he'll want to do some personal touches etc. But on a Private's salary, I think he needs to focus on letting it take him places for now.

    I am glad he'll be getting the reliability of a 1st (best) Gen. And 4wd, with him in Colorado, will be some peace of mind for pops.

    He's a local guy. Seen pictures of his truck, but never in person. Seems like he has his truck torn apart every time we do shit.

    He says he's just about done tho, and should be able to come hang out with us soon.

    I'm holdin you to that @RedManRocket :quickdraw:

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    This reminds me, I have lots of parts for you guys as well that I will gather together. Things I had planned to do (mods mostly that I had on the last truck but didn't put on this one), spare bits for trail spares, some maintenance items like filters (I buy in bulk). I'll gather it into a crate for you
