    2017 White Tacoma TRD Off Road
    Howdy y'all, after many years of fun and adventure in a 2005 Nissan Frontier NISMO I was ready for a change. Got over the adventure of the anxiety of wondering if we're going to make it home under our own power. Considered picking up a newer Nissan and but everytime the old one broke down I lamented to my wife that we shoulda bought a Taco and she was over hearing that. So last week I picked up a 2017 TRD Off Road in ExPo approved white. Really stoked to dig in on building it, honestly a little overwhelmed with the plethora of choices for this platform.

    The old beast.

    The sweet innocent newb. Looking forward to a long relationship with it.

    Thanks for the warm welcome all. I know part of me is going to miss smack talking c-channel frames and drum brakes around the campfire, but I think I'll get over it.
