    I bought my first Toyota, a 1983 Celica GTS coupe, in 1987. One month later as I started my first position as a Toyota parts manager I bought a 1982 Toyota SR5, 4WD "truck" (as it was simply called then) with the old 22R carburated engine and a 5spd manual. That old truck never let me down for the 13 years I owned it. I was a parts manager for Chevrolet for several years before switching back to Toyota in 2004. In 2017 I came upon a deal I couldn't pass so I replaced my two older Chevys and picked up a 2011 Taco work truck, std cab, long bed, 4x4, with 80K miles, partially because it reminded me of my 1982 Toyota truck. As I've gotten older I now realize I missed having some of the options that are standard on most other vehicles. Last week, after 20 months and 12K more miles in the stripped out work truck, I bit the bullet and traded in my 2011 for this 2017 4WD TRD Sport, Acc cab, 3.5L, 6spd atm in "Inferno" with 20K miles. What a huge difference! Love this truck! I'll probably have this one for another 10+ years!
    I didn't have much of an urge to do any customizing to the work truck as somehow I knew in the back of my mind that it was only an "in between" vehicle. Now that I finally have the truck I actually wanted I look forward to making it my own. I love the DIY mods posted in these forums. I look forward to learning a lot here. :)

    Welcome! Nice intro and story. I sold Toyota and used at a dealership from 87-89, then worked as a service advisor for 6 months. Fun times!
