    Hello all!
    Some of you may have had interactions with my late husband, "Takota," on this site. He passed away earlier this year. God rest his soul.
    I want to express a heart-felt THANK YOU to all those who gave him advice or sold him parts for our Tacoma. He was transforming it into an amazing machine with the help of folks who post on this forum.
    Unfortunately, his project was left unfinished, and I aim to finish it as he has planned. But...I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to the nitty gritty. So I'll say another THANK YOU in advance for bearing with me as I post vague questions :)
