    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Ugh, this old bastard again. Dude is afraid of anything made after 1994 and really doesn't understand his trade since it has evolved beyond that time.

    Scotty is the man! He has a lot of great videos. Always speaks very highly of Toyota. Says his Son has a Tacoma, and they both love it.

    I'd have to agree. I'm a maintenance nut and I too have gotten a lot of information from his YouTube posts.

    Thanks glad U enjoyed it. I added part 2 - wondering - is there a way to indicate that in the title or some how so the people who have seen part 1 will know part 2 is now available ? Thanks for any links or reply.

    I'll post ASAP - haven't found it yet. My only response to the naysayers is if you don't like it don't watch it - I find it interesting and want 2 C when and how the Tacoma came about.
