Soon to be first time Tacoma owner

qmalcolm · Jun 29, 2020

As the title says, soon to be a first time Tacoma owner. Seven to eight years ago when I was living in WI, I actually drove a 2008 Tacoma (family truck) for about a year. I'm actually buying that family truck. It's a 2008 Access Cab with about 90k miles. For the past few years, it's primarily been used about once a month to take some stuff to the dump.

I'm buying the truck because now I live in WA and I've been wanting to get out to the mountains a lot more than I have been, and in general take some road trips. In January I was planning on picking it up in April or May, but then well the world went to shit. Now that the world is (slightly?) less shit, I decided to pull the trigger and fly out in mid-July to build it out and then road trip it back. The plan is to turn it into a nice camping truck. I'll try and remember to take photos of the build-out.
