    Hey guys, taco rookie here.

    New to the platform, picked up a nice Tacoma for a smokin deal. My 3rd gen 4runners been giving me some issues lately, pretty sure she's gonna need head gaskets at a minimum. Haven't been able to go through it just yet, but probably coming this weekend. Ive owned it almost 9 years, and put about 150k trouble free miles on it, minus general maintenance. Its sitting on Sonoran steel 1.2 kit, which is basically 5100s for a tundra, TRD pro stuff for a land cruiser in the back, and a diff drop, at its shortest list. Got sliders, a fat bumper, armored all underneath, 33in Ridge Grapplers, 1.25 spidertrax, SPC UCAs, whiteline and energy bushings underneath everywhere, CS144 caddy alternator, XS power battery, tacoma radiator, fiberglass fenders, Pioneer/focal/boston pro/alpine audio, 0gg wiring, and 370,000 miles altogether. She's ugly, but she used to get you anywhere you needed, anytime, and anyhow. Anyway, Im looking to make this new taco just as capable. Here for info and good times and good conversation. Nice to be here.

    Thanks guys! Can’t wait to learn a little. There’s a lot more options it seems for the taco.
