    Just getting started...
    I moved to ABQ in 2019 and bought a Cavalry blue TRD Off Road with a MT that October. During the first year my son showed me some great trails that were close to the limit of a stock TRD. I'm hooked. We designrd a build, ordered parts on Black Friday 2020 and will transform my garage into a Taco shop later this winter (after all of the back-ordered backs get here!)

    Checking out existing threads on TacomaWorld answered a lot of my questions about what works and what doesn't, what parts to get, how extreme do I want to go, and where to go to have someone do jobs that are above my pay grade (regearing), so I figured it was time to join. I'm sure I'll have to check in during the build when I run into trouble.

    I'll probablly go full on Taco nerd and post pics of the build. Can't wait to get in the garage, and then out on the trail. Hopefully I can meet some of you in the New Mexico area and tag along on a wheeling adventre!

    Thanks,
    DR

    Welcome! There's a whole sub forum dedicated to builds. You can start a thread there and update it as you go. It's a handy way to keep track of things, and look back on your truck throughout the process
