    Hey everyone, been lurking here for a little over a year, but thought I would introduce myself now that I finally bought a Tacoma over the weekend.

    Im new to Tacomas, but not to Toyotas. I recently sold my 4runner, ( ) and bought this Tacoma from a fellow expeditionportal.com member. It was formally owned by ARB and I’m told Slee Off-road owned it as well. It is already nicely built with only 68,000 miles and should suit me perfectly, but I’m sure I will be adding more to it as time goes on.

    Anyways, thanks for all the information on this forum, its been very helpfull so far, and I hope to contribute as well in the near future.

    Nice truck, Welcome to TW. You should come out to some of the DFW meets and mod days, usually you can find some talk about them in the Texas BS thread.
