Hello To All...

Ok, My Turn...
Hey all, New to the site. I do not have a Tacoma yet but it's on the brain. I do have a Toyota product though. A 2007 Yaris 3dr HB. It's my first Toyota ever and I do love it. I've had it for 7 months and not one lick of a problem. Just put on the Blizzaks so I'm ready for the season, plus 40+ miles a gallon makes it even nicer.

If the Toyota quality lives up ,then I'll step up. I've owned pickups of the big 3 and it's time to see what Toyota can do for me. The Tacoma appears to be just the right fit.

So many choices to make. I will be pickin' the brains of all here so grab a cold refreshment and hang on.

Thanks for the site, the invite and the insight.

Chat soon.

Thank you Don G for the help. See...I can feel the love already.

 

Welcome to TW, considering where you're from I would get a 4wd. I don't know what your requirements are but don't be afraid of the I-4 engine, with fuel prices as they are, and as stout as this engine is, it's a good choice. If you get a new one the factory tires suck, do a quick up grade, there are MANY threads about tires, there is a good chance you could go blind reading them all !! As for reg. cab vs access cab vs 4dr, if you are a loner, reg. cab, if you have a "significant" other, access cab, and if you have kids, 4dr. As for mods you are on your own, I think I want a snowcone machine, but that's just me. Good luck and Drive on.

 

Thank you.... I have a good idea of what I want and the know-how to add to it (along with the help, thoughts and guidence of all here). I have awhile before this purchase takes place so I have a pen and paper handy.

I've built a truck before. I had a 2003 Ram 2500 Quad this and that. I took 2nd place at a Connecticut State Mopar show in the truck division. Didn't do it alone though so I'm up for help and suggestions.

That SC guy, I did time in Columbia SC, I lived in the SandHills area just off of I-20 at Clemson. I have an Aunt that lives there. I'm hoping to get back soon. I'm up to my kneecaps in snow and she's telling me it's 80+ degrees. I loved it there and didn't mind the sweat and the feeling of the Amazon on those July-August days. Humidity makes the skin glow!

Thanks again folks...

Pssssttttt...How do I turn off the e-mail thingy that sends a notice everytime someone replies?
