    Newb here to Tacoma World!

    A little history here
    First off been part of the toyota family since birth. First vehicle was my dads 87 22re extra cab 4x4. After driving it all through high school and half of my college years it was finally time for an upgrade. I had been having problems with the truck for a while ( after a shitty overhaul job from a mechanic). Finally a blown head gasket was the straw that broke the camels back. Modded the crap out of that truck, and have so much memories, gonna miss that little truck. Now its gonna be passed on to the little bro, so before anyone asks its Not For Sale!! ;)

    Now onto the good stuff!
    Here the newest addition to the family
    2011 Toyota double cab TRD OR (4x2) :(

    Could have had a 4x4 but for $600 more i got a truck that is 2 years newer and has 10,000 miles less (14,000). So eh, can't complain i guess, plus all the other goodies, bluetooth, jbl system.

    Gotta lot of plans for this truck! I look forward to learning all the tricks and knowledge all you tacoma vets have :)

    P. S. one question, how is offloading in a 4x2 with e-locker? through sand & mud mostly

    :plane:
