New TW member / '08 Prerunner (AZ)

Hey there everyone! I had originally posted this in the main thread, but since you're all local peeps, I wanted to say "hi'!

I just picked up my first Tacoma a few weeks back. I figured that I would reach out and try to make some new friends since I'm a bit of an introvert.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome to tw.

 

Appreciate it guys! I'm looking forward to seeing some of you out and about on the trails!

 

Aw9d I love those ghost lights behind the grill! Very clean!

 

Thanks.

Sounds like your truck has some work done to it. Got any pics?

 

I do actually Aw9d!

I actually posted a couple on my Instagram last week and within about 30 minutes, someone replied saying they knew the previous owner. So, I suspect that I'll run into him in this forum at some point. Ha!

I re-painted the rear bumper, front grill, and side bars last weekend. This weekend will be the rock plate and front bars.

 

Nice looking truck!

 

Welcome and nice truck! Sweet beard too! haha

 

welcome to tw. that truck used to belong to someone on here. good to see it made it back to TW

 

Welcome to tw see ya around sometime

 

Thank you! I am certainly a proud owner!

 

I was pretty certain that I'd run into the former owner sooner than later!

Love that pic as well! I can wait to get it off the ground myself! I've already taken it out a few times and she handles beautifully in the dirt! That owner took amazing care of the truck and did a really good job with all the mods. Very well done, amazing welds, and you can just tell that someone loved this truck as much as me at one point.

 

Hahahaha TaylorU! Thanks! I had to grow it before I bought the truck... figured they go hand-in-hand!

 

nice! someone gave Ollies taco a home! you got a great truck there Garrit. glad youre enjoying it and welcome to TW.

 

I have to agree that they do! You got any plans for the truck?

 

Thanks Moose1988! I can't wait to meet you guys in person on some of these trips I see everyone talking about.

 

Next big trip is rug road at the end of this month.

 

TaylorU I have a few, but with all trucks it's a never ending project. Ha!

I'm in the process of painting the exterior bars, bumpers, etc. but should be done with that by the end of this weekend.

After that, I have to do the stereo. I'm working on the box as well right now, will add a sub (10" Boston Acoustic), double din head unit with back up cam, replace out the door speakers with something (have not decided yet), and amp it all up.

Outside of that, the truck is pretty much built up already. I was really lucky to stumble on this truck with pretty much everything for off road done.

 

Thanks for the info! I'll look for the thread and updates.
