    Hey my name is Wade and I’m not totally new to this site I’ve been on it multiple times before for tips and to order parts and such. I finally decided to make an account because I was hoping to get some help and maybe later get another truck. I currently have a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L I4 basic model when it comes to literally everything else. I currently use it as my everyday driver and it’s such a great truck stock but it’s only extra cab and I have a daughter on the way so it’s not gonna be ideal for too much longer... I’d love to keep it as it being my first vehicle and all I still might just for work but I’m wanting another 1st gen Tacoma soon that’s a double cab so I can have my daughter in the back safely. I’m in the process of turning my current Tacoma into a semi off-road truck not only for me to just enjoy but so it can handle most terrain I’d encounter when driving. I know it’s a dependable truck and I bought mine used when I had just turned 16 and I’ve just let it grow on me since. I think I’ve given enough about myself for you to know kinda who I am so I appreciate it if you’ve made it this far. I’m Wade and this has been my Tacoma Talk.
