    Just thought I would introduce myself. I'm Brandon from the LA/MS/AL Gulf coast area.

    Active duty Coast Guard.

    I have a beat up 2001 Tacoma base model 2.4 2wd. That thing is a beast but it's had to have some work to bring her back to a more reliable state.

    Mainly just interested in seeing what others have done. Not interested in lifts or mud tires. Like my truck and I like to just help it out.

    Have a good day!

    I'll try and upload a pic. She's rough but runs great.

    Forgot to mention that I fabbed up a f350 front bumper to fit. Got those Ford fog lights lol.

    I've also added LED front turn signals and fully sprayed the bed black since these pics were taken.

    Yup yup that bumper & fog light set up do have some passing similarity to my old F250. Except, of course, I didn't have that nasty scarlet letter front plate. :p

    Cool cool.

    There's a few jobs working on boats on the Mississippi gulf coast & I'm pretty sure one of the TW member (@95 taco) does that in Pascagoula Mississippi.
