    Hello everyone! At the request of the auto-email from tcBob I thought I'd take a moment and introduce myself. I've been following the forum for a while and figured I'd stop lurking and finally join. My current vehicle is a '96 4Runner, 4x4 V6 AT, stock minus ARB air leaker and rear spring spacers (to compensate for sagging springs). It has ~240k miles with almost zero problems. I'm looking at the 2016 Tacoma, went in to a dealer the other day but was told it was too early to order.

    Welcome! Do you think you'll keep your 4runner as a trail rig? Or just switch to the tacoma?

    Thanks guys. I'm not sure yet. A SAS and some 35s in the 4R would be pretty cool. I think it's small enough that it would make a great trail rig, but I'll probably end up selling it to help pay for the Taco. It'll be sad to see it go though, my dad bought it new then sold it to me. I learned how to drive on it.

    Thanks man. Yeah, I really should keep it. Yeah, I might be leaning back towards a '15 now, my pros and cons list is ridiculously huge at this point.

    Thanks guys, good to be here.

    I have a job interview tomorrow (second one for the company). If all goes well I may just test drive a nice Magnetic Gray, Access Cab, 4x4 6spd TRD OR that I've been eyeing.
