    So I'm supposed to post an intro I guess. I got my pickup when my grandpa passed away a year and a half ago. My grandma wanted me to have it. It was bone stock with coffee stains galore in the carpet and seats. So I lifted it, threw in some floor mats, sweet seat covers, and got a deal on some wheels and tires. I made an old brush guard off a 4 runner fit (minor cutting and brother welded). She ain't the prettiest but she's worth more to me than a new one. 236,000 miles and just getting started. Grandma loves what I've done with it.

    EDIT: I'm a new member to the forum but I've been using it as a guest for hours upon HOURS of research into projects I will most likely never complete or be able to justify. So I've been snooping around just not showing my face.

    I don't really have many pictures of the truck. Only my profile pic because the darn tree stopped progress on my winter camping trip.

    Plus I really enjoy the view from the drivers seat better than from behind a camera lens. I guess I'll use this thread to post all my mods too. I'm currently swapping in a gauge cluster with a tach and swapping over my odometer. Just gotta put it back together.

    And thanks for the warm welcome!

    Sounds like a nice setup. Most are pic crazy on here, so the more pics you can post the better.

    Welcome to the forum as well!!

    So I got a little concerned with the fact that I don't have many pictures of my truck. I looked through all my old photos on my computer and found some worth sharing. One is a day trip to my secret hunting grounds (grandma's), next a trip to blue river reservoir (drained), the current brush guard (nothing fancy, just protection), my brother's 12 tacoma, brothers tacoma after hitting a full size mule deer at 70 mph towing a drift boat (my motivation to get SOMETHING on the front of my truck for protection), my OE fender flares installed, a "how-to" pic of pulling an engine from a parts car without a hoist, and my latest battle hatchback I sold to my youngest brother for a commuter (co-MUDDER!!!!).

    I hope these will satisfy the pic hungry friends on TW until I can start tracking all of my pickups adventures.
