    1998 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner, 2.7L 2013 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner SR5, SST, 4.0L 2009 Toyota Camry SE, 2.4L
    A long time Toyota owner.

    I recently owned a 2013 Tacoma Prerunner, SST that was totaled by a young driver that ran a four way stop and T-boned me, bent the frame and buckled the cab floors (Truck was paid for, too!).
    I am shopping for a new, or used (2016-17) Tacoma Double Cab, locally.
    I own a 1998 Tacoma Prerunner Extra Cab, 2.7L.
    My wife's daily driver is a 2009 Camry SE, 2.4L.

    I joined to network with other owners and enthusiasts as I prepare to do some major work on my '98 Tacoma.

    Other than the 4 years I served in the Navy, I have worked in the oilfields in the Gulf of Mexico for thirty years.

    I am married with four adult children and five grandchildren.

    The '98 Tacoma is in my shop with a blown head gasket (youngest son drove it to work, heater hose blew out and it got hot quick. He shut it down soon but not before it blew the gasket). I am away at work. When I return home next week, I'll post some pics. I will soon start repairs on it after I finish a '94 F-150 repair.

    FastEddy59, I worked with a mechanic out here in the Gulf from near Toronto. He has moved on to another area. He played professional hockey in Lafayette, Louisiana back in the Nineties. He married a girl from Louisiana and relocated to here. He is a really good mechanic (natural gas engines).
