    Hi, I am new to Tacoma World, but not new to Toyota. I bought my first Toyota pickup new in 1991. It was an xtra cab, 5 speed with a v-6. After owning it for a few years, I changed the gear ratio from 4.10 to 4.88 and added a Detroit Locker in the rear and an Eaton Tru-trac in the front. I drove that truck for 18 years, putting over 245,000 miles on it. For some reason, in 2009, I thought I could do without a 4 wheel drive, so I traded it in on a 2005 Pre-runner. The Pre-runner only had 33,000 miles on it. It was an access cab, v-6, and automatic. Within a year, I put an Eaton Tru-trac in the rear because it didn't have positive traction from the factory.
    After coming close to getting stuck several times last year, I again decided I needed a 4 wheel drive. That is when I found my current truck. It is a 2002 Tacoma SR5 Crew Cab 4x4, with the TRD package. It is automatic with a v-6 engine. The only mods I have done so far is adding 17" FJ Cruiser wheels with 265-70-17 tires, Redline Tuning Hood Lifts, and the dif lock grey wire mod. After reading some of these threads, I am probably going to add the Anti-Dark hood lights. I will post photos later. Thanks
