    Hi guys, been coming on this site everyday since i bought my truck 3 years ago and never signed in…well work is slow and I'm bored so lets do this. I'm from Quebec,Canada. I curently live and work in Alberta as an oil rig fabricator.
    image_zps8jnklwof_0be100b3b4b93b9f00d08b05db6fed8e13b73b14.jpg

    Moved here 5 years ago… made good money and bought first car at 20 years old.

    2004 Infiniti G35

    After 2 years of being a little punk drifting every corner of the city beating on that poor car i really got into motorcycles,dirt biking, and camping, so a truck was needed. Chose the tacoma cause a buddy of mine has a lifted supercharged 1st gen on 35s and i just thought it was bad ass. Scored a 2006 radiant red toyota tacoma access cab sr5 with 140xxx km on it. I called it the red dragon cause I'm a fan of the movie old school :) and my dog is named Blue.
    image_zpsu30bsxlx_014b1b4fffbe017478916da00f8e033b33f0751a.jpg

    Sold the tonneau cover and G35 the week after this. The following summer was just amazing, drove all over alberta taking my truck,my dog and dirt bike to amazing places… such a capable truck off road i was going places my buddys in big trucks would just turn around.

    image_zpsxazkxnau_506578703bd438702e0aa0be9b62e07416b8da75.jpg

    After this amazing summer I decided i was gonna save some money and build a really nice off road tacoma, but i had to go for that one bike ride and that slowed down my plans a bit.
    image_zpsyby1f8g9_c40156fd57a10e2cb12762cc4f3372fb21d4e10c.jpg
    The cop didn't like the excess of fun i was having :(

    After three years with the truck I'm more than happy with my purchase and will keep this truck until i die probably. I still put a few goodies on my truck over the years and i I'm in the process of doing a lot more this winter, but I will keep this part for the build thread.

    This is how the Red dragon looks like right now.
