    Hey everyone,

    I just picked up my first truck, a 2004 Tacoma TRD! I sold my Ducati to buy her. Needed something with more doors to fit carseats (hooray!)

    I'm totally new to truck & tacoma ownership and I look forward to getting advice and inspiration on upgrades, service, etc. from all of you.

    -Alex

    Here she is!
