    Howdy all!

    I was looking to purchase a new vehicle a little less than a year ago. I was torn between a Tacoma and an s2000. (Yeah, real similar... I know.) I figured I'd go with the s2k because there's not many times in life when you can manage to swing a two door convertible as a daily driver. I had my fun and decided to unload the Honda to get myself a Taco. Not being able to carry anything with me was getting old, when I like to go camping and shooting and biking.

    I was doing some research, both here and elsewhere, and looking to buy a Tacoma. Lo and behold, I see this post go up in the for sale section while I'm browsing! I immediately post and PM... and here I am, the proud new owner of the aforementioned tastefully-modified beast of a Tacoma.

    For the lazy, here are some pics:

    I'm glad to finally join the club and look forward to reading more about what folks are doing with their Tacomas!

    Warm and balmy until a couple days ago- then we got crapped on with an ice storm of sorts.

    Exactly why I moved to Texas- you don't have to shovel heat!

    It's a holder of sorts. I'm actually not exactly sure what it's for, although it looks pretty well set up to hold fishing rods. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what it is.
