"Last truck I'll ever need"

...at least that's what my family keeps telling me. I figured I should introduce myself before I start posting all over the place here. Recently I inherited my uncle's 2012 DCSB Prerunner SR5 with the 4.0L V6 in super white and only 17,000 miles. Still has that new car smell. After almost buying a taco in 2005 I ended up with a 2003 ranger instead of a slightly older Tacoma since it was a lot less expensive and I was on a broke college student budget. With a family and a wife that swears by Toyota vehicles I'm glad to finally have one and proud of where it came from. My uncle was a WWII and Korean war vet that I was lucky enough to learn a lot from including how to drive and how to fish. Now I have his truck to remember him by and since my dad has almost half a million miles on his tundra he assures me I'll never need another one.

As for what I have planned I would like to keep it as factory as possible. The goal is for any modifications to be something that could have come on it from Toyota. It desperately needs some alloy wheels and bigger tires because it currently looks like it skipped leg day but other then that I would like to add a roof rack and the AMP Research power steps. My wife is 4'10" on a good day and can barely get in my ranger which sits a good 6 inches lower. Other than that I'll probably leave it alone unless anyone ever comes back out with a supercharger for it. Vroom Vroom!

Sorry no photos yet...I'll pick it up on Monday and post some then.
