    Hey guys!

    I have been a Toyota guy (longtime user of YotaTech) since I have been driving and and have always wanted a Tacoma. 2 4Runners (1988 and 2001), a Nissan Stanza, and a Jetta later, I have finally purchased my first Tacoma!

    Its a 2008 DCSB TRD Off-Road V6, Manual Trans, 4x4 with 98,000 miles. I picked it up in Texas and drove it back to Atlanta on Thursday/Friday. I am absolutely in love! This forum has already been a huge help and I have been scouring it for information and mods.

    Piercedtiger's Cheap/Free mods thread (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/cheap-free-mods.4838/) has been huge and I already compiled a list of mods that I need to do.

    First order of business was to do the Anytime Foglight Mod and a K&N filter. Next is going to be removing the additional emissions filter after the K&N.

    Thanks in advance for all the help and information here!

    Brandon
