    Hi guys! This week, I got my first Tacoma. It's a silver 2012 SR5, with the 2.7, manual transmission, and 4x4. Great truck, and perfect for getting me around and maybe a few camping/hiking spots up some of the old Forestry roads around here in Oregon. Bought the truck from my grandpa, who got it brand new and hardly drove it. I believe it's a 2012 model made in late 2011, and since then it only has 6100 original miles! Craziness. Only things I have done so far are change the oil, put in a K&N drop-in style filter, and did the second air filter delete. I am looking forward to many years and miles of fun in this truck! Oh, and modding it of course.

    A bit about me: 21, fresh out of college, working 3 part time jobs as a Paramedic, and also Volunteer Firefighter. Lived in Oregon my whole life, but looking to maybe change that some day? Love to get outside, hike, camp, and play guitar.

    Well, that about wraps it up. See you guys soon!

    Access cabs are great! Especially being 21 without kids. Enough room for me and the girlfriend, plus mostly any gear in the back. Already building a list of mods I want try/do!

    And thanks for the welcome everyone :)
