    Hi guys and gals, long time TW member and even longer Toyota enthusiast. First of all I want to thank everybody on this awesome Forum for your contribution to the community, and the help and inspiration you provide, whether big or small, to your fellow Toyota fanatics.

    I've been a Toyota freak for as long as I can remember. Even thought my first car was my mom's late 80's Volvo 240 wagon, which left me stranded about 5 times in 6 months, that Toyota pickup from Back to the Future was my dream truck, and so was that Jennifer babe!!!

    In my 24 years of driving I have own a lot of cars, from different brands including Nissan, Honda, Ford, Volvo, Lexus, Dodge, Jeep and obviously Toyota. Reliability, resale value and their sheer awesomeness it's what have always drawn me to the Brand (Lexus as well)

    This how she currently sits!!!

    So enough of the background and on to the good stuff. In 2013 a friend of mine who works at a BMW dealer called me to tell me they have just received a 2010 Ford Raptor. It was Traded-in by a Doctor who bought God knows what BMW from my friend. The Truck had only 20 something thousand miles on it and looked brand new. I was driving my father's 2000 LX-470 at the time and said, what the hell, so I pulled the trigger. Long story short, the Raptor sucked ass big time, it spent more time in the service shop that I care to remember.

    So one day I passed a Toyota dealer and saw this beauty. Needless to say I fell in love at first sight!!!

    Traded the Raptor and drove in my brand new 2013 Limited 4Runner. Loved everything about her, until this happened.IMG_1745.jpg IMG_1746.jpg IMG_1747.jpg IMG_1748.jpg IMG_1753.jpg IMG_1754.jpg IMG_1755.jpg IMG_1764.jpg IMG_1765.jpg IMG_1770.jpg IMG_1771.jpg IMG_1772.jpg

    So, I definitely needed some new rubber (and a lot of off-road driving classes). So I searched the web for advise on new and more aggressive tires and the most wonderful thing happened, I discovered T4R.ORG. I know, I know, it's not TW or 4Runners.com or Tundras.com, but It got me started in the mod bug. The Runner quickly transformed to this!!!

    After some time I needed a pickup for my business, and what better truck than a Tacoma??? So I bought a 2015 TRD Off Road. And that was how Tacoma World came in to my life!!! She went from this, to this in just a few months!!!

    As most of you with kids know, it can get cramped in the back seat of the Tacoma (Was driving it daily and the Runner in the garage ) So I realized that a Full size Pick-up would take care of all of my needs, Family and Business, so went back again to the dealer and work out a sweet deal with the Manager and got myself this monster!!!

    Now, this one is definitely a keeper. The power difference between the V8 and the V6, the interior space and its luxury, the towing capacity (although at the moment I don't have anything to tow) and a few other stuff blew my mind. But yes, it had to be modded...

    So the process began almost instantly.
