    Hello all,

    Been lurking around TW here and there and decided to join. Just moved down to Austin, TX from Colorado. Great community here and a wealth of info!

    I'm driving a blue 2012 Tacoma TRD Offroad and love it! About 60k miles. Hoping to make a few modifications and additions once I get the thing paid off as well...
    Anyway, glad to be joining! Thanks to everyone running and contributing to this operation here.

    Thanks!!:cheers: They are a hair bigger than stock so they'll scrape the front on hard turns every now and then but I can live with it. I'd love to get a 2-3" lift on it one day but got bills to pay first haha...
