    Hey Everyone, brand new Tacoma owner. Picked up a 107 Inferno TRD Off Road a few weeks back.

    New to the Tacoma World but not trucks and 4x4ing. Used to own a 1993 Pathfinder that used to take me places and always bring me back home. Truck got stolen and written off and then I switched to 95 Volvo 850 turbo and then a 2012 Nissan Sentra SE-R. Had a whole whack load of troubles with the Sentra culminating in a recurring code for the MAF that the dealer couldn't figure out and happened conveniently right after my bumper to bumper warranty ran out.

    With that happening I decided to switch and get me a Taco after someone I know brought one and I started doing research on the third gen and decided it would be the perfect for me as I was looking at getting a new truck or a new car plus used truck but the Taco checked off all the boxes for what I needed in terms of creature comforts, tech and off road capability.

    And now I'm on this forum everyday reading all the threads in the third gen section.

    Plans are to turn it into a bit of an over landing rig and daily driver.
