    First thing, huge thank you to this community! I have been prowling these forums since I got my truck and without knowing it this community has helped me do numerous repairs, pick new tires, find parts, and many other things to keep her running happy.

    This is my first one (wanted one since before I could drive) and I have been nothing but happy with it. Before I get scolded, I know it is not an original TRD. The previous owner put the decals on it, I chuckled at the zombie response unit decal so I left it for now.

    No need to dismiss the stickers or badging, glad to hear you bought something you enjoy, many actually like and run zombie response decals too. Looks great! Keep modding till the wallet runs dry!:D

    No flaming here. Those trd stickers give 15-20whp easy.

    Nice truck and welcome.

    Thanks everyone! Yes decals get all the hp, double if there are stripes involved lol Thank you for the welcome. There is a lot I want to do to her but for now the not so fun stuff is first. Gotta replace those plastic clutch pedal bushings (what is left of them). Thanks to a really old thread from user Tacomaki (may not be around anymore) I will be tackling it soon. Such a bad design. Plan on posting the question of how people have had theirs holding up if they did that bronze fitting option. Did a lot of clutch work last year and was hoping to have seen the last of it until that squeak started...Actually considering doing photos or video of the process, there were a few posts about that being helpful if somebody were to do that in the old threads.
