    Hello all! I have been considering a Tacoma for some time and starting my journey here. I have been a Landcruiser guy for many years...HJ45, 2/80's and a 100. Have been interested in the Taco for sometime and decided to dig in and learn as much as I can. I will do my best to scour the forum for answers to newbie questions I may have before posting. I appreciate any of your thoughts and look forward to getting to know of some of you.

    Let the education begin.....

    Been doing a lot of reading and still uncertain as which way to go........ I want my rig to be built for transportation. I will have a trailer w/RTT to use as needed so really just need the truck set up for getting me where I need to go....Am I better off getting a stripped down 4x4 package and building up w/aftermarket items or build a PRO series? I just figured the PRO series was more overpriced hype than what I could put together myself....Thanks SOOOO much for your time and thoughts.
