    Finally thought I would post my introduction thread, seeing as how this forum has helped me out so much!! Started looking through Tacomaworld even before buying my Taco about 4 months ago. Bought it sight unseen off of ebay, actually from a former member on here, @sternboy !! Got a 2012 Tacoma Baja Access cab V6, 4x4, MT!! First order of buisness was to tighten back up my TRD short throw shifter, @Coupe helped me out with this, now my short throw is nice and tight, shifts like a short throw should. Then picked up a set of interior LED lights from @MedlinAround , easy to install, and the interior looks great at night. Thanks to research, few weeks back picked up some RCI sliders, painted them and put them on. Also changed out fluids in front and rear diff to Redline 75-90w GL5, and MT fluid to Redline MT-90, smoothed things out. Yesterday was a big day. Had the front end vibes from 30-45mph, and some at about 65mph, and some take off shudder. Finally after exhaustive research on here, went for the ECGS bushing install with the sway bar delete. What a job, and was positive I was doing something wrong at various points. Reached out for help on a thread, and fellow member @owen06 texted me back with support within minutes!!! Even a reddit post had a guy at my house with a set of extra hands!! Love the support and community hear!!! So much to learn, and help others out!! I know there are a few other ABQ and NM peeps here, and would like to get to meet up with all of you at some point!! Just a few pics to start out, more to come, overall love my truck, and will keep doing some small things here and there!!!
