    Hey fellas,

    I'm now a proud owner of a Taco (2012 V6 4X4 TRD, ~80K miles). I'll be using it mostly as a daily driver, but also to haul car parts and go camping!

    I'll also go introduce myself in the regional forums as well soon; I'm in the DC area. If anybody would be generous enough to let me tag along on any group trips out into the trails, I will bring food and beer! Would love to make friends in this community, since I'm new to off-roading.

    See y'all around!

    Haha I wouldn't pass up a chance to show this guy off. It's a 1977 280Z 5-speed.
    Just doing to valvetrain tuning right now, since this fragile baby can't go out on snowy/salty roads anyway.

    Too few to list.
    Congrats on the new to you truck. On a 2012, I'd keep an eye out for air injection valve/pump issues.

    Ha. The Z has become the love of my life, but the new Taco is awesome in its own right. I bought it to abuse it, but it's quickly growing on me. I hope I can keep both for a very long time.
