    Hello everyone! I have a 2007 4wd access cab Tacoma that I bought in 2009. It was a lease vehicle that a dealership had taken in with 20k miles. Although it is not my daily driver, I absolutely LOVE this truck! It has been exactly what I need at the time that I need it, and has been completely trouble-free. Just crossed 60k miles, and (with more time on my hands these days) I have decided to engage in as much of the routine maintenance as I can reasonably do. I'm no mechanic, but I am fairly handy, and have a good array of mechanic's tools. I know I'll be posting lots of questions along the way, and appreciate being a part of this community!
