It's finally Taco time.

Embarrassingly, this is my 12th Toyota 4x4 but my first Tacoma. Despite owning at least one vehicle from almost every number series of Land Cruisers (except for the 20, 50 and 70 series respectively) made through the turn of the last century and a variety of 4Runners and even a Tundra... the Tacoma just remained out of reach.

I'm looking forward to digging into the truck as well as into some builds. Most of the other work I have done was either on IHMUD or the T4R forums. I have to admit that I am super impressed by the volume and quality of information I've already gotten from Tacoma World... lots of great inspiration for sure.

With that, here is my base vehicle, new to me:
2009 Tacoma 4wd TRD Sport Crew Cab Shortbed in Super White. 3" lift on the front, 1.5" on the rear (currently - this will change). 104,000 miles, all new maintenance from previous owner - tight as a drum inside and out.

I work in the vehicle accessory and aftermarket world, so this will be a "project vehicle" of sorts for some new and cool systems from Dometic Mobile Cooling, Yakima Racks, Goal Zero Power and others as supporters and contributors to the build as it unfolds.

I love it already and wish I had gotten a Taco sooner. Thanks for the great community.

Thanks a ton for the warm welcomes. What did we do before there was Deadpool? It's like hole was filled that I didn't know existed.
