    Hey everyone,

    I bought my first Tacoma a couple weeks ago. I'm Loving the truck so far!



    I've been lurking on this forum since I got the truck. Thought I'd finally say hello and give a big thanks to everyone for all the great info here.

    The truck has no mods besides the tonneau cover, stereo and 2017 Tacoma wheels. (Actually I'm trying to sell the cover if anyone in BayArea/NorCal is interested.) Will be swapping to a full OME setup soon... The stock suspension is pretty shot with ~194k.
