    Hi all, just wanted to check in to say hello. I recently bought my first house in the Finger Lakes region of NY, and have been searching for the right first gen Tacoma. Mostly for work around the house, but also for trips and adventuring/exploring. It may also be used to tow an '85 CRX for road course racing. My current street toy, which will be staying, is a 2006 WRX. I've had 5 Subaru's, and plan on always having at least one in the driveway.

    Here's my current money pit.

    UPDATE: Found the truck, picking it up Friday! 2001 V6 4x4 5 speed, exactly what I was looking for!

    I'm about two hours north/northwest of Elmira. Elmira is pretty close to the PA border, and directly south of Seneca lake. I'm just north of Canandaigua lake, two lakes west. This past weekend I was close to Elmira, in Watkins Glen, for some racing.
