    I've never owned a truck but I've always wanted one. I signed up here dreaming of buying a 3rd gen Tacoma in the distant future because of finances. After poking around I fell in love with the 1st gens so depending on costs my dreams might be coming true sooner. There are a few around here on Craigslist but I've never bought a car from there or owned a truck and I have limited car knowledge. I've been reading a ton of threads here hoping to learn what's a good buy and what to pass on. Hopefully it won't be too long until I post my own build thread.

    I hadn't seen that thread yet. That's really thorough and will definitely help. Thanks for the link!

    Right now I'm thinking of trying to get a 3.4L 4x4 manual. Don't know what other configurations I need to look at but I'll read through that thread.
