    Hey y'all! I finally got my first Tacoma in June 2018. It's a 2002 2wd Prerunner TRD edition. LOVE IT so far. It has a few minor quarks but for being a 17 year old beauty it awesome! IMG_20180613_075524.jpg

    20180612_192517.jpg I think I'm ready for the challenge. She is set up pretty decent. After market wheel set, I believe the previous owner listed her another 2 inches. I kinda want to get rid of all the chrome. The exterior door handles broke this winter because if the cold temps we had. The first big thing I may do is get a tonneau cover cause I'm not a big she'll fan. The fuel mileage kinda stinks, about 12-14 per gallon. She developed a squeal recently when I use the heater/AC. She also needs new shoes.

    Thank you all for the welcome!
