    But TW changed my mind.

    New from Illinois and long story long I thought I bought a Tacoma to leave it alone. Made the "mistake" of buying a 2001 base as base could get Tacoma last year for $1000. Sold it for $1800 doing nothing. Then found out it got sold for $2600. So what is the deal with Tacomas? My former job had me in mechanic shops all day and 4 or 5 mechanics had Tacomas and swore by them. Last october, a friend of mine came across a 2007 4cyl 4x4 5 speed access cab in barcelona red with 194k miles on it for cheap in our area. Speedometer didn't work. Exhaust was held together with a soup can. Emissions code. Wheel bearings growled. Driveshaft carrier bearing was toast. But I still smiled when I test drove it and had to have it. This poor thing was neglected. Luckily the frame (so far) is rock solid. I suspect a previous owner had it coated when the recall came out. Fixed all the little stuff but why stop there? I can't leave it alone. Added the Thule "contractor carl" kayak rack and same friend found the 4Runner TRD pro wheels with 32x10.5 tires on it.
    I was 20 minutes into starting the por15 frame coating project and I broke my foot because I forgot how to walk down stairs for .3 seconds.

    So now I'll be forced to find new ways to mod my Tacoma.
