    Greetings all!
    Just bought my first Tacoma after 5 Fords and am only beginning to realize what I was missing. Already used this forum to answer some questions so decided I should join. In case anyone wants to know, I hail from southern NH and work full time in public works for a large city (by NH standards anyway!) and work part time/on call on my town's Fire-Rescue.

    Thanks for the quick greetings! I see mods or "What have you done?" are popular threads sooooo: I've only had it a week, but the front spoiler has come off, I dropped in a bed mat and there is a Extang Trifecta cover waiting on my porch right now, that will be going on tonight!
