    I've been lurking around the forum for a while and decided to join the community. Glad to be part of the Tacoma World community.

    I had a 1982 Tacoma with 3" lift, I believe it had 32" or 33" tires. I always been a fan of Tacoma.

    Now I'm deciding on getting a 2nd or 3rd gen Tacoma. By reading on the forum I'm leaning towards the 2nd gen.

    Take care,
    Kevin

    My 82 Tacoma had floor rot, the the drivers side seat was sitting on the frame. Since I don't know how to weld I got rid of it to someone I knew. He put in a new floor. A lot more rot than anyone expected.
