    Hey everyone!

    I'm an ex Toyota guy returning to the fold. I owned multiple Toyotas until 2005 when I purchased a Chevy Silverado. I had boats and campers to haul, and the baby Tundra was not up to the task. I drove the chevy for thirteen years with no issues. That truck is a hard act to follow! Well, it was time to put silver out to pasture, so I decided to go with a mid size as the boats and campers went away (divorce). I was considering a Colorado, but after driving the Taco, the choice was clear. The adjustment from a 5.3 liter to the 3.5 has been rather difficult, but I think I'm okay with it. Mods I've made thus far are a K&N intake, a new grill insert, and a Softtop topper, which I highly recommend!
    I'm sure I'll find all kinds of cool stuff on this site to spend lots of $ on! :spending:
