    Hello all, I have been around other forums like this in the past, so I'm familiar to this format.

    Just purchased a 2012 pre runner SR5 v6 80 K miles. Looks and runs like new.

    The color is kind of rare to me as I have not seen any like it . Spruce Green Mica, Looks black
    at night and like green root beer in full sunlight w/ gold metal flake. I can't understand why somebody went to the trouble of installing around $4K in accessories on this truck only to trade it in. But for whatever reason it's now mine. My first Tacoma. I was on the fence about a silverado, then heard some horror stories about the displacement on demand issues.
    So since my son has had an 08 corolla for about 8 years and has been a really good car, I went
    the Toyota route. I'm glad I did as this is a really nice riding truck, plenty of power, to pull the 2 motorcycles we own. And the factory stereo sounds fantastic. Sirius XM is real nice to have.

    On the me side of things, I work for MP Electronics in Apopka and make level monitor products
    for wastewater systems in treatment plants. been there over 4 years.

    I also run a small garage business making ,marketing, selling Teflon Window guide kits for 1990 to 2005 Mazda Miata's. To date I've sold more than 6800 kits in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and 24 other countries around the globe. So many people know me as "The guideman" ....

    Glad to be part of the group ! jake :)

    Pics are coming soon, So hang on for some good photos. The little motorcycle in the Avatar slot was all made by hand
    from parts taken from a retiring engineers desk at the company I worked for years ago. It is patterned after an early
    Harley Sportster, It took about 80 hours to complete.
