    Greetings.

    My dad recently passed and I inherited his 2003 Tacoma. I don't know what model it is (maybe ya'll can tell me?).

    tacoma pickup.jpg

    4x4. 3.4. auto. 100% bone stock.

    From what I've read here (been lurking for about two months since I picked up his p'up), old Dad left me a nice truck: he bought it (new) when he retired, kept it in a garage (in the desert SW) and since he was retired, could stay in and avoid driving on snow/salt. It has 100K easy miles.

    Thanks Dad. I'll take good care of it for ya.

    Anyway, I've enjoyed reading this forum and thought I'd go ahead and join in.
