    Forgive me for the title, it's not quite like that :D Story is: I've had my Tacoma for about 6 years. It's my DD, taken me everywhere, especially through some major life changes and experiences, and despite it's quirks, I love it. Been a long time lurker and just decided it would benefit me more to join. I've already learned alot from you knowledgeable peeps and I figure I might learn me a few more things from finally having a legitimate account. Recently did some mods (what I would consider major mods) involving a lift, wheels, and tires so I'm currently chasing the issues that come along with it, trying to make sure driveline angles are in spec, and fixing vibes, etc. So any advice or insight from other regular cabbers is appreciated!
