    Hey all! Been reading the forums for quite a while and finally got around to posting an intro.

    got my first Taco some years ago:

    2002 5-lug 230k miles
    [​IMG]

    and then this happened...
    [​IMG]
    Lady in the white SUV slammed into me at ~30mph while I was sitting in traffic. When I came down to check on her, she said “sorry, I was watching ‘Birds’ with my son” ...meaning the movie on her phone. SMH. Her son was luckily strapped very well in the backseat.

    As you can guess, totaled:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    I kept her in pristine condition. Paint was still amazing, new Bilstein shocks, tires, etc. And the interior is in my opinion still showroom clean!
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    But the show must go on:
    2020 TRD Pro
    [​IMG]

    And a few weeks later:
    -Grill badge in green as nod to my 1st gen
    -Grill lights
    -SS3 Pro Fogs
    -Bed LEDs and old man step
    -RCI sliders w/ top plate
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    And more mods to come lol

    I turned 40 this year and some of my bones are starting to make funny pop sounds. Need to start prepping for the long haul.
