    Hey all,

    Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Andre and I live in SoCal.

    I’m a gearhead and enjoy working on autos and bikes (Race Bikes) Enjoy riding a lot.

    I own a 2000 Tacoma Prerunner that I recently bought a few years back and I absolutely love this truck.

    I worked as an industrial maintenance mechanic for many years. Now I’m a maintenance leader so I don’t get to wrench as much anymore.

    Thanks for having me.

    Does anyone know why I can’t get a full pick in my avatar. I have tried different sizes but no luck.

    If you crop your pic so the width and height are the same, the system will fit the whole thing in the avatar. It's because the avatar size is square.

    It seems that in the thread my avatar is fine. But when looking at the different threads it looks like this.
