    Hello all!

    I just got myself a 2000 Tacoma Prerunner 2.7L. Really stoked about it and I'm already sick with the mod bug, but trying to take it slow.

    I've been perusing this forum for days now and can say that it has helped me so much in understanding how to keep up maintenance and make this little whip the best vehicle I'll ever own.

    I'm sure I'll bee back to ask and annoy many of you, but in the meantime, it's good to be here.

    Thank you! I'm looking forward to learning how to work on this thing. I opted for something older to learn my way around, just sold a 2016 Ford Focus that was a nightmare machine.

    Sure did! It was really well taken care of. I'm in TN, the car was owned by 2 folks, one in Florida and one here. So no rust. Lots of work done on it over the last two years, brakes, belts etc. (I am a noob). First thing I am gonna do is replace bushings in the shifter to get rid of that wobble, then look for a camper to throw on there!

    Camper as in shell or actual slide in camper? If the latter, I'd strongly recommend an add-a-leaf to help support the weight. Actually, I'd probably recommend it for a shell as well. Mine sagged a bit with the weight of just a shell until I put an AAL on it.
