    Hello TW,
    Been gaining a lot of knowledge from this website, had to finally stop lurking and join. I’ve only ever had Tacos; a 96 AC then 02 reg cab “tonka truck”, and now for the last 9 years my 07 double cab. Kept it stock until 2021 when I got out of the military then the mods began. I am excited to be in the company of people who enjoy tacomas as much as myself! Take care yall.

    Thank you. Yea I’m trying to figure out how and where is best to put one. Ivanhoe, I actually got out from ft Campbell but am from NC so I came back.
    So I took this picture after I did my CMC about a month ago. Glad all that scrubbing is in the past.

    Thank y’all. The truck is a work in progress. Just received my Dobinsons snorkel and the odds and ends to cut my fenders and flares. I’m bad at taking pictures but I want to start a build thread. Goal next year is 35s and more armor and to get out and hit the trails more.

    Guys I worked on a thread this afternoon and saved it as I went along but now I can’t find it. I’m on an iPhone but I’ve tried desktop mode and regular but I can’t find drafts anywhere
