    Hello Everybody!
    FBMarsh from Vermont.
    Just signed on as a new user.
    Trying to keep my 2009, Gen 2, TRD Crew Cab with 5 foot bed running tip top for well over 200,000 miles. Currently at 197,000.
    Thousands spent keeping it running without mods or major upgrades. Too much invested and not enough income to get another truck.
    Looking at switching from stock 16” to 17” rims. Considering a performance exhaust and undercoating after all the work is done. Vermont weather is rough on Tacomas.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    “I stand for the flag, and kneel for the cross.” God bless America
    Vermont 2A all the way!
    I will not comply!

    Thanks for the warm welcome.
    I’m slowly learning how to best use TW.
    It seems the answers to any questions I may have about maintaining, modifying, or upgrading my 2009 TRD are at my fingertips.
    I just need to learn how to find those answers.
