    Hey there everyone. I've wanted a Tacoma for a few years now and was finally given an opportunity to realize this dream. I picked up this 2009 2wd Access Cab with 260,000ish miles for under $1000 with a blown up engine. (Assumed to be head gasket failure.) Picked up an engine from my local salvage yard with 99,000 miles on it and swapped it over a few weekends ago. Now I'm just working on a few odds and ends. (Transmission lines mostly.)
