Greetings from Arizona

Greetings from Arizona. I'm happy to join you all.

Here's how I ended up here:

In 2002, my '89 Isuzu Trooper finally gave up the ghost I wanted to replace her with a new 4Runner but just couldn't afford it. So, I bought a new Xterra. Now, after 21 years and more than 9 trips around the earth at the equator (240+K miles) and many adventures and interesting mods, she was no longer trail worthy and I had to move her down the road. I will miss her. Here's a pic:


I really wanted her to hang on until I could get a '24 Tacoma Trailhunter but that wasn't in the cards so I ended up with a new '23 TRD PRO. Here's a pic:



I'm not super handy and wanted a vehicle that would be good for camping/hunting/fishing trips right out of the box and while the '23s are not the pinnacle of technology or efficiency, they are a proven platform so I took the leap, stretched my budget, and went with this vehicle.

I've lurked on here for a while as I did my research and was always impressed with how helpful and positive people are on here. That's certainly not the case for all forums.

I'm sure I'll annoy you with dumb questions but I'm looking forward to joining the conversation.
