    Good to meet you all, glad to be part of an enthusiast group/ forum again.

    My name is Obi, I'm a 36yr old British guy living in Texas. I used to be part of groups in the UK for my BMW e36 328i Msport, and then for my Toyota Hilux 1995 (which I miss dearly)

    My father has just signed over his 2002 Tacoma Pre-Runner v6 3.4L to me, she's done 266,000 miles. The first thing I did was a full oil change (fully synthetic) along with filters. I also noticed the wheel arches needed re spraying (which I also did just last week) - attached photos before and after. IMG_2748.jpg IMG_2749.jpg IMG_2750.jpg IMG_2838.jpg IMG_2839.jpg IMG_2840.jpg

    Anyway, glad to be part of a group again, hope you are all well :)

    I also this afternoon have just installed new headlights, side lights & fog lights, I think they look really clean. Didnt realise how much effort it is to take the main headlight out (taking off the front grill) before and after photos below. Enjoy :)IMG_3237.jpg

    Welcome aboard!

    A little elbow grease and TLC make a huge difference! I bet you can see better at night now. And if you are still using halogen bulbs, you will see even better with LED bulbs :thumbsup:

    Thank you for the welcome. What LED’s do you suggest? I’m still using standard bulbs yes.
