My first taco, second rodeo.

New here, enjoying my journey into the taco domain. Its the first I have owned. I would like to use it as a daily driver, short 4x4 trips with the kids on the power lines, and maybe hand it over to my best friends son in about 5 years or so.

I bought a year ago from a used lot. $12k for a 2011 Tacoma TRD 4x4 with a 5 speed manual. Naturally, I decided to name the truck, Taco Manuel. It had about 195k mi with a brand new frame. I jumped on it.

There were a few things that needed immediate attention having spent most of its life in ME. Hard lines on power steering, front struts, slave cylinder on clutch.... But I expected some of that.

I'm most interested now in optimizing for the occasional off road adventure. I live in central MA so we have no shortage of steep rock trails. Recently I suffered a stab wound in the boot on my CV by a small spear shaped pine tree... work in progress.

Welcome beautiful dogs my dad trained K9s at Cherry Point and we've always had AKC registered, pedigree shepherds as family pets. We had a black and tan shepherd named Major and a jet black shepherd with green eyes and a purple tongue whose Japanese name was (U-Geena-Zacuda) - Unjun (Un-gin) for short.
