    so obviously im a new member. been here for a couple of weeks lurking around, checking out all the sweet rigs and mod ideas on the site. i must say i love this place. heres a little bio on myself and my taco.

    My name is Ross.
    I am 22 years old.
    A Senior at the University of Missouri, Columbia
    -studying Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering
    I love being out doors, trail riding, mudding, and everything else.
    My hobbies include
    -RC Cars (racing for about 15 years, collection is about 24 rigs strong)
    -Paintball (i own a Smartparts ION)
    -Guns (i own an AR-15, Benelli 12g, M-44 Carbine, and a 1911)
    -Movies
    Other daily driver is a 2006 Kawasaki 250 Ninja (will be upgrading to a ZX-6R very soon)

    and now onto my truck..from stock to its current condition.

    1997 Toyota Tacoma ex-cab
    3.4L V6
    5spd manual
    4x4

    stock the day i brought it home
    stockside_ef327678e68bd8f653937f9a78a02f03552aa418.jpg

    1.5 years later it got a lift and bigger rubbers.
    sidelift_ffa67872a8d7c02784d48864509199c8b14e9afc.jpg

    Current look, blacked out windows, blacked out emblems, black grill with red toyota logo, bushwacker fender flares.

    Picture011_3e1def7a15bbfa94306c568cf66347363b4c1eb2.jpg
    future mods include
    -deck plate mod later this week
    -rock sliders
    -off-road bumpers front and rear
    -blacked out tail lights
    -black head lights, and corners
