    Hi everyone,

    I've had my 02 Taco for almost seven years now and am still in love. Even though I don't drive much (I'm more of a rider) and my truck is sitting on 53,000 miles I can't imagine getting rid of her.

    Recently I've begun looking into making some mods and will be relying heavily on the knowledge of TW members.

    What a great site and I look forward to soaking up lots of info and asking the occasional question.

    Thanks for the gracious welcomes! I can't believe it has taken me seven years to get around to being passionate and excited about my truck, but better late than never I suppose!
