    Hello! My name is Mike and I just bought my first Tacoma and my first NEW vehicle. It is a 13' SR5 Dbl Cab Long Bed 4x4.

    It has taken a couple of weeks of adjusting to the size and feel as I just dumped an 06 F 250 6.0 Powerstroke that was becoming plagued with Turbo and injector and Oil Cooler problems. After two weeks I gotta say I love my Tacoma. After the 250 it feels like a sports car with a truck bed.

    I do miss the size though so after only three days I threw on a ProComp 3" Nitro leveling kit for just a little attitude adjusment.

    Looking forward to Taco Talk with all of you!

    What's up guys, thanks for the welcome...I've been in the South Bay for about 5 years, it's definitely a chill place. Is there a local Tacoma club that you know of?
