    Hey everyone, recently decided to join back in with you guys after a very long leave of absence.

    The reason I was gone was because, unfortunately, had to sell my '09 V6 DC TRD O/R.

    [​IMG]

    It was my wife and I's only vehicle and we needed a second one. And after taking a vow to each other to not increase our debt, I sold the Taco and was able to get 2 used vehicles out of it.

    Most of you would probably say, you don't need to own a Tacoma to continue on the forum! But the mere sight of other Tacomas would only rehash my wounds!

    So I ended up getting just a small commuter car for getting me to and from work. Cant complain about the 36mpgs

    [​IMG]

    After having that little guy for about 2 years, we decided to move out of Seattle, WA and back down to Miami, FL. My crappy little commuter didn't have A/C in it, so it was a no brainer that it had to be sold.

    So after a very long and very stressful hunt (between people that never did their maintenance or shady craigslist sellers) I was finally able to get myself back behind the 3 ovals!

    Without further adieu, I present my, paid for, '98 V6 Prerunner TRD O/R with only 136k miles.

    Thanks for the welcome! Definitely glad to be back! Can't wait to start working on it/modding it! Deck plate mod is first on the list!

    Or maybe new tires, or 5100s, can't decide! Haha
