    Hey what's going on been reading like a crazy person for the last few hours!!! I've finally realized the dream of getting another Toyota since my first one was taken from me!!! Well sorta she's trapped at the dealership till Monday but I'm still celebrating !!! Let's go back to 2011 when I first got hooked on Toyotas!!! I traded my 91 Honda Crx to a guy who couldn't afford the fuel bill on this beautiful 88 4Runner

    Sadly this one was taken from me only 4months later I got rear ended by a guy on his cell phone the ironic part was that he was driving a Honda and the combination of lift in the truck and him being lowered caused a direct frame impact which bent it and my insurance company viewed the truck as basically worthless I fought tooth and nail with them to try and get it fixed but in the end they just cut me a big fat cheque!!! So I went on a search to find another first gen but alas nothing exists here that old that's not rusted to hell!!! Fast forward to today after having yet another discontinued part break on my crx (I bought another after for runner for those following along) I just couldn't take it anymore so I got on the internet and started searching craigslist first truck I click on just happens to be this beauty

    2009 Tacoma access cab, 2.7L, 5spd, its got 146000 km on the clock which is a little on the high side but not bad, but the best part is that its super clean, never seen dirt (that won't last) my hopes for this truck are to use it daily but also feed my outdoor addiction that has been so hard to do with a Honda although not impossible many camping, dh bike, hiking, snowboarding, maybe some wheeling trips shall be had, its literally killing me not having this thing at home right now !!!

    Anyways that's my long winded intro look forward to getting more into this actually I already have my first mod in mind!!!!
