New guy on board in lower Alabama

Hey people, I've been lurking for a while and decided (while my phone performs updates) to sign up and say hey. I have a 2013 Sport 2wd, I purchased it June last year. I sold my 04 SVT Focus because I needed more room for family, I have added a TRD exhaust and body armor step rails. Only thing after that was laminex for the fog lights. So... anyway I don't really intend on any off roading but I am still going to do some small things to make it stand out from the other million Tacos that are out here like a leveling kit and a nice wheel/tire combo. I also can not stand how sloppy the transmission is and lucky me have full access to a quality tech and a shift kit!

Here are a couple pictures of the truck.

The old ride and the new together


Winter ice storm we had, SO GLAD we had a truck and not the car! I love the Laminex.


I call this "dirty" because it is by far the most mud it has ever seen! I don't treat it like a trailer queen but just don't go playing much in the mud. The picture shows the exhaust and step sides too, two birds one stone.


Anyway, I'll be on in my spare time when I'm not working or playing with my son. I have a bit of technical knowlage under my belt, I was an aspiring mechanic until 2011 when I found out I'm better at talking than wrenching. So I'm now a service advisor at a transmission shop, I keep up on training so maybe I'll be able to help some. I have a friend who is in the gulf coast Jeep club and they often do rides, maybe one Saturday we can have a joint group meet with some locals.

Thanks for looking,
Jon
