    Dumped the Tacoma, that's all it needed.
    Howdy.

    Name is Grant and I live in Surprise, AZ.

    Retired Marine, who tinkers in a ton of different areas to keep busy.

    I quit my job as a shop supervisor where we built police cars, utility fire trucks, "amber work trucks" and some off road lighting here and there.

    I decided that I didn't want to go back to work, so I just worked a deal to trade my 2021 Ram 3500 in on a 2023 4x4 Taco Sport Turd (WHY DOES THE TRD SPORT COME IN 2x4?!?!) in the silly Moon Rock color. It should be here sometime between yesterday and Thursday... but we shall see!

    This will allow me the freedoms of still having an off road toy, something else to spend money on, and be able to do truck things with when it comes time to need a truck.

    The fun part will be figuring out where I can get all of my lights mounted and other fun accessories that I had on my Ram.

    I interpreted "make first" as "prioritization". My bad!

    Still excited for you either way!!
