    Hello!

    My names Valerie,

    I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6 Xtracab. Got it back in January 2017 in very good condition. One previous owner who was a mechanic and maintained it regularly. It had one minor accident to the passenger side front fender, which was replaced before buying, it was never garaged and the mileage was bellow 150,000. It was up for $8000 and knocked it down to $7200, maybe because i'm a girl he let me take it for that much. :p

    I've always wanted a truck but never thought i would get one anytime soon but then i met my bf who has a 2nd gen long travel Tacoma, which urged me to getting one especially after my car got totaled a year before i got the truck..

    My bf is "showing me the way" to build my truck, which i want to know everything and so far i'm pretty happy with it! Its a work in progress!:thumbsup:

    Now June 8,2018.
    D209B74E-CB3B-4D8C-8DFA-783490E5A4C4.jpg

    Day i got it January 15,2017.

    Will be posting what has been done so far soon.

    Welcome! Lots of great info here on how to modify your truck, just be sure to do your research and don't hesitate to ask questions. This site can be a major drain on your wallet though.

    It just needs a trip to the body shop for a good paint job, because the original 18 years old paint is cooked by the sun and looks like crap...
