Allow myself to introduce my...self.

Hey there. I've been lurking on these forums for about a month now. Last month I bought my first Toyota. In the past ten years, I've owned a 94 Nissan pickup, and a Chevy Silverado.

I am very excited to own a Tacoma. I drive a different truck for work, so I get sad when I don't get to drive my truck that much during the week.

 

PRERUNNER FTW! grats on the truck

Since you don't drive it much during the week more money on mods!

 

Congrats. Nice truck

 

Love that blue, wish they would bring it back!

 

I've already done some minor mods to the truck. I'm just not sure if I should post them here in the "New Members" thread or in the "2 Gen" board.

 

Thanks. I really like it too. My biggest debate when I was thinking of buying it was that it was blue (and the dark blue). I live in the SW and it is sunny and hot. In the summer, the cab can get real close to 150+ degrees. A lighter shade (white, or silver) would definitely help with the inside temps.

My other issue that I need to address is the 8 year old paint. Since I bought the truck used, I don't know if the truck spent it's entire life in the desert or not. There is some oxidation on the hood already. I need to go ahead and combat that early.

I'm also thinking of plasti-dipping the hood (inbetween the plastic rails) white or gray to help combat the heat and oxidation. This would be the easiest, quickest fix. At least it'll put a "freeze" to the oxidation.

 

Nice truck! Welcome aboard!
