    Hey guys,

    Currently restoring or more like revamping my 2003 Tacoma prerunner and came across this forum. So.. I figured I would join and benefit from all the knowledge you guys have.

    I have a 2003 Tacoma Prerunner. I will post some pics later. It's a black metallic flareside truck. I bought it back in 2007 with 36k miles. Eleven years later I have 199600k miles on it and it hasn't given me one ounce of trouble. I've taken very good care of it. Kept it tuned up, oil changed, and never really beat it up off road. The only thing that has bothered me about it since I've had it is that it doesn't handle what a 4x4 can. I just couldn't afford a 4x4 when I bought it, and I just love it too much to give it up to get one now.

    Since I've bought it I've installed:
    1. After market cruise control
    2. 3" inch lift by revtek
    3. Helo chrome wheels
    4. K&N cold air intake
    5. Aluminum tool box by Dee's
    6. Bed liner by linex

    I'm currently in the process of revamping everything to make it look sharp again and to increase off road performance. I have quite a list of things to do I suppose.

    1. Install and ARB rear airlocker
    2. Better brakes
    3. Black Rhino Warlord wheels
    4. New tires
    5. Revamp bedliner
    6. New Paint Job
    7. Change grill
    8. Winch bumper by relentless Fab
    9. Install a winch

    As of yesterday the rear airlocker is done! I've never had one before. I thought it had a locking rear diff on it when I bought it and is what that ECS button was for! Haha! I now know that has nothing to do with locking the rear diff. I promptly went out and put it to the test yesterday. I'm very satisfied and happy to report that it got me unstuck in slick mud.

    Today the bed liner is being redone. I will post pics in the appropriate thread as I go through the process. Thanks for having me and I hope to learn some cool stuff from you guys!
