    Just wondering what forum's everyone used to spend all their time on B4TW?

    When I first got my truck I was on Custom tacos, then TTORA right up until I started coming here.

    Well, This is my first taco. I had a Ford F250 and I stayed on Powerstrokenation.com for a year and 1/2. Then one of the guys told me about TW.com on that forum and TTORA. I signed up on both, But I like this board a whole lot better...:)

    I started at CustomTacos researching squeaky leaf springs. My 06 was already lifted when I bought it. Turned out I had AAL's for a Dodge installed.:mad:I didn't know anything about lifts when I bought her. Probs been fixed. I left CT because the I got the feeling everyone there thought I was a retard cause I couldn't do a S.A.S blind folded. TW is much better. A wider spred of novice to very experienced. Not as much HATEN going on.:thumbsup:

    I was looking for a truck and the Tacoma fit the bill, so I figured I'd do some research on the truck WAY before I bought so I'd know what I was getting into, and TacomaWorld is the first one that came up on Google.

    TTORA for a while. But not very active compared to here. Also got burned out on some of the bad attitude know it alls. It is a great site for 1st gen knowledge though. Custom tacos, ultimate yota, toyota nation here and there, but not much. Spent a lot time on a forum board called 805bbr.com but not a truck thing, it's a ocean thing brah...
