    I’m back on tins forum after being away for several years. I sold my 2006 Tacoma some years ago and recently bought a 2016 Tacoma. The dealership will deliver my new Tacoma either today or tomorrow. I’m not the kinda guy who can leave their truck stock. I will open a couple of threads about my planned upgrades.

    A little about myself:
    I am currently recovering from a stroke that tried to leave me paralyzed on my right side. After the hospital, I spent 2 months in a rehab facility. While there, I regained some use of my right leg and arm. From there, I went to out-patient therapy. My insurance cut me off after 7 weeks. Now I’m doing rehab at home with my wonderful wife as my training partner. I am using a walker and working towards using a cane and, hopefully, walking unassisted.

    Welcome back man. You're a warrior. I've seen people recover from strokes where they were not able to eat or talk after having one and then end up running a marathon. Keep it up.
