    Just to start, this truck and I have a lot of history together.

    This thing was my first truck. It was the summer of '14, and I was 16. My dad had a coworker selling a Tacoma, and knowing my explorer was blowing up, we went to look at it. The truck had 272k on it, and the guy told my dad 2500 for it, not knowing it was worth about 4-5 grand more.

    The truck is a 3.4L TRD Off Road 4x4.

    And so it began. I had my "first" truck. I only had the exploder for about 2 months, so I don't consider it my first car. I fell in love with this truck super fast. The only thing that was wrong with the truck is that it had a small hole in the bed (typical Wisconsin thing.)

    November of '14 came around, and I had read on here about Toyota replacing frames. So, I took it up to the local dealership, and go it replaced. Costed Toyota about $13,000. Me? $0.

    I drove it and did stupid teenage mods until May of '15, when my dad got fired and needed a truck. Who lost their baby? This guy.

    I had way too many cars between then and now. I most recently had a 2001 Tacoma that wasn't in the best of shape, so I traded it for my original truck back.

    Now, I have her again. 312k miles on her, and she runs like brand new.
