    Hey everyone,
    This is my first tacoma, well, truck rather. I've always been a car guy, specifically mustang guy. Too many winters driving an old saturn got me to finally upgrade to something that can make it in snow.

    Bought it about a month ago and love it!

    Current maintance/mods:
    grey wire mod
    alarm upgrade (wire disconnect)
    air and filter
    plugs and wires

    future:
    5100/5125 shocks (bought but yet to be installed)
    coolant flush (bought but yet to be "installed")
    idler pulley bearing change (squeaking) (bought but yet to be installed)
    deck plate mod (bought but yet to be installed)

    Hopefully the squeak goes away after changing the idler pulley its pretty annoying, haha

    Congrats on your first Tacoma. I have to say it looks like the original owner took great care of it.
