    Hello, my name is Robert, and I have a 2019 Tacoma 4x4 with automatic trans. I've really enjoyed it so far. I'm looking to do all the basic maintenance and some modifications. I've already installed an Old Man Emu 2" lift. It was very straight forward. Just leaf springs and front coil spring assemblies. I paid a little extra to have the spring assemblies put together. I'd like to get a transmission cooler next.

    This looks like a good group! I'm looking forward to checking things out.

    Welcome! I really miss my days in the Mojave. I was stationed in Victorville back in the late 80’s.

    It's about 112 today and kind of humid (for here). The AC in my truck is awesome.

    Nice! Victorville is south of Ridgecrest by about 70 miles or so. It's grown a lot since the 80's.

    I’ve been back out there a few times. Last time was 2016, I actually drove through Ridgecrest then too. I had drove over from Death Valley through Trona. It has really grown! Victorville population was only about 18,000 back then. We used to cruise 7th street a lot back then.
