    After a few years of searching and waiting I finally found myself a Tacoma! Currently not making much money so I will be trying to do some free mods to my truck to get started on the customization process. It's got a lot of miles on it but the owner was an older fellow who kept this thing in pristine condition. It's got a beautiful blue paint job and not a single dent in it. The picture I have of it makes it kind of look like the two wheel drive Tacoma, but it's a 97 SR5.
    Haven't thought of everything I want to do to it, and don't have a ton of knowledge in engines and cars, but definitely want to end up lifting it a tiny bit and spacing the wheels out. Would like to put a different air filter and some other mods to give it better mpg. Not too concerned with power as I've driven a 4 cyl Honda Accord for the last 7 years. If anyone has any suggestions for me feel free to let me know or give your opinion as I'm open to any suggestions!
