    Hi team,
    New to trucks and owning a vehicle in general...
    Just moved back to the Bay Area after working 7 years in Asia, where I never needed to drive. Looking into learning more about trucks/maintenance. Always been a tinkerer and I started out with building computers, learning basic plumbing and electrical wiring, so I think I can get the knack of working on trucks pretty quickly. Looking forward to buying a Taco soon (looking at one this weekend).
    Thanks!

    Welcome to TW.
    Lots of good info here and plenty of people who are willing to help. Just remember that once the modifications start, it is hard to stop.
    What year Tacoma are you looking at?

    Thanks Chris - looking at 1st generation, 2001-2004, 4x4 automatic, either extended or double cab. Might take a look at some of the ones listed craigslist in the Bay Area. Just got off the phone with the gentleman who posted this.

    Nice looking truck. Hopefully you find the right one at the right price. And when you do, share some pictures.
