    All the things that help or make me happy
    ....but I gotta get over this social anxiety somehow. Figured after months of lurkin' it was time to come in and say hello!
    I've been driving Toyota trucks since the mid 90s but they were all owned by my employers. This is the first I've owned personally, and my first new vehicle ever. Gotta say I'm having a blast making it mine!
    Looking forward to learning a bit and sharing the little I got. Please pardon any awkward missteps here. I'm new to the world of forums.

    Here my toy, plus a pic of me and my team of engineers doing some work yesterday.

    All the best y'all!

    Thanks! And 'sweet truck' to you as well! Is that a fly rod carrier you have on the shell?
