    Hello everyone. My name is Art, and even though I have been browsing the forum for a few months now, I just recently decided to create an account and start sharing the changes I've made to my 2003 Tacoma.

    Would a "build" thread on the 1st Gen Forum be the way to go, as opposed to creating separate threads for each item?

    Thanks!

    Thank you! It took a lot of thinking to come up with those. Lots of hours spent on the forums. I saw a lot of Quicksand 3rd gens with gold/bronze wheels, and I thought that would be pretty close to what mine would look like.
