My first new vehicle (Longest INTRO thread)

Read through a bunch of posts already. Lots of great ideas here! What did we do before the net?

 

Hi Guys,

I recently bought a used 08 trd offroad. I have been reading the forums for a while now and I have to say there is a lot of great information for Tacoma owners and buyers. For my background, I previously owned a Chevy1500-7 trannies later-(not the ones in Cherry Grove) to a Dodge Ram 1500 1 Tranny and 250k later I stepped into a 08 Tacoma. I love the truck but I need a lot of good advise. I am sure I will find it here.

 

nice first!

 

just signed on ladies and gentlemen,
This is my first time blogging, i think it may be interesting, shouldn't be much different from face book. Either way one reason for my interest on this site is the search for answers. To begin with i drive a 1998 tacoma 4cyl manual, nice truck but has 205k miles. But back to the problem i am having and if anyone can answer id appreciate greatly, my tail lights keep failing and she keeps blowing the fuse, i have replaced the fuse 4 times now and the first two times i did i replaced a starter to power it on, the second i needed to replace a different part under my steering wheel, sorry my dad's mechanic fixed it, either way im back up and running for a few days when i notice the tail lights are out again!!!! help?

 

Welcome bro! You'll find a lot of good people here! Don't be afraid to ask any question. Most likely, someone else is wondering the same thing, and is too embarrassed to ask. Have fun modding!!

 

Welcome to TW i am also from spartanburg

 

Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Matt from Memphis,TN and own a '08 Tacoma 4x4 reg cab. Cant wait to start a project build as I have seen a lot of nice trucks on here. Looks like a great place to find answers and get ideas.

 

Just bought a 2007 regular cab 4x4. It's good to be back in a truck, and a Tacoma at that. Memphis, TN

 

Gotta admit, there's nothing like having a truck...2011 4dr PreRunner

 

I just picked up my first Tacoma last week. 2011 V6 4WD double cab in white. I love it! There is a wealth of knowledge here dealing with everything Tacoma, it is great.

Hey all... Lurked for a few weeks, decided to join. Bought my first Tacoma a few weeks ago, she's a 2003 TRD DoubleCab, all stock for now. I've had plenty of daydreams of stuff I'd like to do, but with a new kid it'll probably be a very slow progress, but I hope to have a lot of fun with the truck either way.

Welcome! Congrats and nice truck!

I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to post on this thread. TW rocks! The knowledge and info here is endless.

 

Just following the trend and finally getting on TW. Great source of info, awesome community. Good to be here, and better to be driving a Taco...haha.

Replaced an ailing Jeep Grand Cherokee with a '06 Tacoma, PreRunner DC SB, V6. Didn't know man could love machine as much as I do this truck, but damned if I'm not gonna find out!
