    Hey everyone! Been lurking here a few months(since i picked up my 03 tacoma)...started googling all the cool shit u can do to these trucks. Im not exactly new to toyota..just tacoma. Have had a sas 94, some may remember this truck from the nw at places like browns camp...and also an 85 on 49s and all toyota running gear...the 85 has been all over the nw, cali and other places like moab, glamis and some no name trails in montana...it was olive drab and had giant marlin sticker on the removable bed sides. Anyway, i look forward to talking with the collective knowledge here TW...and getting smarty answers to my dumb questions.

    We are about an hr south of fairbanks...somewhere between n.pole and delta. we do have some neighbors but the closest one is ¼ mile away? We live in the sticks but still have electricity a well and septic. I like the snow and dont mind driving in it...wife refuses which is fine with me, i drive most of the time anyways.

    That yellow door and tire is a 75 1ton 4x dodge dually...big truck alomost burried now. The roof snow on the buildings is deceiving as it falls off now and then. The dodge is proof of what we have so for...been pretty mild this really, with maybe 3 weeks total of below zero?
