    Hi!

    Tacoma.jpg
    So I finally bought my first Tacoma.

    I've been a fan for a long time, but this is my first purchase.

    I picked up a 2003 Tacoma V6 SR5 Double Cab with 140,000. I wanted to get a 4 cyl., but all of the ones I found nearby were a little shady, I got tired of waiting, so I pulled the trigger. It has newer Bridgestones and I'm looking to get a shell this weekend.

    I'm in the Bay Area, CA (San Jose). Any toyota mechanics come recommended? I'm planning to take the truck in to get a once over here soon.

    aaaaaaaand......

    Now it's time to part. 187k now, still in the Bay Area, but I need better gas mileage. I've moved to SF, but still live in SJ.
    It has a shell with racks now. Looking for 9k
