    Hello everyone, just picked up my first ever taco today.. It is a 13 Double Cab SR5 6spd.. Just thought I would introduce myself as I have been glancing over the forum for the past week leading up to buying it.. Here's a pic of the rig along with my girlfriends little rig too.. I have alot in mind on how to build this truck up and would like to get in on the local rides as im new to the state as well.. Looking forward to meeting everyone..

    Thanks, actually its been my dream to move here since i was 6yrs old believe it or not.. I am originally from Ohio/Michigan and have been living the past 3 years in Wyoming then finally made the move on up late April.. I am currently living in Wasilla and really enjoying everything I have been able to do thus far..

    Thanks for the warm welcome everybody.

    Have loved the truck so far and will be taking a trip down to Seward today after work to get some miles logged.. Have started with ordering just the basics thus far, 30" E-Series Rigid combo bar, hids, tint, weather techs and airbags. Really up in the air on where to go suspension wise if anyone wanted to chime in, I honestly only want 3-4in as I will pretty much have a two place sled trailer locked to the back of this rig come winter "1 month away" Any recommendations.. Toy-tec, EMU.. I wont be running anything but fox shocks so the shocks that come with the kit will be sold..

    Talked to Ben after I ordered my 30" and got the rest of my stuff on order from him, 20" SR light and matching grille.. Cannot stand the factory plastic space grille anymore... Should be a nice clean setup when done between the RI grille with a 20" and the double stack 30" in the lower valance..
