    Hi all,

    I have been a toyota fanboy in general as long as I can remember, but have only been an owner since early 2016. I have been on the forum for tutorials, but never created an account or posted anything. Excited to finally pull the trigger and join the community.

    My rig is my daily driver and has no mods (yet). It’s a 2013 trd off-road dcsb that I bought used with 60k and I love it as much now as the day I bought it. Pending wifeys approval, hoping to get a lift and some bigger tires this coming year.

    I try and bring it off road as much as possible, but there’s not a whole lot in Ct. Looking forward to meeting some locals and getting out to some meet ups.

    Thanks! I grew up in Westbrook and my parents still live there so I’m around the shoreline often. Hope to see you around. I’m still bone stock too. Working on convincing wife on a lift kit, but it’s a tough sell. We bought our first house 3 years ago, and the wedding was last year so it’s been an expensive couple of years.
