    Hey Everyone-

    New to this forum. Seems there is more activity here compared to others i have been a part of.

    My truck is a 2002 Tacoma Prerunner.

    Specs in this thread on page 4:http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/long-travel-suspension/204577-long-travel-biography-4.html

    Truck was built by DMZ:http://dmzfab.com/taco.html

    Future plans for this year:
    - Cab cage (once DMZ has some space in the shop for me)
    - Fiberwerx Tundra one piece (the first one pice clip i actually like):http://www.fiberwerx.com/html/toyota/tacoma/1piece_gallerytundra.html

    Now here are some pictures:

    Thank you. Yes Tim does amazing work. I believe I was the first tacoma he worked on maybe 6-7 years ago back when he was dabbing on the side from home.

    If you see me, honk at me. This is not my DD but since I got it running again, I will be driving it until it becomes a trailer queen.
