    Hey everyone. I've been a longtime lurker and recently started posting so i figured i should introduce myself. so a little about me and my truck:

    -I'm 23
    -love my truck (2011 DC TRD Sport Metallic Grey)
    -From Regina, SK Canada
    -Have a few mods done with many more planned (check profile for mods done)
    -Was an autobody technician for a brief moment in time till i crashed my motorcycle and broke my back. Now I work as an automotive repair planner at the same shop trying to stay updated with the latest in the industry.

    I think thats about it for now so i'd like to say thank you to everybody that has helped me already(by using the magical search feature!), and everyone that will help me out in the future. This site is truly an asset to all tacoma owners. Anyone that want's to chat or ask questions fire away or shoot me a pm. i'll try my best to contribute if i can and have the chance.
