    A couple beginner mods, working my way into slowly.
    Greetings- Taco n00by here checking in, its great to have found your site. In a couple weeks gonna hand over my original owner 2001 Tundra SR5 Limited. She'll go to a solid family member that needs a second vehicle a heck of a lot more than what the dealer needed it or wanted to give me for her in a trade. I know what she's worth to me and she's a lot better off to someone that'll appreciate her. She gave me an amazing 389,000 plus miles of joy. But moving into the 21st century I'm loving the new 2019 Taco 2X Off Road a ton and looking fwd to following the group and learning even more as we go. I'll get some "taco as is" pics posted ASAP and some updates as the mods get checked off. Should prolly post some of the old Tundy before she goes...Cheers!

    A couple beginner mods, working my way into slowly.
    Thanks much for the kind welcomes! Wasn't sure if proper TW post etiquette was to continue on my noob thread or start a fresh one so I chose the safe route since I'm not providing much substance really. Its good to have found this and very cool to have a place to go to share, learn new ideas, see sweet trucks and mods etc... Finally snapped a couple pics of my stocker today but did complete my first few "baby step mods" with glove box and center console OCD organizers and a grip of Carina tweaks in the programmed settings, so watch out I'm on a roll LOL. Tailgate theft hose clamp going on this afternoon and rubber bed mat is en route. Good weekend to all!!
