    Hello all,
    I have finally joined the Toyota Tacoma ranks. I recently purchased a 1997 Tacoma, Ext. Cab, 4wd with the 2.7L/5 spd combo. There are 182K miles on the clock and a lot of work that needs to be done. Hailing from Alaska, that is a given with a vehicle 23 years old. (Those of you that live here know what I am talking about), But I think someone liked to use backwoods ingenuity on some of their work.
    I have been a dyed in the wool Ford guy since I was old enough to drive my first truck on my knees (credit to those that get it!). I am looking forward to comparing the Toyota/Ford design and manufacturing philosophies. One thing is for sure, parts are way cheaper for the Tacoma than my F350. I will be enjoying that!

    Thank you all for the welcome. I have some decent plans for the tacoma, and hope it will serve it's purpose for many a year to come.
