    From what I have seen on this forum, Tacoma home mechanics are about the worst I have ever seen.

    Not sure I agree with that.

    We are all here to learn about our trucks.

    Mistakes are made, but we learn from them.

    There are some very talented people on here, and there is a lot of knowledge to be gained. But there are (or seem to be) a huge number of people with no concept of their own limitations. I have never seen so many people get in over their head and fuck stuff up as here.

    I don't disagree. It's only the largest Toyota Tacoma forum inexistent.

    It's also going to be the site that encouraged people to take in their own repairs and completely fix their own trucks properly.

    I agree, the pro wrenches will always be needed.

    Simple repairs that a person only needs a bit of direction and encouragement, this site is the place for it.

    I hate to say it

    Mostly everything is just bolts. This is an old vehicle, anyone can work on it. I understand engine/trans rebuilds but like 99% of everything on these trucks are easy to work on.
