Hello

Made an account awhile to PM a member here to buy a Tacoma, deal never went through. Anyway last night I made a deal for a 2003 DB 4x4 (not TRD). Hopefully to have it in my driveway next weekend(have to travel for work and wont be home). I will be in the 1st gen section of the forum, mostly lurking.

Hope to post pics soon....
