    Hi y'all

    Got a new Taco a few weeks ago. Feels good to have a truck for a daily driver again! This looked like a good place with good info & with minimal forum BS. So I signed up!

    Thanks! I still have a 4x4 truck that I built ('62 Willys P/U) it's one of those never ending projects... But this is the first truck I've owned that's smarter than me. I think I'm gonna need all the help I can get! At least I wont be needing to work on the Taco as much...

    Yeah, old trucks are sure a hell of a lot of fun. Lots of good times in that truck. The Willys was my daily driver for over 6 years, and became the dirt bike hauler and all around camping truck while I had a car. The novelty does wear off though after 15 years of liquified kidneys, no AC, and always wrenching on it. The new Taco is a creampuff! It just feels so wrong to be in 4Lo blasting the AC and with my kidneys & lower back still intact! In the end the econobox car got the boot and now I have two trucks!
