Newbie in AL w/ 96 Taco

dport · 07-10-2008, 10:41 AM

Hello all. Well, I was refered to this site a few months ago by a friend when I started talking bumpers one day. I must say that I have been impressed by everyone's input for other users. Now, here I am. I live in central Alabama "B-ham area" and dreaming of mods for the stocker Taco. 96 x-cab 4wd/5spd with 31 BFG A/T's, sitting at 144,000. I don't do any hardcore wheeling, I just try to get outside as much as possible i.e. camping, riding, fishing. The truck is my "daily driver", but really only gets driven about twice a week since I have a company vehicle. I've only put 22,000 on it in the four years I've had it. My truck is supposed to be getting 2 1/2 inches within the next few months, we'll see how it works out. That wraps it up for now. Maybe I'll have some improvement pics soon. dport.

welcome aboard! be prepared to spend lots of time wandering this site, and be equally prepared for a sudden new venue to put your $$ into.
