Hey guys, im new here (pics too)

Hey guys, my name is Andrew and I'm 19 and live in Elk Grove, CA, I work at Jiffy Lube up here in Elk Grove (yea yea I know, lol) which is just outside Sacramento. Just picked up my 2002 Tacoma, 4WD, 5 speed, TRD, 74k miles. Its my second car, my first car is an '88 Mazda RX-7. Never owned a truck before and I'm very excited, I love the truck!! I've never been offroading before but I really wanna learn how. I'll probably go check out a few trails around my area and give it a try. I'm new to this whole truck thing so you'll probably see me asking all sorts of noob questions lol, but I'll search before I post. I'm coming from a completely different kind of tuning world lol, so forgive me. Anyway, heres some pics:

Welcome fellow rotorhead!

You'll love your yota, I can't stop loving mine. What's sad is my RX7 gets better mileage than the 4Runner.

Anyway, just like RX7Club, the search button is your friend and please please please be respectful when you wheel by treading lightly. Post some pics of your 7 too.
