Hello all, :wavey:

I'm newly transfered from Custom Tacos....EODTaco dragged me along with him. I do have to say I like this site a lot better.

A little about me. I was born and raised in New York. Joined the Air Force at 18 and became a vehicle mechanic. Been in almost 10 years now (still E-5 :eek: ).
Married with 2 girls...1 dog and 3 cats...:smilies27 LOL
I'm currently living in the Hampton Roads, VA area.

Anyway on to my truck.
I have an 06 Tacoma TRD Sport 4X4 4 Door Long Bed in Indigo Blue.
Functional Mods so far:
3" Toyotec spacer lift (I have OME springs just need to install them)
Rear Alcan AAL
285/70/17 BFG A/T
17x8 wheels
Weather tech catch all floor mats
Weather tech window vent visors
M416 Trailer

Non Fucntional (i.e. worthless)
Dual exhaust (single in dual out)
Billet grill
dark tint
Painted Headlights
Rear LED tail light bars
Stereo Upgrades

Picture of a family camping trip to Oquaga Creek State Park, NY Aug 2007
Put the stock wheels/tires on for the 10 hr trip up to NY. Best tank was 22 fully loaded up with camping gear.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this site and all it's wonderful members that I've "meet" by trolling for about a week or so.

Waverly. It's about 30 minutes east of Elmira and 1 hour west of Binghamton, right on the NY/PA Border.
