First I want to thank Adam, Kevin, Brad & Jayce who has helped wrench on my Tacoma.
And to the many others that I have used their threads on the items I have read up on and how they installed the equipment.
Next, I bought my 2001 Tacoma Double Cab TRD Limited new in 2000.
Only major options were the TRD package, Limited package and e-locker.
Please email me with any questions.

TejasYOTA's Q&A Thread - click here
For the modifications listed below; I have provided a hyperlink.
So you can go directly to that thread without needing to wait for all the photos from the other threads to load.
In the beginning, I mainly used my truck to drive to trail heads to either hike, rock climb or mountain bike.
So most of my wheeling were on the original weak ass AT tires that came with the truck and on fire roads and crossing of small streams.
Most of my time, energy and Money :2cents: went to my other ride, a 2000 BMW Z3 2.8L straight-6 Roadster.
As you can see I spent my weekends mainly racing her in three different states (NC, SC & VA).
After my move to San Antonio, I semi-retired from racing, due to the long drives and hellahot temps.
After a few years of not really doing much stuff, I decided to look into wheeling and I found YOU ALL and the TX-TTORA Chapter!
Hanging with the San Antonio crew, was eye opening and amazing on how well even a stock Tacoma could handle most easy to moderate wheeling spots.
Now I had a new hobby to sink my time, energy and Money :2cents: okay most of my money and I still do a lot with my BMW Car club.
