I just want a chance to introduce myself and let folks know a bit more about me so I'm not the strange creepy guy in the corner with the Tacoma next meeting.
My name is Josh and I live in Greenville, SC. I currently work down at SCTAC (Donaldson Center) with the Army Reserves as a civilian mechanic (HMMWV, HEMTT, 5-Tons, anything that rolls basically and some things that don't). I'm also a Sergeant in the Army Reserves, I was on active duty for 3.5 years up in Ft. Bragg, NC, went to Iraq for 15 months. Came back got out joined the Reserves I've been in for 8 years. I'm originally from Colorado, but have lived in Illinois, South Dakota, Wyoming, North Carolina, and now South Carolina.
Enough about me on to the truck
.
I have a 1998 Toyota Tacoma regular cab with a 2.7L 3RGFE and a W59 5 speed, I originally bought it off of EBAY while I was overseas 6 years ago. It came bone stock with 132k on the clock. Since then I have put on :
2.5" Rough Country suspension lift (Hockey pucks in the front lift shackle in the rear)
Put on and took back off a 3" body lift (got to get low enough to get the wifey in
)
35x12.5R15 BFG ATs with about 60k miles on them
Trail Gear rear bumper, and what started off as a 4xinnovations front winch bumper that has been cut down since I originally bought it for the body lift
Superwinch Epi 9.0, 9,000lb winch (saving up for synthetic line)
Lock Right in the front axle, and just got the Powertrax No-Slip for the rear yesterday (WOO HOO!!!
)
Electric radiator fan out of a 2001 Chrysler Concord (dual 12"), Hayden thermostat control.
New timing chain last Christmas (what a pain)
Odds and end and 201,000 miles still going strong.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and getting a chance to get out and wrench and wheel.
