Hey guys! I've been working on my '01 Tacoma for a few years now and figured that I should share the build here for others to see. The Tacoma has been on a few trips, and I'm still learning more and more about the Tacoma every day. If you want to read from the beginning when the truck was still stock, then I'll leave a link to my TacomaWorld build thread.

Hi! My name is Cory and this is my 2001 Toyota Tacoma. I picked up my Tacoma back in Early January 2014. Initially, I wanted to keep things tame, but let's be real, we all tell ourselves that. Originally, I told myself that I was going to do "basic" mods. Needless to say that went out the window real quick. At this point, I'm basically building a rig that does it all. I'm actually not trying build the Swiss Army Knife of Tacomas, but at this rate, it'll probably happen. So in the meantime, I'm just enjoying the build process, fixing problem and repairing things as it comes along. Feel free to tag along and say "Hi" on the trail if you see me.
