New Toyota Driver
« on: Jul 29, 2013, 10:55:56 AM »
Hello -

I am a new driver.  I have always been a passenger but this last winter I grabbed up a truck that has been in my life for the last 12 years.  I am now learning to drive a 93 Toyota Pickup.  It has everything!  I am pretty lucky.  Just did my first trip to the springs in Rubicon.  Really excited!!

Jess :D

Going slow is the hard part.  I just put 4.7 in my transfer case this last weekend.  Baby steps!
