Welcome, Anne! I'll be a gentleman and resist the urges I've had all

You could have stopped describing the truck after "Toyota Tacoma" and we
still would have agreed with you that it sucks :)

I found the technical stuff isn't too hard - just approach it
"modularly" and pay attention to the little stuff. When I got my '99,
the most I'd ever done to a car was change spark plugs. I've now done
cap & rotor, air intakes, shocks, throttle bodies, ripped half my dash
apart and messed with the fan (among a few other things). I approach
working on my truck the same way I work on my websites and applications
at work - a piece here, a piece there, and eventually you have something
put together. Small pieces are easy to handle, and putting 2 small
pieces together to make a bigger piece is pretty easy.
