    I hate to say farewell to everyone here... But I've decided to trade the Tacoma in on a larger truck. Not that I didn't like the Taco, quite honestly, I loved it... just time for something larger and couldn't pass up the deal.

    FWIW, I appreciate all the help this forum has provided over the years, the friendships I've made, and I hope that I was able to help someone out in the process.

    For those that I've pissed off - or those that pissed me off - I'm letting bygones be bygones.

    To Neubs (Dave), PresidentRedz, silver07taco, Colinb17, and all the other Maryland based Tacoma drivers... Thanks for the good times off-roading up at Greenridge and running during Snowmageddon 2009-2010.

    For those that are interested in what I got for my slightly modified 2006 Taco TRD Sport with 13330k miles, mind you - it was paid off; they gave me 13,000 even.

    Any if anyone is interested in what I picked up... Red 2011 GMC Sierra SLE Z71 almost identical to this one w/ a 5.3L V8:

    [​IMG]


    And a special thanks to all those that supported me during my 2nd deployment to the sandbox... and to all those that have served and still do.

    Semper Fi.


    (P.S. - I'll likely cancel my account during the next week or so - so if anyone wants to trade contact info, PM me.)

    Yea, if i was to get a larger truck it would either be that or a new tundra. the fuel mileage aint bad really and they are very nicely built trucks. atleast they have a metal floor in the bed lol. good luck with the new ride, and thank you for your service.

    I hope he ment 133,000, b/c 13k isn't much for a truck that only had 13,300 miles on it.

    That's what I am thinking. I've got almost 130k on my '06 and I'm still paying it off. :eek: Next one I won't be stupid and finance for 6 years. :facepalm:

    Build thread in sig...
    We'll be sad to see you go Don! Haven't talked to you in a while, but I've been meaning to tahank you again for that volenteer driving thread during the blizzards two years ago, I volenteered again this past winter, and while there wasn't nearly the snow, i still got two calls.

    Good choice on the new truck too. i was never crazy about GMC trucks in general untill my uncle got a red 4x4 sierra about 4 years ago. powerful truck with great street manners. tows like crazy too.

    Unless your number has changed, i know a few of us can still get a hold of you, so we;ll let you know when the next mod day is and maybe you'll bring that big red beauty out to say hi :thumbsup:

    and hows about one last pic of that nice mustang of yours? :D
