N.B. meet

Had them powdercoated at a local shop and they have help up very, very well. (Aside from where some jerkoff who was rotating my tires marked them in a couple of spots with the socket by simply not giving a shit.) I actually had these wheels on my '07 so this is four plus years of 4 season wear and tear.

 

Truck looks good Marc, lift looks just right.

 

Thanks Vince.

 

Will do.. very similar to mine cept the color... Leather FTW!

You took off your topper?

 

It just needs a set of wheel spacers.

 

Yes, sold it to a co-worker in the spring. Loved it when I needed it, but was on the fence. He asked me if I wanted to sell it, I needed cash so.....

Look closer Grasshopper....Installed two nights ago.

 

Nice, couldn't tell from the angle! They make it look so much better

 

Saw your ad on kijiji a while ago Justin... Still trying to sell?

 

Nope, she's gone. Sold it just before thanksgiving. My new truck should be in Nov. 05

 

By any chance were you possibly going to trade your 2009 into Saint John Toyota but then you sold it privately?

If so they guy I bought my 2013 from at Toyota told me aboutit, I was quite interested at the time...

 

Nice... I recognized the pic right away when I saw it on Kijiji.. knew I'd seen it on TW and that it was a local.
What did you order?

 

I was looking into it. If you were dealing with Chris Thomson, it definitely was. As far as used trucks go, it was mint and done up right. It's hard to find people that appreciate that.

2013 F-150 FX4 Ecoboost

 

haha.. Didn't see that coming. Cool.. That'll be a sweet ride... why the change?

 

As far as looks, can't beat a lifted Tacoma. But, I didn't find the truck comfortable to drive, and I think the 4.0L is under-powered on the highway. I'm also a bit bitter towards Toyota. The fact they are not keeping up with the technology frustrates me. Take it how you will; I loved my Tacoma but I was ready for something else.

 

See you in a few years once the ford breaks down. I couldn't see how the 4.0 would be under powered but I always find automatics feel less powerful then a manual. Assuming yours is an automatic that is

 

I'm not into the ford suck, chevs are no good blah blah stuff. Everything you buy runs the risk of breaking, Toyota's are no exception. I'm not brand biased, and will buy what intrigues me at the time. I may be in another Toyota down the road, but it wont be until they have some modern technology.

 

I was just joking, I'd go chev before ford though.

 

Out of curiosity.. like what?

 

Updated engine and interior gadgets mostly. Sunroof, power seats, rear power window, updated dash (stereo, gauges). Just small things like that. I'm an IT guy, that's what I like to see haha. They may not interest everyone, but for me they do.

 

Have to agree about the stereo.. It's pretty 2003 so-to-speak... (at least, the pre-2012 ones).
Sunroof I couldn't care less about.. I had one in my Honda for 4 years and maybe opened it 5 times. Power seats are cool for the one time I'd have to adjust it..then never again. Read window would be neat.. but I've yet to have the need to open it.
That's why we get what we like though.. power to ya.. make it happen. I'm an IT kinda guy too.. I like my gadgets
