new here

I'm new to this forum. i've been posting a few pics in the funny images thread. I don't currently have a toyota of any kind, but am in the market for a truck. I'm debating through the process of going for a new 2015 now, a used one with less than 40k miles, or waiting until the 2016s are out.

I'm currently driving an 06 ridgeline with 150k miles on it that I'm tired of fixing. I got it at 110k miles and have replaced... 2 motor mounts, cv axle, radiator, power steering pieces, thermostat, and then some regular wear parts like rotors, pads, tires, etc. The newest problem is a leaking rear-main seal...not exactly a DIY sorta thing.

I'm in the nashville area. I live in murfreesboro and work in nashville.

that's all

later,

Welcome to TW Stephen

 

Welcome Stephen. Ditch that Honda money hole and Taco up!

 

Welcome!

 

Well after a year of waiting and hemhawing, I finally snagged a Tacoma. It's an sr5 long bed 4x4.

 

Welcome to tw!

 

I've been here lurking and shopping for a year. =D

I suck at making decisions.

 

Looks good!!!!

Ah man taking time to make a decision means it was the right one to make!!

 

I was actually scheduled to go buy a wrangler after lunch, but decided I'd regret it if I didn't at least test drive a new Tacoma. The technology in the Jeep just seemed so dated.

 

I have heard from more than one person. A bunch of guys i work with has bought them and one guy was looking at them and he said that he wasnt very impressed with it so he bought something else.

 

Glad you decided on the Taco. Great color too!

 

First order of business is some side steps. The taco is quite a bit higher than the ridgeline and my kids are having trouble getting in... Also I don't want the side of the driver's seat to wear out from sliding off of it.

 

Oh I still want one, but I'm an hour from work each way, so 2 hours on the interstate. I also like to buy stuff like mulch in bulk (couple times a year) and haul a mountain bike (couple times a week). I sat and thought about how many accessories I'd immediately need for the Jeep just to do my daily activities. I may eventually look to get one as a 3rd vehicle, but not a daily driver.

 

Welcome!
