    For the love of god, please let's not turn this thread into the MidTravel BS thread. I already say "what the fuck" enough times every day.

    So if I got +2 TC upfront with hydro bump stops and I have the bamf relocation in the rear with 12's and hydro bumps is it still a midtravel truck?

    Yeah, for an extra 10 grand, you get some stickers and "the best suspension in the entire universe" and some fake beadlocks and lifetime membership to PT Barnum's elite club. Or something like that.

    Don't get me started. I've been on the phone with Toyota sales half the morning. I told him if he doesn't put someone on the phone that knows what the fuck they are talking about I'm taking my 50 grand elsewhere.

    I'm staring down the barrel of a 2012-2014 4x DCLB in the near future...:anonymous:

    Which means selling my 01, just when it feels like it is where it needs to be for me.:bananadead:

    I've been seriously debating getting one in place of my 4runner. I'd love to have a truck again and the wife is on board. Just depends on the price and I'd need to sell my 4runner (which might not be too hard). I'll send you a PM.

    Spent the last week in Moab with my new iPhone 6 plus. Couldn't figure out why it kept over heating, sucking battery and needed to recalibrate the Gyro(or what every it's called). Had to calibrate almost every time I went into the Map app. Well Att sold me a broke ass phone... And Apple gave me a new and gave me 2 years of Apple care. It's always a hassle walking into that store but the customer service is always great and I always walk out a happy camper(wishing I was still in Moab)

    I usually start off by asking a mid level technical question just to see if I got a guy that's gonna BS me or might actually know what he's talking about.

    Example: As I'm standing next to a tundra, with my head in the wheel well, "what's the difference between the Tacoma suspension and the Tundra suspension, and the guy starts quoting towing numbers right off the pamphlet

    (not sure how that quote got here)
    You know it... Every time I have gone down to that auto mall regardless of the dealership they have some stupid comment. You should see how the dealership act around me now that a drive a LX compared to my Tacoma. Pretty sad how they deal with customers.
