    You could make a weekend trip out of it, that way if the deal doesn't work, is not a waisted trip. More so I just don't want ya to buy a 16, for some reason it seems like it makes them a DB or something lol.

    Have you tried Costco, they have some sort of car buying program, not sure how it works or if its only for new models but people were saying they have been getting good deals through it.

    I like the white to go with the whole stormtrooper theme, but I have two white vehicles now and want to get away from white. The Quicksand would be a top choice if I was making an offroad rig but I would only take one in Quicksand if it is the Offroad package as the black flares break it up some. It is too much tan for me in the Sport trim.

    I'll remain on my normal DB level even if I have a '16. Still not fond of the front end. But there is no way I am getting a GM twin. As far as making it a weekend trip...I might burn down the dealership if they don't work out a deal after I drove all that way. Trying to stay out of jail....

    I have not tried Costco but also not a member of them.

    Truck still looking good!

    You should have never gotten rid of your old one! Love the way that truck looked. You can let me Satoshi the new one for you!

    Forgot to put this on my earlier post, but I went by Bill Penney to get some oil filters yesterday and they had a MGM and I believe a quicksand getting unloaded off a truck.

    I know man. I regret that decision even more today. You already know what my first mod will be! This one will likely get a lift and some meats. They look much better that way to compensate for the huge grille. The MGM SEMA truck looks good.

    Yea I went by after work yesterday. They had a Silver and Black SR5, MGM 4 cyl., and a White TRD Offroad 4x2. I chatted with one of the sales guys and they said they are selling them for MSRP plus a fee. But I did sit in the White TRD Offroad. It had the moonroof and I dunno if I should get one with it since my head touches the headliner if I am sitting straight up and lean just an inch to the left. With the cover open it is fine. The cabin has the same room as second gen considering it is the same cabin but they lower the headliner for the moonroof. I like some of the gadgets the Tech package comes with but you have to have the moonroof with that package.

    I'm down to MGM and Inferno. If I had to order today it would be MGM.

    You gonna be able to get past the big azz grill? Have you considered a used 15 with low miles? Should be some decent deals on low mileage 15's since people may be trading to get a 16. Just a thought.

    I think so. Once you put on a lift and some wheels with big tires it doesn't look as disproportionate. I have thought about it but I haven't found one at a dealer that is talking any sense on a used one. Found one with 6,000 miles and they wanted $34k. There is a MGM '15 in Michigan. They want $38k. Might as well get the new one with all the new stuff for those prices.

    This is the MGM SEMA build. It looks good to me just black out that grill or Satoshi it. Calling Brian...Brian are you listening? They need your help stat!

    I will have to agree. Looking at used 15's within 100 miles of Bham and you are exactly right. Unbelievable prices on used 15's. Makes me glad I pulled the trigger a month ago and got a 15. Good luck to you.

    I could easily help black out the grill, Marhyde Satin trim paint is awesome for a stock look. I really need to take a look at one to see what it would take to satoshi. I have a 12+ grille satoshi'd and just need to advertise it.

    Does anyone here know about flat screen plasma HDTV? I have a LG 60PK200 and I turned it on one evening and this is what I got. I'm determined to fix this since its only 4 years old.

    There's only one shop that I know of. I'd tell you to swing by my place and I'd do it for you but currently I can only run flux core until I can buy a bottle. If you want we could do that, I just don't like flux.
