    You ain't much older than I am. I'm 19 at heart (lower legal drinking age at heart too), so it's all good.

    I had some construction workers at an apartment site wave today, that was funny, but a dude in a sweeeet 2004 rolled down his windows and said "nice truck." Love from a first gen? My heart has grown three sizes today.

    Washed cars today. Miss America's Prius is now as clean as the Ameritruck.

    on ours you can notice the difference a lot more. the passenger side "T" in trd is way past the pointon the rear tail lights facing the front compared to the "T" in sport on the driver side. the driver side "T" is dead even with the point.

    My mud flaps came in today, and my tailgate seal yesterday.

    Gotta wait for the weekend - too cold here right now.

    Not "snowmageddon" cold, but cold for us. Northern T-shirt weather.

    Yep. The new name is blazing blue pearl. There's a gorgeous SWB '07 X-Runner at work, and I've tried to get her owner to join us here. There's a picture of it parked next to mine somewhere in this thread - I'd have uploaded again but I deleted it (phone getting full). I love the color.

    Have you posted pics of your truck anywhere?

    Do you need to know, or care?
    Tailgate seal? Are you referring the to the seals that were left out of the tonneau packaging?

    Ironically, that hasn't shown up yet. No, I also ordered a long weatherstrip that goes around the tailgate and prevents, say, high pressure water from getting in sideways. The tonneau works great for rain, but the tailgate itself isn't perfectly waterproof.

    I'll post pics when I open everything and install it all. Still waiting on those cab rail seals.
