Hope the truck that's coming in to the dealer is exactly what you're looking for! If so, you'll be ready to roll in a great 4x4, and if not there are others you'll find. The RIGHT truck will be the one you look over and say to yourself, "That's it, the one I want and the one I need!"

 

correct you are sir!!!

 

my salesman just called me and said they just got a 04 black prerunner in. he asked if i had to have the 4x4........well hell yeah.....i do!!! gotta give him credit though......he's staying on top of his game so far, and the fact that he calls me now, on sunday, is kinda showing me he is trying to help me out.

 

I almost don't blame you for what you may do. I just sold my 2000 prerunner last week and miss it already. They just seem to be a better built truck. Not as roomy but none the less I did not have to fight the damn alignment issues and that trucks a/c was constantly cold. Never had a problem. My 2000 was a work truck and thats what it was used for. Hard work. I beat that truck pretty good,constantly was hauling trailers,loading the bed with wood,sand,gravel,tools,etc and never had any rattle issues or alignment problems etc...Never bent the tailgate either. I'm afraid to even stand or sit on my 2005 tailgate!

 

i may end up missing the room a little, but i think i'll be able to manage just fie, especially since i will have 4x4, and maybe the double cab, if the dc is what the dealer finds. those first gens are bulletproof.

now...........gotta sell my aries bull bar(polished stainless in awesome shape) and also my airaid intake.......going to be selling both of these items in a few weeks or month or so(i took them off my truck yesterday!!).

 

Will the bull bar you're selling fit my '03 DC? More than likely not or you would keep it yourself - but I thought I'd go ahead and ask anyway!

 

its actually for the 05 and up, as i think the mounts are different. i was thinking about trying to mount it to the truck i get, but i have ultimately decided to sell it instead and get myself a good black brush guard......otherwise, i'd sell it to ya.

 

Hey T-progress looking up I see On thebullbar I think you may have an issue cause the boxframe is a little wider on 2nd-gens where it mounts up

 

yeah.....i was pretty sure it wouldnt work. thats ok though..........as i will definitely have a brush guard for it later....along with some sliders too,and probably a 3 inch lift and total chaos uca's......but all that will be in the later future......gotta get the truck first!!! hahaha.......already planning mods!!!


i think when i get the truck, i will be doing the deck plated mod that day, and i will probably buy an afe pro dry s filter for it. damn,..........cant wait man!!


definitely doing my homework!!!!

 

Good to hear Will! Keep it up-keep it rolling and simple-dont let them switch up on you-so when you eventually land on your feet with a strappin 1st gen we all can CRAM this thread with fun mod stuff and your happy times w/your truck

 

Shot me a PM when you're ready.

BTW, you are not in a huge rush so you can afford to be picky. Wait for the truck you REALLY want.

 

alright.....give me a few days on it if ya dont mind. i'll pm ya something later this week man.

 

well said sir!!!!

 

Things are sounding good for you, Will. I'm getting excited for you!

 

appreciate it bro!!! i cant wait!! is it bad that i have already started planning mods that i wanna do????

 

Not at all! I already have mods planned for a 2nd gen that I'm not buying anytime soon!

 

.....sweet!!! the other good thing is......the wifey is actually getting excited about it too!!! that makes it better for me.....because she was kinda hesitant when me and her started talking about it.

 

Always a good sign!!
