If you've spent any time in CA, you'll know you don't see neighborhoods that look like that in CA.

 

Well, Santa Rosa is about an hour north of SF, so actually you might. Those houses would cost about $800,000-$1.5 million though. What are they in Texas, about $147K?

 

No, that style of house (see brick 2 story in the back), you don't see anywhere in CA. 800-1.5 would be cheap. My neighborhood median 'starting' home prices is just over 2.1.

I've been to TX for work and always marveled how different the housing style is over there.

 

Ah, I thought you were talking about the yard being green and having trees and bushes. I moved away from the Bay Area mostly because of the cost of real estate. I miss the weather in CA. Living the Pacific Northwest now the housing is affordable, and it's beautiful up here, not to mention some of the best motorcycling roads in the country.

 

Yup... They were nice to work with

 

Lol, that too! I dig the PNW. My family and I took a trip to Seattle and the outlining areas were beautiful.

 

SilverII, can i ask what you paid for your limited

 

Invoice + $500. It was almost 40K + TTL.

4x4, Tow/Cover package, P4 paint protection, Predator steps, tint, carpet mats & bed lights

I've since added LED lights inside and out, mudflaps, bed mat, weathertech mats, wheel locks

 

Dang it... I was just near Grapevine, TX for two days...

 

Just picked up this TRD OR DCLB w/Towing Package from the dealer the day after it arrived on the lot. Before I started researching what my local dealer in Anchorage had available, I was just expecting to get hosed on pricing (as is the case with any purchase made in AK). I called a lot of dealers in OR/WA and gave them a quote from the local dealer and said if they could beat it by $800-1,000 I'd fly down and drive it back up. They basically laughed in my face, but at least I feel comfortable doing my homework! Local dealer gave me a price I am happy with as TRD OR's and especially LBs are flying off the lot there. I realized very quickly how lucky I was to see a DCLB TRD OR in one of my top two color choices sitting on the lot so I made the decision to go for it. Long Bed was a must for skis/boards/bikes/etc.

We got dumped on about 4-6" of snow this weekend so taking it up in the mountains was a good test and the roads were unplowed. Just put it in 4 Hi and it trucked right along. Some winter tires w/ or w/o studs would add a little more traction (so would sandbags in bed) but I'm going to hold off on those till next winter since this one is about over. I'll be adding more pics as I take it out on adventures in the coming weeks (not the best pics but only 2 I have of the truck from last weekend). I posted these pics in the New Member threads as well.

I think the Inferno color looks good in the sun, but is pretty dull in the snow and flat light. BBP looks badass regardless of light conditions and especially in the snow IMO!

 

It was an expensive trip to the city... I'll take better pictures later

 

Truck does look really good in the snow. Mine will probably never see any in its lifetime here in AZ. Welcome to the fourm!

 

Finally got around to washing the truck, then this happened the next day

 

Isn't that typically what happens?

 

Nature's wax test. That's awesome when it happens in pollen season.

It just means Mother Nature likes your truck and wants to wash the allergens off of it.

 

Good point, least I know that wax is holding up.

 

New Yamaha's to match the truck? Nice!

 

I park under some trees at work because nobody else can park on one side. Helps avoid door dings but with trees comes birds........You get the idea. Always seem to walk out to what looks like someone shot my truck up with white paintballs after I washed it.

 

New truck to match the yamaha's!

 

Yes, that sounds much worse! Hope you have a good wax job on there.
