    First pic is the day I drove it home almost two years ago. Bought used from a local dealer. Second pic was taken yesterday after the new wheels and tires were put on. Been on this forum a lot for ideas, like how to switch out the infuriating two speed windshield wiper stalk with one that's actually useful. Next mod will probably be tinted windows.

    I love the regular cabs, especially the 2nd gen ones (probably because they're closer in size to the first gens). They really are great looking trucks.

    Welcome aboard!

    Surprised that your original purchase included 17" wheels.

    I'm not sure that it did... I bought used, with about 30k miles on it. So I'm not sure what all is stock and what's not. Sticker on the door for psi, references 16" wheels. I also removed the aftermarket TRD emblems that were on it. They were getting pretty weathered. Speaking of psi... the sticker says 30psi for front and back. Which is what I've done until I had the new TRD wheels and tires added last Saturday, my guy pumped them up to 35psi and I gotta say, I think it rides better, and isn't as sluggish when accelerating to highway speed.
