    Thought I would drop by to send a thank you to everyone here on TW. The amount of information I have obtained has been awesome. Unfortunately I have had to make the painful decision to trade in my 2005 Tacoma for 2009 Corolla XLE. I just couldn't justify continuing to drive my Tacoma to and from work at 15 mpg and paying almost $500 a month in payments, not to mention financially the numbers were starting to not line up. Hopefully at some point in the future I will be able to get back into Tacoma when it makes sense. Thanks again to everyone that has helped me over the last couple of years.

    to the OP: I see the list of mods you did to your truck.....if you had left it bone stock, would your gas mileage had improved? I can't see getting good gas mileage with some of the mods you had on your truck:confused:
