    After months of research I bought a new 17 TRD OR DC 4X4 in quicksand. Much more refined than the 99 but not as much fun to drive because of the auto trans. Ride is smoother and more like a modern car. I don't plan on selling the 99 and hope the 17 is half as good as the 99.IMG_1273.jpg

    I have installed a Bakflip F1, BedSlide 1000, dash cam & have new grill on the way. I'll have a police scanner in it in a few days too.
    I thought I wanted a blue truck when I started looking and it got to be TOO blue after a few looks.

    I'm tooling around in my QS Taco too! Mines a Sporty, and I get lots of comments on the color. My kids don't think its all too cool but I told them to sit on the couch, I'll be back later! I guess you either love it or hate it! It's like who cares? It's mine and I hope it lasts me for many miles and lots of smiles! Right? Congratulations on your Sandy Ride! Rock On!

    Does the bedslide bolt onto the existing bed bolts or did you need to drill? Can you slide out the bed and take a picture of how the bracket/frame bolts onto the bed? Thanks!
