    Just following the RULES.
    Got a '11 Prerunner yesterday. My biggest concern is the interior smells. Like the dealer had air fresheners in it when I test drove it but now it smells. Maybe previous owner smoked or something.
    So anyway, I'll be using it as my daily. I'll also be taking it camping, either tent or pop-up. It will see bikes in it's bed more often than not. In the summer it will be called upon to tow my boat a few times. Maybe some hunting trips as well.
    That's about it, I used to have an'08 4Runner so this vehicle is no stranger to me.

    I like ozium, they make a spray or these gel tubs that you put under a seat and they work really good. Available on Amazon, walmart etc

    Hey thanks, I’ll definitely order some ozium, already ordered an electric ozone thing for it but I’m panicking about it so might as well go overboard

    Like the second you register you get an email telling you to introduce yourself. So I did!
    I believe the "use the search option before asking" statement was attached as well.
    I used to be on the Xterra forum, whoa boy did those guys get mad at you for asking how to do a fog light mod. I believe you would get booted from the site if you asked "will these fit?" too. The guys on the Titan forum were pretty cool. VW Vortex is a bizarre mix of super helpful enthusiasts and trolls.
    I've been lurking around here for a while, thought I was going to buy new. Even had Mrs Clam down with the idea. Then the other day she said she wanted to see the truck I was looking at (an '18 SR5) and the dealer had just taken in this truck. She' getting a new car in the spring and I just didn't feel like having $70K worth of car payments in the garage.
    I'm pretty easy on my vehicles so I think this will last me at least five years with routine maintenance. If it's still going strong after that (read: not rusted out) I'll keep her around or maybe treat myself to a newer one. We shall see I guess.
    And I think this may not be a popular opinion around here but dayum that hood scoop makes me giggle every time I look at it, love it!

    Welcome!

    For the smell, I would rent a shampoo machine remove the seats and clean everything.

    Hey Matt, I’ve been spying on your bed lights. I need to read your thread all the way through. I’m not on bookface so it’s hard for me to see your lights. I’d love to see the installation instructions if you have them handy.
    I’ve had every inch of the cab shampooed and have a freebreeze air freshener in there. It’s about 80% better. Waiting on my ozone generator thing.
