    I want to put on the bedliner... only thing it didn't have.

    Weather doesnt look like it'll sustain the 60-90degrees I need for application. :/

    Nah... its not getting built!

    Especially after my morning on the phone with Allstate... still waiting on my agent to call me back. The one informing me that my policy covers one thing when apparently the fine print says something else.

    Cliffs notes: agent tells me on multiple occasions when I started modding the truck that aftermarket parts are covered under regular policy. (I tell him it could be $10-15k of replacement value) Estimator says tough luck, your policy says max of $1k coverage for aftermarket. (Didn't have that much in there thankfully). Due to the damage that I didn't have time to fix (subtracted from the lowball offer), I'm fighting at this point for money for the lender, I wont see a dime of it.

    And here we sit. The only good hands are the jail cell bend you over hands.

    Put 150 miles on the Tundy so far

    I'm now used to the Toyota way of building... bland, old technology that people keep buying and want.

    The v8 has plenty of power, I was able to achieve 18mpg in the city (as far as the dash calculator said) but was down at 16 after having to gain elevation to get back out here. Rode nice and smooth, no needle bearing issues here (I hope).

    The rear seat is huge, but theres a surprising lack of storage. No underseat storage bins, no way to get behind the rear seats to access a bit of wasted space. The center console is HUGE, but its just one large compartment, I ordered an organizer to make it a little more useful. They should've done a top and bottom section lid.

    The safety stuff that will become standard on all cars, some of its nice, others are just nannies that promote texting and driving since you dont have to pay attention. Radar cruise control is great, adjustable headlights great for towing and auto high beam headlights make it easy for curvy roads.

    Navigation and entune system is still the junk that a 2005 vehicle had. Kinda ridiculous that they cant do a software upgrade over the course of 13 years. I'm just hoping the bluetooth will work in this one since the Tacoma was rarely useful and I always left it off.

    Plans for it... it'll stay pretty well stock.

    Decked system on order for storage, may build storage/charging station into the smaller side of the rear seat. Haven't had a chance to test the tires in much snow yet, but as long as they are decent, I'll try to stick with them vs upgrading.

    Seat covers, vent visors, roll on bed liner, pretty much the extent of the plans. Maybe a ladder rack/contractor rack. Pop N Lock as well since they still dont offer a locking tailgate. :facepalm:

    I'll still use it to get out to hiking and exploring, but no real wheeling with this one unless they are easy trails with no narrow trails.
