    yeah dude it looks really good and i do want to do the same kind of set up with the rotos. I just dont want to shoot myself in the foot and not be able to access anything especially when my boat is hooked up and i have both dogs in the camper. I'll do a little more research on them and see what other swing out carriers there are.

    Thanks man, yeah I totally understand I took it with me when I went to Colorado recently and I had a cargo basket in the hitch and had to take it out everytime I needed to open the tailgate. Total pita, but having two spares and extra fuel definitely put my mind at ease, so id say it was worth it. Next time ill just leave the basket behind

    Definitely more pros than cons. I can live without being able to open the top hatch while towing my boat. More upside to having the full size spare IMO...

    My dad's neighbor has fallen on hard times.

    Dad is possibly going to pick up his '07 TRD (model unknown) double cab (bed length unknown) with 61k original miles.

    Garage kept, 1 owner, no accidents.

    I'm trying to get my old man to describe the truck and he says "it's got this big ole thing on the hood"

    So I'm thinking it's a Sport (scoop) lol

    The truck or the hood? If he buys it Im sure he won't want to part it out/sell it.

    Hey man, I'm really hoping to ride with yall. Just need to figure out the specifics.

    Maybe somebody could start a PM with any parties interested.

    Never met his neighbor, I'm sure he's a swell individual.

    Ok, will keep that in mind. Although, I doubt he will want to mess with it.

    Pops called me when he was test driving it and said he really liked it.

    Pretty big upgrade over the '01 (even though it's still a great little truck)
