    Retirement comes at you fast. Seems like just the other day I was 50.

    There was a debate about this before so I'm not going to:deadhorse:.
    Personally if you can comfortably afford it.........
    My 2 cents.
    No fault insurance. Devious SOB's, those insurance companies.

    Hey guys, does anyone know what the latest ECM/PCM update is on a 3rd Gen 16' Taco TRD ? Thanks!
    Also, I am taking it in to the dealership today about issues with it shifting/hesitation and it feeling like it is surging. Any helpful tips that you have experienced with dealers and anything I should ask for them to double-check??

    Thanks!

    Word of advice, start savin' NOW!
    Once I retire my mods will cease and it'll be wash and wax only!
    It comes at you fast. One day you're 26 and invincible and before you know it you're wondering what the hell happened. It's almost like you got caught in a time warp.
    Don't let that invincible feeling fool you!

    You're welcome.
    Wish I had planned better! If I had I'd have had the world by its nads and I wouldn't have all these toys that I'll end up getting pennies on the dollar for.
    It was a good ride but if I had my druthers in retrospect I'd have done things much differently.
    You only get one shot at it, you can't go back!
    You know you're old when you start talking like this. :facepalm:

    Have fun but look to the future! :thumbsup:

    Luckily my youngest son has heeded my advice. He has a good paying job with a good pension (started at 19) and is putting 10% into a 457 plan on top of that. He will not have to worry about money in retirement if he keeps that up. I had to raid my retirement for an emergency in my 30's and did not start rebuilding it until early 40's.

    Smart thinking...really...I was lucky in that my Dad was very persistent I finish school and save for the future. The economy has not been robust in much of my working years (still in them!) so he also instilled budget, budget budget. For a while I lived in meh places, drove even mehier vehicles and did meh vacations. My wife and I built our own house (as in with hammer and saw, not "watch a builder") and frankly this budgeting is reason I'm on TW today in that my last truck was a Tundra, but I didn't "need" a Tundra any more so I started my build on a Taco. My strategy is failing somewhat due to TW however, as for example when I saw your BADASS UpTopOverland rack I had to divert budget towards it! You would be amazed how easy it is to avoid wasting cash when you actually use cash.

    As far as a job change...if you can work remotely you save a lot...skips the lunch out and coffee's gas, wear/tear, clothes and such.

    I was not at fault, the other party's insurance has already determined that they were at fault and are going to fix it.

    I've never had an issue like this so I am not sure if I would go for diminished value from my insurance or the other guy's.

    As far as the fronts go, it should be about an inch (having them installed right now). It really doesn’t provide any lift in the rear since the leaf springs are really the “suspension”. However I did measurements before and after and the rear initially measured about 1/4” higher than the OEM Bilstiens. Theoretically this combo should come close to “leveling” the truck.

    I ran 275 70 on my SR5 stock wheel. But had to use 1 1/2” wheel spacers
    It only rubbed when I turned sharp and compressed the front suspension. If I was thinking clearly I would have gotten the same size for this truck and wheels. But I was so excited just to get them installed I forgot lol

    Learned from my dad, that poor man will have to work until he dies. Invested meh but still lost most that with the 2008 crash. Self employed so no one to match or help cover retirement. It was good motivation to just stick with Uncle Sam. You’re at a good age to invest all you can, no sense maxing credit cards and other nonsense just to keep up with the Jones.
