    This is going to be more like a 25-year single malt - good things come to those who are patient. Mild not wild, at least for now. I barely leave the house these days, much less go wheeling like I hope to. There is a general long-term plan, but the specifics need to be sorted.

    2019 Sport 6M DCSB in Cavalry Blue. Came with clear PP and decent floor mats. Previous owner I think also had a bed extender

    This is about as much building or modding I feel like doing in the summer around here. My motivation might start perking up as it gets cooler.

    We pulled the trigger on this truck a bit early due to some circumstances. I have been building theater sets for a few years now, and we'd always have to rent a trailer for our CRV. Well, that died last summer and we had to also rent a truck to build and transport anything. So found a six speed in this color and went and grabbed it that day.

    Here it is a few days later setting up for the next play.


    COVID came, canceled all the rest of the plays and now my daughters have quit the theater company at least for this school year. :bananadead:

    So if I stick to my original plan of waiting until the stock tires come up for replacement, I'll be due for the new wheels and tires in about...2023.

    I’m already 18 months past when I expected the stock Toyos to wear out. Just not used to factory tires lasting more than 3 years.

    Granted, while they still have tread they’re now hard as stone. Any water on the road and I’m rolling on grooved slicks.

    They were just individual additional shelves.

    But I'm too lazy to have done that yet.

    Understandable, additional shelves doesn’t sound very rewarding.

    That's the first thing I looked at. MSRP I think is $400. Dealer has it for $375, BAM $355.

    It's not a great deal, but it is a bit cheaper. I suppose I could wait for another sale and get it for about that price new.
