    I had a ‘16 and traded it for a ‘17. 14 months after trading for the ‘17, I got rid of it and bought a ‘10. Im happier with the 2nd gen for sure!

    I use 5200 often and it's amazing stuff. I had to learn to be careful in applying it since it sticks like heck to everything and things can get out of hand fast. I seal spear gun parts with it and it keeps things air tight down past 100' in the water. For cleanup, alcohol, but I'm sure you know that already.

    No matter how hard I try, I just do not like the 3rd gens. Yeah, I test drive a new one when they come out every year. But, it’s just not for me. I plan on keeping my 2015 for the rest of my life. I love the damn thing. And here’s what Scotty has to say....

    question for the group, which OEM online Toyota dealer/retailer seems to have the best price/shipping/cust. service combo

    Haha, I hear ya! The 2nd gen is so much peppier than the turd gen. There were and I think still too many issues with the 3rd gen. Gotta listen to Scotty!

    I like Toyota Parts Deal and Boch Toyota South, they seem to be pretty close on most items and I'll usually fill my cart at each and go with the cheaper one once shipping is calculated.

    I had a 17' too and now with a 14'. Drivetrain and software drove me nuts. I liked everything else about it.

    Ive heard so many people talk about that issue. My 3rd gen was my first automatic I've ever bought so I guess I never knew how it is / was different or worse. Seems fine to me but that's just me.

    Added a TRD aluminum cover for my Volant CAI, complements of Coupe.

    Totally unnecessary expense, and now looking for a reason to drive around without a hood.

    When I found out this existed, I knew I had to have it. Thanks Coupe.

    This was an added benefit, comes with nice backing and seals:
