Newbie from Naples, NY!

Hey all, new here and to "modern" Toys. I did have an '80 Celica GT, and a '92 sr5, v6 and a cap. Kinda rusty though.

Now I just became the second owner of an '06 TRD Sport Access Cab. So far I'm loving it. (I got rid of an '03 v10 F250 and a "built" '89 K5 Blazer.) I'm hoping on 18 or so mpg. I'll get some pics up later, but it is silver with a Leer cap on it. It has 265/70r17 Fuzion XTi's on it. Six speed manual. JBL stereo.

Reading here the last few weeks, I have done a few of the freebie upgrades, but not too much... yet. (more on the way...if my wife lets me...I do like my nuts right where they are!!!)

So far...fogs on anytime, repaired the compass and thermometer display, (didn't have a soldering iron, so after Thanksgiving dinner, I sat in the truck with a lighter to heat a screwdriver and "re-soldered" the connection, so far, so good), and removed the charcoal filter when I added my K and N. I know, from reading you guys recommend the afe filter, but didn't catch that 'till after I got the K and N.

That will be it for now, no cash left, but a mild lift (2"?) and the next size taller tire. I don't really want to go wider, just a bit taller. I guess my real goal is to keep the best milage I can, and give it some personality to be just a little different.

I am a red-neck with a little poor-white-trash added in just to upset my wife a little. I love my job, family, and God, not necessarily in that order.

I look forward to learning more about this truck, and to use it, not abuse it! I wouldn't mind meeting a few of the "locals" from the area either. I'm in Naples, about an hour south of Rochester.

Talk to you all later!!

My brother-in-law is in Fort Collins. He's a big guy at Lind's Plumbing! If I went out there, there is a significant chance that I would never come home, but yes, it is beautiful out here too.
