    Personally, I would leave it exactly how it is. Just maintain it. With such low miles and records, you won't lose money on it when it comes time to sell if you keep it stock.

    I believe there was a recall on the leaf springs. Check it out before you pay for new ones.

    Yes indeed - the service manager already ordered the parts and will call me - on them for sure. I did not notice it at first but the springs are reallllllllly saggggy right now.

    that did cross my mind - but then I would end up with a truck that needs much more work... This thing is new - the stealership was so shocked - they were discussing if the dealer would make an offer. I told them don't waste your time.

    I am not done with the blog post yet but here is the preview of the Alpine install... one item I did NOT know about was the nice lighting touch at night. There is a LED strip at the bottom that adds a soft glow behind / below the radio.

    Last pic of the cover that came with the truck. Washed her up and put her to bed... See you next weekend.

    Congrats @2005_Tacoma Nice find, but what I really like is paying cash! We pay cash for everything too, well done.

    INDEED (pats Bannerman on back) - CASH is King - Debt is slavery... Pass it onto your kids, they will live a much happier life with less stress.

    Our first kid is due in a couple weeks, you can bet we will teach them how to win with money.

    WOW that is awesome - way to GO! - we need more people understanding what equates to freedom... having the latest Tacoma and $40k + in debt can potentially keep you in a job you MUST have vs. perhaps saying I have an opportunity over here. I wish I would have been in your position 15 years ago when my oldest was born.
