    2024 TRD OR long bed
    Technically you could say I belong in this thread now. Lurking and months of looking is over. This TRD OR long bed will be seen going all over the state, razing and rebuilding our cabin, working on MTB trails, at trail heads, river launches, ski areas, and servicing my business.

    I feel very lucky to have found not just the long bed but the package combo and a good deal from Hesser in Janesville. It probably helped to be trading a low mileage Sienna SE.

    There were some reservations getting a light truck again but it will best serve my needs for a few years, and we have a car to complement it.

    True that. Somewhere there is proof that mine was going to remain a parking lot princess... Ah how the times have changed. If you have questions about anything, just ask: spending advice and some amount of ridicule will always be forthcoming (As well as accurate help) from this group

    Great looking truck! And welcome to the TRD OR Long Boi club! It's the perfect configuration for truck stuff and also more than capable enough to have childish fun with hooligans of the type that hang out around here.

    Hope to see that rig out on some trails. Check out the Wisconsin Events thread here for gatherings.

    Mine was stock until I met all of you hooligans.
    No wait. I'm sorry it was changed up a bit before I met any of you hooligans.
    I've just spent more money on it since I've met you hooligans.

    Yea... but I know you are itching to try that 4x4 switch now that your rig is "mostly" stock...

    That's switch probably doesn't even work. I bet if he tried using it, it would probably break off.
