    I really dig this new truck, it feels great to be on fresh bearings and true wheels. And traction control works really well on gravel switch back that climb daily. my 1st gen would be in 4x4 at this point climbing the Mountain.
    And it feels good to know for the first time in 32 years I'll have a break from fixing up old cars. which I used to enjoy but need a break so hopefully this it.
    only mods I see coming:
    seat covers
    tool box
    fog lights
    short throw shift maybe
    custom trtle logo

    bought most parts from Toyota of dallas, great discounts by the way.

    coolant loss is not even noticeable to this point.

    never even had a cel on a missfire.
