How bout I just send u to my buddy that does mine?? Only guy I will ever let tint my vehicles!!! Does all the tinting and clear bras plus some other stuff for Ferrari of Tampa Bay!!

 

haha, i was joking, preciate the offer though, if i need another vehicle tinted i'll keep you in mind, i got mine done at Alarm's etc. in tampa, (bought it through a groupon) will never go there again, sloppy, and the guy was a dick.

 

Exactly why I only let my buddy do it!!! I have OCD when it comes to stuff like tint work. It has to be perfect!! Plus I send him so much business he pretty much does my vehicles for the price of film. He also hooks up those I send to him!!

 

as for the new truck, i say if you're in the financial position to do so, then GO FOR IT!! it's always fun to have nice stuff. Me personally, since I live down in Ruskin near canals and the water, I would prefer to have a boat and keep my truck. Just my thoughts, i'd rather have more toys that are not as nice. But I can't really afford either, but that's a diff story

 

What I owe on my truck and what trade in is almost the same. Pretty sure I can trade and extend payments and be making close to the same payment for a 4 year newer truck that has no miles and is exactly what I want!!! Gotta talk to bank and dealership and see if the plan in my head coincides with reality!!

 

that sounds good, best of luck and enjoy! r u thinkin bout 4x4 or prerunner, what color? I know u said long bed, so that's gonna either be sport or sr5, or were you thinkin access?

 

I want a Black DCLB Sport Pre Runner with roof rack. Think I can get it for 27 or 28k otd? I sold my stock wheels so, I will let them put the sport wheels on my truck and my konigs on the new truck as well as the lift, bed extender, air intake, and stereo. I still have the stock air intake and stereo.

 

I'm not sure how the 2012s are priced in our area, but when I was looking at 2011's in aug/sept, the best price i could get was 27,700 otd for sport pre runner, that's with a new tag, so you'd be a few hundred less if you transfer. From what it seems 2012 are a tad more expensive, and long bed is bout 500 more right? also, i would think ur exact truck black long bed might be unlikely to have in stock, so they'd have to trade and not deal as much. Long story short, i think 28K is pretty reasonable, but they'd have to stretch a lil. dealer i got that quote from was courtesy in brandon, i called all around, nobody would even match it, let alone beat it.

 

regarding stock wheels, I have a set of trd sports I would love to give you so you can trade in with your truck if I may have the other ones with new tread. I'm not sure if that would affect your deal with the dealer or not, if it does as far as money wise on your trade, then don't worry about it. I'll even come over and put them on your truck for you

 

now that I think bout it, i'm pretty sure u can swing 27-28 cause they're gonna make money on your trade for sure

 

I looked at buytoyota.com which shows upcoming trucks and there is one available on the 25th!! I figured 27k would be low but that's where I am gunna start, think if I can get it for 28 or 28.5k otd I would be getting a great deal!! The intake didn't change correct??

 

yea I'm pretty sure it didn't

 

Even if it did I would keep it and sell it on here. I would definitely let u put ur wheels on before I trade it in, it shouldn't affect trade in price. I would rather a buddy benefit than the dealership. The more I can switch out beforehand the better. Figure I will let them do the lift kit as it will only take them an hour to do and they can re-align the front end. The stereo will be a pain though as the double din dash kit is different and they haven't come out with a 2012 kit.

 

oh damn, now that I think about it, i think I read about intakes being different part numbers for 2012, i'm gonna search for it now, and as for the wheels thank you

 

I know the intake is different on the 2012 supercharger kit, but not sure about regular intake??

 

this wasn't what I read before, but something related

more specifically post #9

There's only 2 options for the 12 that I've heard of, the URD and Volant (I think it was volant...).

Since the 12s added an emissions pump in the fender air intake area, many of the aftermarket CAIs don't work, unless you relocate the pump yourself.

don't know if that's really true, but makes sense

 

Just read the same one myself.......guess my TRD CAI will also be forsale if I can work the deal??

 

sounds good, im routin for ya whether or not you end up tradin your truck, i really appreciate your generosity and willingness to help out, keep us posted!
