    Thats cool about the JBL system. Wish is was an option for the MT. I test drove an automatic and liked it, but It's hard for me to give up my manual ways.

    Man your lucky I have to drive a fair distance just to reach a mountain. It's like your driving a range rover but with a better brand and a bed in the back. And that's normal in all vehicles new or old.
    For example:

    Go to 5:08 and you will hear it's normal.

    Hmm, yep that sounds similar, my '98 tacoma didn't make any noise but I'm sure it's built a little different.

    I think it's great for what it is. I don't really need much more. I will save that for my car and some sundown goodies again. The truck is my wife's dd. I had no desire to install a system for her.

    I know it's off topic, but a few more off road pics.

    Sweet Pics. I'm officially excited. I ordered a DCSB TRD OR MT w/prem-tech pack in red. Can't wait. I was surprised to see so many Tacomas on the lot today. There were 11. 4 had sold by the time I left. I sat in one with and one without the tech package. To be honest, I liked both. But since I plan to keep this truck for a long time, I figured I'd get all the options.

    Go pros especially the mounts are expensive. I can see this being very useful for a good off roading video.

    Drove mine home tonight and tested this at 85MPH - wow! You can either pop it up - which is really quiet or you can retract it which created some noise but not enought that I felt compelled to turn up the volume on the JBL ... which is pretty sweet in my opinion. Love having a sunroof.

    6' 2" / 34" inseam - clear with about 1.5" but I can see if you sit bolt upright you might touch if you were built the same as me but you would not be comfortable sitting that straight up.

    It would look cool with some mud on it. It goes to show that all the girls know your not afraid to mess something up because they think you got money. :laugh:

    I'm a little over 6ft tall. Tried sitting in the limited, i do sit upright due to back problems and my head was touching the ceiling, with no ability to change seat height. So sad i'll have to forgo the tech package. Still not sure if i have enough room with no moonroof esp with bumps. I'll have to test drive again.

    I'm 6'2" and I do not sit super upright but more than most and I clear the moonroof w/about 1.5" in my seating position but it is tight.

    I love the moonroof, I have to agree that it is the most quiet moonroof ever. I always keep the shade open so it really brightens up the cab.

    It's a very expensive option for what you get...Moonroof, blind spot monitoring, cross traffic rear monitoring, and the cell phone "chargy" thingy...

    Not worth $4,000 cdn, but my truck came with it and I was not going to wait any longer... So I bent over and they gave me a moonroof..!!

    My 2 cdn cents worth... ($0.01 US)....hehe
