    Good evening Forum heads!
    Sadly i made the decision to say so long to my '07 X-Runner just after 2 years. :facepalm:
    Loved that truck and did lots of upgrades costing 4g's. Being near 40 and switching from summer to winter vehicles for years, came to an end when i passed by a Toy dealer last week.
    I saw it, i saw my next ride to be. No more calls to the insurance to switch. No more wondering when the snow will fly and will i be ready for it.
    My days off came painfully slow and thought forsure that '15 TRD Trail Teams Pro was gone to never see again or buy as a Virg.
    For the first time owning the X i hammered on the gas to get to that TRD looking for adoption without a care i was near redline several times.
    She was there..waiting for me. She saw me passing by for 3 weeks, she must have. I parked the X next to her to size her up, comparing the beauty and potential for more places to explore without having to plan a smooth pot hole free drive ever again.
    I traded it in, got the usual dealership snake riding shotgun to test. Fell in love faster than the day i bought the 2wd skirted black beauty thats hopefully passed on to another caring soul.
    Blah blah..payments..blah blah..took it home.
    Not sure how many were sold in Canada but dealer snake-weasel said they have the 3 left and thats it...gone..no more..can't even order these.
    Had to go auto this time due to the 6spd issues that were costly and wasn't planning on replacing all the crap parts again. Mined you, well worth it. Thanks URD for your great products!! Never did install the clutch kit though. If someone needs i still have the kit which is useless to me now. Ask away.
    So far so good with the new Toy except the lack of proper tire balancing. Doing 100kms on the way home was quite the experience and i thought forsure my hands weren't going to stop shaking.
    ...ofcourse they did.
    On the 2nd full tank and its so far the best truck i've owned ever!
    Time will tell but bring on the snow.
    Plans are to mild lift and eventually add some road armour. The chrome rear bumper and bs chrome grill must go too. Other than that.."Gold Jerry..Gold".
    Would love to ask questions but every angle seems to be covered in here. Hope i can answer some and be helpful one day.

    My opinion on the 2016...it would break mirrors if it saw itself im sure. Can't believe that design is going forward. From once sharp looking to a Tundra's spare parts bin frankenstein.
    ..is what it is.
