    My first vehicle ever was a 1/2 ton single cab with an inline six when i was 16. Gutless. With the gas tanks mounted on the side that exploded on impact, lovely.

    So i spent the next 20 years driving sporty vehicles.

    Nowadays i have a toddler and a wife so i went with the double cab. Went with the 6' bed because i already have an SUV, and the whole hooking-the-trailer-up whenever i needed to throw something i didnt want to share a cabin with got old. So might as well get the LB.

    She's a 2014 w/ 14,500 miles at purchase. That was back in april, she's at 20k+ now.

    Only thing i've done so far is accessorize. All weather mats/bug guard. Debadged. I'm eyeballing an ARE MX, 265/70/17 bfg k02's on TRD forged wheels. No lift plans at the moment. I come from vw/audi/spec miata background so i'd like modding based on a principle of first "do no harm"...followed closely by the second principle of "make sure it can still fit in my garage"
