'17 TRD Sport 4x4 DCSB Build

I'm not aiming to do anything new or unheard of. This is simply a diary of what I've done, and what I intend to do. Feel free to comment, suggest ideas, give opinions, or even shame me on the things I'm doing.

About Me:
My name's Bobby. I'm from Northeast Alabama, and have been living in Florida for the past 16 years. I've lived in Lakeland and Winter Haven for most of that time, but married and moved to Sebring, where I have been for the past 3 years. I work public safety and am a jack-of-all-trades type guy.

I started by trading in my '04 SR5 AT DCSB 2x4 on the '17 TRD Sport AT 4x4 DCSB on 2/11/18. The '17 was a previous lease and had 829 miles on it, and had a manufacture date of 05/2017.

I bought the 100,000 mi extended bumper-to-bumper warranty offered through the dealer, which added about $2,000 to the financed cost. I was offered $5,500 for my old truck, which was about $1,500 - $2,000 more than I anticipated due to mileage and body damage. I financed a total of $31,900 after trade, tax, tag & title @ 2.94% for 72 months.
