The truck was purchased on Nov. 3rd from a dealer up in Kentucky for $20,000. The truck has about 120,000 miles on it, has a clean carfax and is in good shape overall. I traded in my C5 Corvette on it because I didn't ever drive it.

I still have my first gen truck as well which I am trying to decide what to do with. It has about 300,000 miles on it but still runs perfectly.



My previous truck before the 1st gen was another 2013 DCLB TRD Sport 6MT which I had modded pretty extensively before selling in 2014.

 

What part on Nashville you in? Im up here at Fort Campbell but make quite a few trips down to nash

 

I'm in NW Davidson county, just off of I24 between Nashville and Pleasant View.

 

Maintenance weekend on the new truck. Changing oil, diff fluids, transfer case, and transmission as well as spark plugs. Also busy cleaning the mud off from Overland Expo East.

On the fun part side, I entered the group buy for the limited Relentless Fab Stingray bumper, which should arrive in a few months.

 

Did a little black friday shopping and purchased the Icon Tubular Stage 8 lift kit with the RXT rear leaf springs and shocks. Starting to get serious!

 

Top post updated with mods to date. Looking at buying skidplates soon, which will be the last major item for the truck itself.

Also starting to design a sort of "slide out" camper module im calling it. Basically a table with wheels and drawers that will pull out of the bed with water storage, cooler, stove, and drawers and misc storage. Im doing this rather than a sleeping platform over drawers to not lose headroom when sleeping in the back, and the module will be easily removable for the 90% of the time i'm just driving to work or running errands with the truck.
