    Was there yesterday, don’t normally talk to any sales people but one guy told me they have the only new FJ in the world. It’s a 2014, never had a title.

    Same here, got the truck at ToTB but they have the worst service department. Wesley Chapel Toyota is closer to my house and they are pretty decent.
    Their only issue is being honest about wait times. I'm 3 miles away, so I can come anytime. I've had to wait 3 hours for an oil change which means my truck sits for a while before they even roll it into a bay. I've told them numerous times about this and they are trying to get better. Make sure you get a service adviser assigned to you and ask them specifically how long till a tech gets your truck in the air. I don't mind waiting for them to properly check the truck but I hate seeing the truck parked outside for hours.

    Ugh, he shouldn't have told you that lol. There's no way to know if it is the only one "in the world". Musta been one of the newer guys. You can feel free to look me up next time. I promise you, I just wanna talk about Tacos and Toyotas lol.

    Met your husband (kool dude!) and checked out your Baja, wow she's Awesome! Also, I love what you've done w/ the tailgate/license plate!

    Hah! Yeah, he is a cool dude, isn't he? I got stuck working so he took it in.
    Thanks for the compliments on the tailgate. When I first got her (2015, new to me), was helping a friend move furniture and ended up scratching / denting tailgate. I asked my body guy (aka some dude I found online, but has his own shop / does decent work) how much extra to fab that plate since its already going to be repainted, etc.

    $100.

    Done! Still need a new rear bumper though now...

    Hey All,

    Been reading the TW forum for a while, and finally joined! I did a quick write-up in the new member blog:
    TLDR; I moved outta Saint Pete to NYC about 10 years ago and sold my '00 Pre-Runner and am moving back to Saint Pete to settle down with my fiance and be closer to family. Planning to pick up a '19-'20 Offroad DC and would love any recommendations on dealers to seek out or avoid. I've done a fair amount of online research throughout FL and it seems the Pinellas/Hillsborough dealers are not nearly as competitively priced as some other dealers (Sun/Clermont). Looking to buy around August-October time frame.

    Looking forward to getting back into a truck after 10 years of yellow cabs, subways and Ubers!

    Ok, there are TONS in that area and I'm sure most of them are reputable. I have a guy in Spring Hill, that does all my stuff and friends. So if you don't mind driving am hour, I can get you hooked up w/ him.
