    So to back up here a bit, even before I had a 328xi BWM Wagon I had the F150 FX4.

    What happened? Kids. Life. Long family trips to take the gran kids to NY from MA. And now that is over.

    For the last 4 years of my life, I have obsessed over getting a Taco. Truth be told. I loved my wagon and it was a part of me ( can anyone relate?) but in one case, I took my son off roading up near Berlin NH for some choice fly fishing locations and my wagon bottomed out on probably a Class I. Possibly II but that would be a stretch.

    That was it. Done. I knew that the life I wanted to live and the car that I owned were at odds. So after a great year business wise, last week I dropped the cash and bought a brand new TRD Pro from White River Toyota in White River, VT.

    Still working on getting the registation and plates sorted out, but certainly wanted to introduce myself as a LONG time lurker in this group. Thank you for your ton of knowledge and opinion and pure stoke for what I see as the true adventure brand.

    Oh and I already upgraded my tires to KO2 even before I picked it up. I'm a smart guy - I told the wife I bought the "winter" package and the KO2s were part of the deal.

    Next up.......the most massive lighting kit known to man kind. I can't wait and haven't even started yet on what to choose.
