    No money, all went to truck...
    I will post better pictures later. TRD DCSB OR Lunar rock.

    Got the truck some initial thoughts.
    -lots to get used to. Lot of improvements from my 2012. Still learning.
    -Very solid, tight, and smooth
    -Clutch is very soft! It also has a weird first few inches of travel where the clutch doesn't engage. It's going to take getting used to.
    -The motor sounds wonderful, might want to get an exhaust later on.
    -There's fins all over the truck! On the lights, by the sideview mirror, so strange
    -The automatic seat has too many adjustments. I can't settle on one. Haha.
    -The paint on the rocker panels are very very thick. I like it.
    I'm sure there's more. Need to learn how to use the screen better and figure out if can customize what I want.

    Modifications are bad and only bad people modify.
    Beautiful. Yota clutches tend to be like this, it's been my experience in my IS300 and 86. You made the best possible choice in options IMO.

    I am one of those weirdos who followed the recommended break in procedure in the manual and changed out the engine/drivetrain fluids with Amsoil and Red Line products at about 600 miles. My MT oil was about half a quart low and the rear diff was also about .4 quarts low. I also installed a JLT catch can. I don't know if this is something that you're anal about but just throwing out my experience in the first 1800 miles.

    There are some amazing trails (and golf courses) in Hawaii. I hope you have years and years of enjoyment for your truck man!

    Thanks! I put in redline in my 12 and it made a noticeable difference. I probably won't drain my tranny fluid. Was it a difficult process? The 12 wasn't too difficult to change.

    Congrats, great looking truck! Did you order from Windward or over on the Leeward side? I have an order in with Windward for basically the same truck in MGM. Any issues with the price/delivery? How long did you wait? I'm being told April build for a May/June delivery...

    Congrats again!

    Mapunapuna toyota. No, everything went pretty smooth, there was a little delay on bringing it up from the port but otherwise it went well. The staff is great.I actually live 2 minutes from the windward dealership!
