    56D6EA6C-213E-4803-AAF4-71289C9041A0.jpg Hello all,

    As the title says I have been a long time lurker, TW has been a great deal of entertainment and information for me since purchasing my 2015 prerunner.

    Thanks for all the help and info I’ve already found and hope for more an to be able to help out along the way.

    And since I know threads are pointless without pictures.

    Meet Checkers, he’s a good boy.

    Thanks all!

    I bought the truck used with higher miles as it was the only one available at that time, and have spent most of the time since then taking care of the unknown upkeep.

    Found out at 140k miles that the plugs had never been changed so that had to happen.

    So many other things along the way but most upkeep is back to spec now.

    Very nice, sadly I was stuck with limited choices due to the shortages we faced the last couple of years or I would be sporting a 2019+ manual. But I still love my 2015 as it treats me right, gonna be posting a few removed items for sale once I hit the appropriate count. That way I can buy more goodies.
