    Gotta do more highway miles and figured I would make them a bit more comfortable. I was looking at the 4th gen but wasn't quite sold. I would love to stick around, if allowed...ps these wheels gotta go!

    Congratulations on your new truck. No reason to go anywhere else. The GM forums suck anyway.

    I’m still confused. I know you said it’s you, but why?

    No fault of the tacoma, at all, I just wanted a better ride on the highway and some more mpg.

    Please do! Nice truck but I don't know If I could actually go GM. I'd go Frontier first.

    I had a commute for a while that was considerably longer than my current, I removed my sliders, think I gained an mpg. Considered another set of tires, but the gain would not have justified the overall cost.

    Nice new truck Bart. I got my 5100s from you a couple of years ago. You got anything left over from the Tacoma?

    Cool! Great to hear from you. Most of the stuff is cleared out, I do have the front bumper skin parts, unpainted, to work with an off road bumper. I will check the attic to see if I have anything else up there tomorrow. ...oh I do have a winch laying around.

    nice looking truck. if they offered a 6-foot bed i would own one. i bet there is a very noticeable difference in quietness, comfort, and refinement vs. the 3G taco.

    enjoy, and yes stay around and keep us updated.

    Sometimes change is good. Congrats on the new truck. I hope it gives you years of good service :thumbsup:

    Those wheels remind me of something though...

    Congrats on your new ride, it is new ride season. I just impulse bought this new whip after having my old toyota avalon get towed away. It was time to cut my losses and move on. My truck is paid off and sitting in my driveway still dont worry. This new car is so smooth, its really nice, its growing on me

    Thanks. I’ve been waiting for these wheels to show up. Didn’t want to have to search for them on my own.
