    Hi Everyone!

    Didn't think I would take the plunge, but after having to do a 5 day a week commute again into the city for the last year and a half plus more companies/agencies clogging up the roads again in recent weeks with their RTO requirements, the manual 3rd gen had to go.

    Ended up in an Off-Road with premium package in Terra color. Picture tax below from when I picked it up this afternoon. Already learning a ton from the fine folks here in the 4th gen forum section. Looking forward to adding some accessories soon to get back to where I like things.

    We've all been wondering where you disappeared to!
    I think a couple of the fellas over in 3rd Gen put out a BOLO a few weeks back

    Congrats! I, also, don't get folks commuting (in heavy traffic) with a stick. The clutch life must be dismal.

    Great truck.

    When you pull the chin off, make sure the holes bottom-side of the lower control arm are plugged. Thank me later. Congrats!

    It was sooo fun for a while, I had missed it after years of automatics but it just became too much of a quality of commute life issue for me.

    I agree! Had my first drive into work this morning with it and things felt really nice in my eyes.

    That’s why I switched to an automatic 30 years ago.

    Terra looks good on the OR!
