    Someone offered me 11.5k for my truck. Pretty crazy to drive a truck for 10 years and 70k and sell it for more than you bought it for. Hoping my 4th gen does the same!

    You dudes been on any runs lately? I just cruised Santiago the other day in the new truck halfway up. Gotta wait until I can get some AT's on it.

    I have mentioned it before, or made similar comments, but if you have never done a night run up Santiago Peak ALL the way to the towers then you are missing out big time!!!

    Quite the experience doing a run up Santiago at night!!!

    Me personally I have experienced "ghost lights" twice. Once with a group of friends and once by myself. No, it wasn't any light from a distance or anything like that. The craziest one was with my group of friends and my friend that was trailing me a few feet behind my truck experienced the same thing and we were both perplexed on what had happened???

    Anyways, it really happened and just no explanation? Could not have been the other two trucks because they were "above us" so to speak on the trail as we were all coming back down from the peak and this was at our "ground level" right in front of me and the truck just behind me and literally just around the corner, which is why I called out over the radio for everyone to stop to let the oncoming traffic pass us.

    But yeah, night runs up Santiago I miss a LOT!!!

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it if you have never done one? :burnrubber:

    So sick! Love that 1st gen Tundy you have now dude. That narrows hike is no joke, huh? When I was out there a few years back, I only made it halfway. The water was waist-deep in some sections so it took a while to hike it. Such a rad place though, like being on another planet. Happy Birthday, Dude.

    Thanks bro, love having a bit more room in it plus more power. Water wasn't too bad this time, there was one spot about 10 minutes in waist deep that you couldn't avoid but all the other spots we could get around them. Absolutely like another planet, took our time and spent maybe 6 hours or so in it. Made it to Wall Street then turned around there. Would love to do it from top to bottom one day! Thanks again, twenty-fine ain't too bad so far :laugh:
