    Just a quick note to remark how great TW is--as are the people on it! :)

    I have decided to get a 2013 Tacoma DCLB 4x4 Sport & Tow. Probably Pyrite Mica.. Gonna add a SnugTop Hi Liner Sport cap (Hmmm--is there some kind of theme starting here? ;) ) I hope to have it within 2 weeks or so. FYI--I was at the Dealer today and they had about 6 2013's on the lot).

    Reason: FUN !! (I hike some and plan on taking it on camping trips). I will also use it as my primary vehicle.

    I also have a C5 Corvette (2004) and a 2000 Harley Road King (with 102k miles on it!).

    I have some questions (of course) but will ask them in the appropriate Forums).

    I look forward to talking with you!

    Gave the Dealer the deposit today... My Taco is due to arrive around Sept 7th.
    One was in the pipeline exactly as I wanted: 2013 DCLB 4x4, Pyrite Mica, TRD Sport, Tow Pkg, Carpet Mats/Sill protector, Exhaust Tip, Spare Tire Lock. I'm also ordering a SnugTop Sport Hi Liner cap that will come with tracks for racks (I use Yakima systems).

    The only thing I plan on doing immediately is replacing the Dunlops with something a little bigger and also with a bolder tread pattern.

    I'll post some pics when it arrives

    :cheers:

    Picked her up this afternoon. Drove--immediately--to Discount Tire and installed BFG AT's in a 265/70R17 size. One bit of bad news: DT scratched one of my wheels--but they promised to order me a replacement (the installer forgot to take off the factory wheel weight and it "rode" around the rim during install). :( I hate to think what DT is paying for a new Factory Wheel....

    Lovin' it already. And I ordered my cap which will be here in about 3 weeks.

    :cheers:
