    Hi y'all
    I am literally sitting at the dealership right now waiting on my new Tacoma to come around the building. Just bought it from Olathe Toyota due to knowing the finance manger. I just traded a sweet fully loaded11Dodge Ram Mega Cab Lariet Cummins for this truck. It's kinda strange. I love the Tacoma don't get me wrong but it's a major down size in hardware. Plus -side-no more freakin stupid high diesel fuel prices, better mileage, and easier to park;) I got them to work me a deal on some 16" TRD simulated bead lock rims and BFG A/T's they had laying in the service department they said they came off a FJ Cruiser.
    I am looking forward to getting this thing lifted and outfitted for some Colorado trail running and Overland camping. In my title it says "not new to Toyota" because I grew up with the trucks my Dad drove and my wife is driving a sequoia. We also have a super clean 1984 LandCruiser although I'm probably going to sell that after buying this new Tacoma. I'm also on IH8MUD as CJKLR for anyone that's familiar with that site.

    Thanks. I've got about 100 miles on it now. I really like this truck. It rides a whole heck of a lot smoother. I won't be hooking up to any 15k lb trailers with it but that's ok, I've still got a couple of 1 ton Cummins in the fleet for those tasks.
    Thanks again for the welcome.
