    I said goodbye to my 2004 TRD OR/SR5 today - sold it to a friend who really loves it. She is the 4th owner and it had 41.126 miles on the ODO when I handed her the keys. Still has the original brakes. It was a great truck with very few problems. I owned it for 7.5 years and other than normal oil changes all I put on it was a set of tires and a new O2 sensor.

    Now I'm even more excited to get my new Tacoma - an Army Green TRD Pro that is supposed to be built next Wednesday. Probably mid to late February until I get it. In the meantime, I'm already stocking up on various small adds for it. :)

    Took this picture today before leaving for the tag agency.

    That's a lot of work on it for 7 1/2 miles. :)

    Good morning crew.
    Sold my old '93 with around 270,000, don't see how it could double that, maybe, if the damn oil leaks could be fixed. Was asked how many times the clutch had been replaced, said never. Just the starter and horn.

    I believe the pic is of Mark Twain. I’m a big Mark Twain fan, read and reread everything he’s ever written.
