    Never, Never, and I mean NEVER call it boredom.

    You have OTHER PRIORITIES.

    I love my truck also, but I'm not passionate about it like I was back in 99 when I bought my first tacoma. Those were the best days..... new to tacomas, new to wheelin, new to wrenchin, new to modifications. It was a blast.

    After 10 years, I'm on my 2nd tacoma. I've gone through 2 jeeps ( built them up), 2 tow rigs and a trailer.... thousands and thousands of dollars in modifications & repairs, upgrades, rolled my jeep twice, and have 8 years of pictures of wheeling to prove it.....


    I'm not bored. I have other priorities. :D

    I'm bored! :eek:

    I was Mod crazy for a while, so much so that I had to limit myself to 1 mod a month. But now I don't even care to do anything to it.
    Hell I don't even wash it anymore.:(

    Drive something else for a few weeks.
    I don't think modding in general has an appeal to me anymore...and it's not like I've been able to really mod anything. I mean the only stuff that sounds appealing is an exhaust, OEM parts/accessories, minor stuff (like BHLM, etc...), and big stuff like a turbo kit or S/C. :p
    Besides that there isn't much gain unless you're doing mods cause you need them. They don't raise value, they're not really useful, and half the time you can never really appreciate them so why bother? It's just wasting money.

    I still enjoy driving mine, but don't have that same motivation as I once did. Modding wise there are a few other performance mods that I would like to add, but won't spend the money for it cause I'm not keeping the truck forever so why bother after what I've all put into it.

    Also I use to wash/wax it twice a month now its once every 2 or 3 months. When its clean it looks good!

    Had mine since Oct '04. Not actually bored with it, though this may be my last mid size truck?

    After riding in coworkers 08 Tundra & 09 Ram 1500,(both crews) my Taco feels closterphobic in comparison.

    I love my truck. I have had it 4 years. Recently I noticed it didn't have the pep it use to. Today I cleaned the throttle body. WOW! What a difference! Took it for a test drive & spun the wheels on take off, by accident.

    Yeah I still think the Tacoma is the best looking truck out there! But I ran out of things I want to do to it? Yeah sure I'm waiting on my BW fenders, but

    Maybe I should "trade it in" and buy the Pyrite Mica. :D
