    I agree with your comments as well. Our country's leaders need to get back to incentivizing companies to do more of their business here in the states. I have no problem with a global economy when it benefits everyone but we are making it more and more difficult for companies to keep the work here, and still be profitable.

    Is it just me, or does the decal at the back look uneven?
    It is a sweet truck though, but maybe the picture is at an off angle?

    Kudos to you for getting your life together, and not settling for less then you desired. And love those steps. If I did not already have tubes I would get those.

    And lets not forget WHERE most foreign profits are then reinvested......US facilities and Treasuries, Nothing wrong with that money. Its paying the tabs for the US Government right now.

    Those are the Predator Tube steps from Toyota. The only reason I got them is because the GF is a shorty. She's uses them now but she's really going to need them when I lift it!

    Its funny that you mention that. I took the picture on Sunday using my cell phone and didn't upload it till yesterday. When I saw it on a computer screen, i noticed it too and freaked out. I ran outside to check it. Its straight. I think its the angle of the pic and that reflection line.

    First from one Vet to another, thanks brother. Second, your story is very similar to mine; deployments, divorce, financial black hole, and finally....TACOMA! I know the feeling. The truck looks great, now RUN from TacomaWorld as fast as you can, or your wallet will be empty every pay period!!! Good luck with the mods, they will become an addiction.
