    Hello! I am new to the Toyota forums, but definitely not new to forums ( I know how to use the search :) )

    I had owned a 2004 BMW M3 for about two years. I absolutely loved the car (still love the car), but here in Rhode Island, the winters are just too hard for a RWD sports car. So, the car went in, and I brought back this 2009 DCSB TRD Sport. So far I am really loving the truck. Mods are coming already :D

    First picture is when I brought home the BMW. Second is after all the mods. Third requires no explanation.

    Enjoy!

    Congrats on the new truck, I'm sure you'll love the versatility/capability of it. Does the truck feel like a semi after being accustomed to that m3?

    More than ever! Definitely doesn't pull as hard haha... Steering and suspension is soft... But the truck is definitely more practical...
