    did i overpay for the SR5 badging package on my truck, i did not get a plastic thing, just the side and back sticker(s) the plastic badges would have been cool unless it peels easily as you said yours did

    i had no idea my truck could do that!

    Drive in 2wd? I do it all the time :) but really crawling, towing etc, gearing makes a world of difference.

    But if you don't have manual hubs, you cant.

    Nah, not selling my toy. Just some pics to show for Frank.
    I’m working on parts and ideas for 3 linking the rear.
    You are only the 2nd person to make a comment on the plate.

    Do repairs count?
    I just got my '01 2.4l 2wd automatic regular cab on Sept. 25 for $4500 in Oregon. Prices were a bit high when I got mine and needed to replace my last one (same specs) asap due to a crash.
